Excellent analogy.

You can watch them actually cut the guys head off. If you so choose, Just google isis James foley beheading.

No thanks. I saw a woman get her head slowly cut off on a video once. I still have nightmares about it.

I've never watched one.
As a child, I used to cry on eid al-adha for speaking out loud.

I wonder what that taste like.

Like fucking awesome, that's what.

I still get nightmares at the memory of seeing videos of people getting shot through the head. They were still alive and in total agony before second and subsequent shots.

I'm actually shaking right now - it's the first time I've thought of it in years. You can never unsee that stuff.

Yeah, during French Revolution when guillotine was the national sport, some scientific minded chap actually persuaded some soon to be victims to agree to keep blinking their eyes for as long as possible after decapitation in order to determine how long the head might remain conscious after it comes off.

It appears 30-45 seconds is the conclusion.

This appears to agree with another experiment carried out also during the French Revolution, where the experimenter yells into the ear of the decapitated head, or prick it with a pin, to elicit response. In general the decapitated head responds to the stimuli about half a minute after decapitation. Then stop.

Although some heads kept responding for up to 2 minutes.

I'm going to have nightmares today (especially considering I've had weird zombie nightmares lately)

I lived through the revolution in 1978-79 which overthrew the Shah of Iran. I was twelve years old. I'll never forget what I witnessed there; rioting around my school being broken up by army troops with a couple of armored cars, my bus rolling over bodies like they were speedbumps.

I wrote a book about it, and tried to put it to bed, but goddamn if I don't still leak a little when I think back to being young and terrified and deflowered. It changed me forever.
