I was in my customer service class, and we watched a video today.

"Death Detectives"

It was about the LA Coroner's Office.

They went out and collected bodies.

They showed the bodies without blurring anything out.

One was shot, one was crushed by a crane, two committed suicide, three were homeless, one died in his sleep, and one was a little baby who passed on =/

There was no talk after class was over. Completely silent. I think one guy was crying =/

Not cool, Barb. Not cool at all.

Have your teachers/instructors/professors shown any depressing videos in class?

o_o Why did they make you watch that??

I have the slightest idea. It was either that or something else that she showed to her last class (a criminal justice class).

They showed them cutting off someone's hand, injecting water into the fingertips to rehydrate them, cutting off the fingers, and using them to get the person's fingerprints.

I'd like to keep my hands intact when I die, kthx.

My bio teacher showed us a video about an illness that affects babies and kills them. I can't remember what the illness was, though.

I just remember thinking of ways to cheer myself up to keep myself from crying. And I ended up thinking of something really funny. So then I had to focus on the video again to keep myself from laughing :( It was a mess for me.

I'm more concerned about why you're watching that in a customer service class o__O

am I the only one that thinks that is actually really cool

Not really. That's something I would've watched on my own. We watched Red Asphalt in my health class (ALL OF THEM. There are like 5). It's pretty much to scare people into not driving or driving safe.

It wasn't depressing for me but people almost threw up. A guy's face was hanging off. And here I am, watching with a straight face.

Wow. That's kinda inappropriate.

That kind of thing personally doesn't bother me. I have a super-high tolerance of violence. I've seen that kind of thing before and everyone around me is crying and in shock and I'm just sitting there like 'is it bad that this isn't affecting me that much?'

I think that kind of material is too sensitive for most people though.

In society class, our prof had us watch stuff like that, and it didn't bother me any. But then he did an animal abuse one, and I sat at my seat silently crying through the whole thing.

in the 6th grade, we were learning about the black plague and about ebola. needless to say, the videos for those were disturbing.

In 'Living in a Contemporary World" we watched the videos of 9/11, and heard the phone calls. It was sad.

Ew. When I had health, we watched the mother give birth. That wasn't that nasty part. My teacher decided it would be funny to rewind it. So the baby was like ...fwoosh! back into the mother. Bleh.

Eh, i see that stuff on the internet a lot.

It happens. I stopped being sensitive about it a long time ago.

The Rape Of Nanking. I was crying like a little girl.

Yeesh, I would have looked away the whole time. In one of my classes, maybe it was horticulture, my teacher showed us a video of a pig getting slaughtered. Poor thing got hung up by it's back feet and then they stuck it. Lots of blood.
