WARNING: This thread is most definitely not suitable for all audiences. It contains various elements you might find sick and twisted. All of this is highly real, and you are NOT adviced to read on unless you want to know maybe a little too much about the truth of the world we live in. DO NOT see this as some kind of rule you have to ignore to look like you're tough enough to handle it.

The mass media, our modern, daily saviour that constantly keeps us on the brink of omniscience when it comes to the latest, worldwide news. Along with the internet and other modern communication technologies, we can share absolutely everything with each other these days. Our lives, our feelings, our happiness and our fears are all broadcast on a constant live feed, right to your very home.
So can technology really handle everything for us? For instance, maybe youre feeling a little down at the moment? Why not visit a free, online psychiatrist? Or have a chat with someone on IRC about it? Or why not read about some effective ways to kill yourself painlessly, all one mouse click away from a Google search? Its all there, waiting for you to find.
Isnt this kind of information illegal or even immortal, you might ask yourself. In fact, any kinds of suicide help is indeed illegal in almost every country in the world. Criminal actions are automatically bad and must be stopped, at least in the eyes of most modern and considerate people. Laws are here to control us, and despite what you might think, most people will think its a good thing its there, just so you wont get shot because someone temporarily dislikes you and thinks the world would be a much happier place without you.
So, in the end, all crimes are bad, right? One of the most common crimes in the world is to own unlicensed software. In other terms, to use warez. Take a look at the following quote from the Business Software Alliance:
Although the group (B.S.A) estimates that over 25 percent of software applications in the U.S. are pirated, the problem is far worse in developing areas of the world such as Southeast Asia and Eastern Europe, where piracy rates are said to hover as high as 95 percent or more of all applications in use.
Maybe youve forgotten to register WinZip after your 30 day trial has run out? Or maybe you just happened to download a MP3 file of an artist you really adore? Guess what? Youre one of those criminals who are automatically bad and should prompty disappear off the surface of the world, so we could all enjoy a happy, friendly life. Isnt that what you thought just because you read the little Warez quote? Oh yes, all it took was a slight reminder of how different crimes can be.
There is no perfect crime. That is one of the most famous quotes of our modern days. Everything leaves traces, whether it be fingerprints or small genetic fractions of our body when we scratch our skin, its still there. Some crimes from the ancient Egypt have been solved in modern days thanks to modern methods of the crime scene investigators. So, is there truly no perfect crime? Well, perhaps there isnt. Even if we dont leave fingerprints or even the slightest trace of skin or hair behind, who knows what technology can do in 5,000 years from now? Do you really think the assassins who murdered ancient pharaohs of Egypt really bothered to put on gloves to hide their fingerprints? They werent 5,000 years ahead of their time, and nor are we.
The question still remains, can there be a perfect crime? After all, so many people get caught, and at times, the mass media reports of over-crowded prisons across the world, and how horrible things can be in Chinese prisons, where the prisoners are literary stacked on top of each other, waiting for their execution. Even though many crimes ARE solved, a vast majority of crimes can be ones that arent even noticed. If someone famous and well-respected disappears, everyone will find out, but how much do we know about the poor inhabitants who spend their lives in the street? If one of them would disappear, would anyone really notice? Would anyone truthfully care? Chances are that everyones lives will go on, just like previously.
So what happens to the person who has brutally murdered a forgotten individual? He will live on, knowing what he has done, and possibly never tell anyone about his act of crime. Even if anyone DID notice, the whole investigation might get too expensive, and can be abolished after a few years. Another free criminal, sauntering down the street, possibly enjoying what he or she has committed. A sick and perverted action to most. A great kick of lust and sadistic fulfillment to others. While some say that the horrible memories of the murder will haunt the criminal forever, the criminal himself will possibly only use the despicable memories as a fuel for his satisfaction.
Another atrociously malevolent element of our own human breed is formally known as Snuff movies. Plain and simple, they are scenes where a person gets abused, tortured and in the end, brutally murdered. The whole point behind the name is to get it on tape. The crying and pleading of the victim echoes out through the room, as he, or more often a she, sits around, usually not knowing what is going on due to some sort of drug use. As previously mentioned, this can be the final fate of the homeless people no-one seemingly cares about. The bestial filmmakers and cinematographers, also known as murderers in this particular case, do it for two reasons; their own personal enjoyment and money. Yep, thats right boys and girls, they make it for money. There are people out there who buy these movies for quite a bit of money in the so-called underground who watch these to please their minds and bodies in one way or another. Trust me when I say you wont find these boxed up nicely on DVDs in your local video store.
Of course, then there are alse the government conspiracies and police cover-ups mentioned in many conspiracy books, and whether theyre all fake or not, its up to you to research and decide. The things previously described here are real, and some of these things likely occur somewhere near your very own home. In the end, our lovely mass media along with scientists constantly developing modern technologies might make horrible and even worse material than this publicly available by methods similar to simple web searches. You wouldnt want your future kids to spend their afternoons watching others get slain in real life, would you? Well, just wait and learn, its all out there, and its already spreading like a swarm of locusts.
I've only scratched the surface.
