You were the one who made the crack about people blaming everything on Bush.

Always. It's called having an open mind.

Kid's do these things. Um, well, so do some adults. Anyway, now that you said he had to repeat a grade, he's probably depressed.

I understand that, but while we are on the subject, exactly what was your Bush comment?

Either he is making it up for attention, in which case stamp him with the "AW" stamp and forget it or let it be. If he is strong enough to get over it, so be it. If not, it will overcome him. Either way, it is good. Didn't French children get to go watch the guillotine at work? Did they have all these psychobabble crap at that time? Thankfully not.

Does he play video games? Saddam hanging is nothing compared to gutting a German with a knife, or taking a base ball bat and killing random people. I mean something like a hanging wouldn't even be GTA material.

More likely? You and I must have gone to the same psychiatry school. Guess you aren't one of those that thinks the death penalty is a deterrent. **** the Bathist Sunnis, the Shiites and anyone else over there who is shooting guns into the air--pick whatever day you want for my directive.

Whoa man!!! He didn't say his nephew was a gay antisocial nerdchild--he said he was a little disturbed by a video of a hanging. Let's not go overboard.

Can you honestly say it won't deter you? I know it deters me.

LMAO...you guys can divert the simplest of statements into..into...a maelstrom of politically schizophrenic rhetorical dramboozelweenie.

I'll take the OP as face value. Young kid, almost a teen, sees a disturbing and REAL video on TV, maybe it hits the kid that this is real and a once leader of a nation is about to hang by rope. So maybe it hits him on some level and he dreams about it.

I saw the video and it was disturbing.

Now I'm off to go have some bad dreams. About threads veering off-topic wildly and never endddiiiiinnnnnnnnnnngggggggg....

Ok! My bad...

The way I see it, Bush paid for the whole video to be staged in a Bollywood studio, with Ben Affleck playing Saddam and Rush Limbaugh was the hangman. If you slow the video down and play it backwards, the slightly garbled arabic actually becomes the repeated phrase "spend more for the war in Iraq, spend more for the war in Iraq"...and if kids see the video, it will disturb them until the Playstation game of the event is released and they can hang Saddam in the game, thereby eliminating the dreams. A cut of the profits from the game sales directly funds Bush's war chest.

Better?
