Is this....like actual videos of people dying?
If so, I guess they like it because it's REAL people dying as opposed to pretend people dying. WTF is the only thing I can say about this.
Yes it is. I could make some grandiose speech about watching videos of people dying in order to desensitize yourself to death and take the fear out of the ultimate boogeyman in life, but honestly? For most people its just a really morbid sense of entertainment. Once you've seen all the tentacle rape porn and goatse and actual rape and cannibals wearing other people's skin, you need something MORE to get that rush of "my god, what is wrong with me".
Jesus dude what the actual fuck? There are way better ways of getting a "rush". Visit an amusement park, have sex, exercise, find a fucking hobby, learn an instrument, go to a show, eat some MDMA or something. No offense, but it comes off slightly psychopathic to get amusement and enjoyment out of watching people suffer and die. I understand it's rebellious and shit but fuck dude.. These are other human beings ya know? I'm not trying to be judgmental, I just can't even begin to wrap my head around the thought process of sitting down and choosing to watch someone get beheaded or stabbed to death when I know it's an actual human being feeling pain and actually fucking dying.
>Visit an amusement park, have sex, exercise, find a fucking hobby, learn an instrument, go to a show, eat some MDMA
One of these things doesn't belong. Seriously, MDMA is not on the same level as the rest of those things, and if you disagree you'll probably burn your brain out.
Lol abuse of MDMA will negatively effect your serotonin and dopamine receptors, yes, but recreational use will have little to no effect at all. If you'd like to get into my drug use we can. I use MDMA about 2 or 3 times a year, I heavily supplement before and after a roll, and I have a test kit to be sure that what i'm taking is predominately MDMA. The reason I included that is because it truly is an amazing rush. It feels incredible and is amazingly therapeutic and can help you realize and correct some serious shit in your life, which I feel like we can all use at one time or another. The studies done in the Reagan years that claimed that MDMA burned holes in your brain or caused Parkinsons disease are bullshit. The rats were dosed with more drugs than just MDMA and were given huge dosages, the guy who originally did the experiment even claimed it's bullshit. The neurotoxicity(provided you're a responsible user) mainly comes from dangerously high body temperature which can be avoided with proper supplementing and avoiding hot clubs and staying hydrated. Trust me man, i've actually researched this stuff probably more than you have and I know the risks, but at the same time I know how to use responsibly and I think that the incredible experience I get from the rare roll is well worth it.
Edit: Just realized I typed a novel.. TL;DR: MDMA is neurotoxic when abused, but recreational and responsible use will have little to no negative effects on your brain.

Damn everything was good until the last point. Add 3 years and replace SHM with Porter or Mat zo and you'd be pretty close.
You're still an insufferable nu-raver who obliviously ruins everything he touches, and who, unless you actually educate yourself and change course, will not be able to meaningfully participate in society in a few years because you'll have developed marginal behaviors and social patterns.
We have remnants of the 90s rave scene here in Montreal, and it is NOT pretty. Those people wasted away for a couple years, and now they're basically soulless, slaves to their hunger for a quick rush. Quit while you're ahead.
These are just baseless assertions and anecdotes though man. I go to school I work part time and yes I enjoy electronic music events(go figure). I don't roll very often, like I said this year I think i've done it like 3 times. The problem here is that you've subscribed to the bullshit "drugs are bad, mmkay" mindset and think experimenting with a bit of MDMA or LSD is literally Hitler, when it's not. Nothing is good when abused, but it's totally fine to use it on occasion.
>The problem here is that you've subscribed to the bullshit "drugs are bad, mmkay" mindset
I'd explain to you exactly how wrong this is, but I don't have the time or crayons. Suffice to say, you're assuming an awful lot of things, and most of them are bullshit.
I'll leave it to this: when you learn things because of MDMA and LSD, it's not you becoming smarter, it's your brain twisting itself into knots to better accommodate your artificially altered reality. That reality will go away when the trip is over, but your "learning experience" will remain, progressively turning your relationship with the world into a mess.
