The Joys of Metal Casings

[rocket]

I no what you mean it can be so tempting the curiosity may get the better of you though. You’ll get used to it.

Here is a good one,

Why you don’t try and throw an with a short fuse M-80s:

Holy fuck!

Says it all.

 

Gore used to bother me, but not anymore. Don't know what happened.

[Draco_Aster]

You have become used to it. Gore is all around us, look at all the computer games (oh how I love CSS) and movies and internet (www.rotten.com to satisfy your curiosity). Many years ago these images and animations would have given people nightmares and made them sick (I am feeling rather sick in the gut after seeing concequences).

 

And yet I will still watch violent movies and play shooting games....because I can't get enough of it

[rocket]

When you think about it the making you sick in the gut is a good thing it makes you think twice before you make/do something and it discourages you from doing stupid things and ending up like what’s in the pics

i hate you all lol

That is why I never ever hold an pyrotechnic device in the palm of my hand unless absolutely necessairy.

 

Usually I pick up my bangers with their fuse and I NEVER light them in my hand.

 

And who the fuck is that sick basterd that takes pictures of these things... Is there like a man that takes pictures of every injury in a hospital..

I belive that these pictures are taken for anti-fireworks propaganda puroposes and for documentation purposes in the hospital.

[_DB_]

Well, gore in video games and movies is different since it is not real. These pictures on the other hand are real.

 

My dad has a picture laying around somewhere that was taken in the hospital when he had to go to the emergency room a few years ago. He got his hand caught in a machine at his job which peeled the skin and muscle from his palm back to his wrist. It was pretty gruesome but no permanent damage was done. So they do take pictures of injuries, atleast at ERs.

 

Anyway I think this is a good thread for showing the true damage pyrotechnic devices can inflict on the human body if used improperly. Scary stuff it is.

[Swany]

Yeah, my dad is a doctor at the local emergency room. He has seen plenty of blown apart hands due to sillyness like this, though he has not seen any directly related pyrotechnic/chemistry/HE deaths. Nor high voltage for that matter. He has been working here for 20 years or so, and I belive the average span for an ER doc is about 9 years and then they burn out.

 

I like violent videogames, and I would not blame them on problems like Hillary Clinton would. I mean, in the early 1800's they thought the waltz was going to ruin the world, in the 1900's it was the radio, and now the internet. I see a pattern, and society still flourishes for the most part.

[artificier]

I never love metal casing , i too dangerous !

At times like these i feel the need to quote my favourite band

 

Eye on the TV

Cause tragedy thrills me

Whatever flavor

It happens to be

 

Like:

"Killed by the husband"

"Drowned by the ocean"

"Shot by his own son"

"She used a poison in his tea

then kissed him goodbye"

That's my kind of story.

It's no fun til someone dies

 

Don't look me at like

I am a monster

Frown out your one face

But with the other

Stare like a junkie

Into the TV

Stare like a zombie

While the mother holds her child,

Watches him die.

 

Hands to the sky crying,

"Why, oh why?!"

 

Cause I need to watch things die

From a distance

Vicariously, I

Live while the whole world dies

You all need it too - don't lie.

 

Why can't we just admit it?

Why can't we just admit,

We won't give pause until the blood is flowin'

Neither the brave nor bold

Writers to stories told

We won't give pause until the blood is flowin'

 

I need to watch things die

From a good safe distance

Vicariously, I

Live while the whole world dies

You all feel the same so

Why can't we just admit it?

 

Blood like rain, come down

Drawn on grave and ground

 

Part vampire

Part warrior

Carnivore and voyeur

Stare at the transmittal

Sing to the death rattle

 

La, la, la, la, la, la, la-lie (x4)

 

Credulous at best

Your desire to believe in

Angels in the hearts of men.

But pull your head on out.

Your head believes it, give a listen.

I shouldn't have to say it all again

 

The universe is hostile

So impersonal

Devour to survive

So it is, so it's always been ...

 

We all feed on tragedy

It's like blood to a vampire

 

Vicariously, I

Live while the whole world dies

Much better you than I.

This has to be the longest sentence I've ever had the misfortune to read. Good info though.

No offense to some here, but if you are desensitized to actual pictures of dismemberment, something is wrong.. your brain wiring is numb or something.

 

It's a lot like graphic porn. Desensitizing. I think every male especially goes through a porn phase, one best skipped entirely. Gore is similar to porn in its desensitizing effects. You begin to lose empathy, and the pictures no longer have the intended impact.

 

Think of the movie "8mm" - a similar action takes place. Consumers hungry for violent porn are bored, and to fill the void, actual "snuff" films are made. The detective, Nicholas Cage, gets totally fried looking at all the porn while tracking down the killer(s).

 

As for me, I don't need to, or want to click those links. I know what can happen to the human body.

[TheSidewinder]

As I said in another post, using proper grammar and punction is a requirement here at APC.

 

Another thing we ask members not to do, is to bump very old threads unless you have important information to add to it, or an update to it that corrects misinformation.

 

In the future, people, please keep this in mind. Thank you.

After reading this, you should try a bit harder. Maybe copy and paste your sentence(s) to word or something and use the spell check BEFORE posting. It makes everything so much easier and more pleasant to read for everyone else.

Fortunately I still haven't been desensitized to the rape of the English language, ......as committed above. Jesus-God, spell-check if free for fuck-sake! Your sentiment is correct and well meaning so I don't mean to be a dick, but Goddamn man, a little effort wouldn't kill you.

 

In dealing with energetic materials it is absolutely essential not to make mistakes since even simple mistakes can have catastrophic results. Please take the time to put as much due-diligence into your writing as you do to your pyro craft. You work will be much more respected and appreciated if you do so.

[TheSidewinder]

Ooooookay, that's just about enough from all sides.

 

Members, leave the Moderating to the Moderators. The "Report Post" button works fine now, in case I missed that in the New Features post I made ages ago.

 

Ralph, find a way to make readable and reasonably well-punctuated sentences. So far they haven't been.

Dude, how old are you?

[Ralph]

i wouldn't judge by age just as judging a book by its cover is foolish or a persons knowledge by their spelling but i am 17 years of age and ashamed of my dyslexia and despite this attempt to contribute in a forum do you have a problem with this?
