The editing and filming in the Isis latest video is anything but amateurish. Their newest one is something straight out of Hollywood.The level of detail is absolutely jaw dropping believe me. You are right about fakes. Plenty of them about like the American hostage Nick Berg who got beheaded. That's fake.

Do you watch these grim ISIS execution videos?

In so far as if we jumped into the future say 2, 5 or as much as 10 thousand years and we look back at ourselves, we would be just after Jesus in the timeline, and we will be looking at the time the world was unsettled with events of biblical proportions. We are also still at the point of God worship which I consider a religious era.
It's more about how we will look back at and categorise these times in the context of written history.

saw one years ago, never again made me feel sick and to make it worse it wasn't quick and painless

That's suspicious to say the least.
We were burning people at the stake only a few hundred years ago. Same with Crucifixion. These practices went back hundreds of years ago. Why would events like these change in the future? Religion or power will see to this.

The only one I have ever watched was the Ken Bigely(sp?) beheading and said never again.

Doesn’t matter, youtube and other streaming sites are just a new medium for film.
I am sure most people have seen concentration camp clips where people were shot whilst standing in front of a grave. We have seen nasty Vietnam stuff, the JFK assisnation, and plenty blown up people over the last decade, and all part of TV documentaries and news. The point is if we didn't have film and photo's we would be ignorant. What ISIS are doing is shocking in the short term, but their videos are uniting the world against them. They think that these broadcasts will help their cause but it will have an opposite effect.

I've been shown the Jordanian pilot one its awful, I wouldn't want to see it again , I also saw a still picture years ago of some bloke in Iran who'd been hung upside down and whipped and beaten mercilessly, it really upset me at how hopeless he must've felt his situation was , I actually felt I wanted to just hug the bloke and let him know that someone cares even though it wouldn't have done him any good.

No, though a part of me its tempted, voyerism I supposed.
Though I get uncomfortable even watching fictional executions. The Tudors was one programme which was near the knuckle for me. Could watch the beheadings, but burning at the stake....no way.
Odd though, as centuries ago, public executions would attract crowds the size of what we see at football. I know these were "criminals" but goes to show that people were perhaps less squemish about watching death.

I always remember , I think it was from the Vietnam War where a soldier held a gun to another one's head and shot him. That was horrific, especially the 2 or so minutes afterwards.
That was shown, and is still shown on documentaries about the Vietnam was, as is the little girl with her clothes and skin burned off running away from her village that the Americans had just Napalmed.
The soldier shooting the other one in the head still haunts me and I must have seen it 40 years ago

The opening scene last night where the chap was having his back broken by some contraption led to me turning that straight off.

strong and stable with me, or...
Now don't start confusing Wolf Hall with The Tudors….
Is it not a case of them prodding a stick at the 'West' with these videos? What I mean is they want a military type reaction against them, so they can play the victim to garner more support, and posting these videos is their way of provoking that reaction as quickly as possible.

I don't know if it will change in the future but with the way we have so much global media coverage the world is a witness to it. The only way we could understand the horrors of war in the past was when we personally acted in one.

No true...they were damn site worse..LOL
They still do in certain countries. When I was working in Riyadh I was asked if I wanted to go and watch the weekly activity in 'chop chop square' (think it's always on a Friday).
