1. The same people who rave about the Passion?
Are the people who don't want the footage to be shown the same hypocrits who loved the Passion?

5. I don't think it's the FReeps saying not to show it.
The FReeps had pictures all over their web site yesterday so they obviously have not problem with people seeing it. They actually feel that the pictures will galvanize support for Bush as the country would want revenge.

A large majority of the results are that it should be shown. There's just more that want a warning from the media before they are shown.

Can't argue with that...the media did warn people before they displayed the pictures of Saddam's sons.

2. I DUed it.
I think they should show it but warn people before so people have the choice to look away. I guess most freepers would be opposed to showing anything negative about the Iraq war.

Aren't we calling it DUing instead of freeping? I'd prefer DUing so I don't have to use the term the enemy is using. Since I am a new member, could any of the older members give us their opinion? DUing or freeping?

Thanks

10. I agree
I remember during the Vietnam war they showed on ABC news a North Vietnamese shooting a prisoner in the back of his head. My son happen to be watching. I think he was seven years old at the time. It did bother him to no end. I had to tell him we were moving to Canada if the war was still going on when he became of age.

6. This is what Iraqis...
Edited on Thu Apr-01-04 12:24 PM by tjwash
...and Arabs in general do to people occupy their country, steal their oil, and try to push their way of life on to them. Now the freepers are all shocked that the American's are the ones on the rotten end of the deal.

I suppose that they need to release their pent-up, turban-phobic idiocy in some way. What they don't seem to get is that his will not end until we pack it up and get out. Not one second sooner.

8. I voted for them to show it without warning.
War is a shocking and horrible thing and you shouldn't be able to cover your eyes when it presents itself. Support the war? Gaze upon ye works and despair...

I don't support the war because I don't want to have to see sh*t like this at all, warning or no.
