I'm sorry, but I won't watch Ava's "WWJD" video.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

Yeah. I, a 41 year old snarky bastard, am too queasy to watch a video with images of violently killed children -- the very same images a 15 year old girl patiently manipulated in order to assemble a video. Sorry. I just can't. When somebody posts them in a DU thread, I feel as if my eyes are burning.

For what it's worth, I have a good excuse -- I'm totally against this war; always was. Pro-war freepazoids, though, should be forced to watch it Clockwork Orange style.

End of rant.

1. *psst*

It's really a slideshow

:hide:

2. It preaches to the choir anyway...

Don't feel bad. My b/f refuses to hear Bush speak and mutes the TV whenever the chance arrises... I, on the other hand, don't mind a bit. I like hearing him lie... it strengthens my resolve and I strongly believe we should know our enemies.

To each his/her own. We still have that particular right, so exercise it to your discretion!

3. I'm a big Ava supporter but won't watch that one either

We aren't the people who need to see it-- it's the B*sh loyalists and RW-nuts and chickenhawk warmnongers who need to see it.

It just might push me over the brink. I'm very glad she did it.

4. I understand

Those things're tough to see. I don't usually view stuff like that either, but I did view "WWJD" by Ava. It's very powerful.

5. I watched it.

And I wept. It is incredibly powerful. She's an amazing kid.

[Pharaoh]

6. it is one to send to your fundie friends

[Midlodemocrat]

7. Oh believe me. I did.

Don't see how any one who has children can watch it without weeping. And, at this stage of my life, most of my friends have kids.

[bluerum]

8. It was a powerful experience. nt

[dr.strangelove]

9. It gives me hope for the future

She is a very gifted young woman.

11. that is the difference between "us" and "them"

we see a child hurting,a family grieving,horrific images that should anger any moral person of any faith.They see a means to an end.It's ok.Ava's video made me cry.That is it's intent.i wish they would show it on Fox-let's see all the "Christians" rationalize this.
