do we get a pleasure from watching someone dying

Re: do we get a pleasure from watching someone dying

@TLK

I know that your quick answer would be no.

But then why do the videos of someone dying (mostly unnatural death) go viral on YouTube?

We had Saddam’s hanging, Sialkot brothers’ killing, all the Taliban beheading videos get millions and millions of views. Now Bhutto’s hanging video is on YouTube (someone sent me the link but I refused to watch it)

Ok maybe you clicked those videos out of curiosity. But don’t forget that around the world, public executions are highly attended events, often happen in stadiums. That means that people plan to attend those executions.

Why are we so heartless in nature?

Bhutto as in zulifqar ali Bhutto? The video is out? How do we know it’s real?

Out of the examples you listed, I only saw Saddam’s hanging video because I was curious to see how he faced death. I must say he was brave. The same reason I would probably watch ZAB’s video if it is out there now. I don’t like to watch videos where people are being beaten up. I didn’t watch Sialkot beating videos or the video of a couple of ahmadi’s who were beaten to death in Bangladesh.
