There's plenty of nudity on YouTube.
You're being ridiculous dude. Your screenshot is scrolled to the very very top of the screen. One scroll down and you'd see reaction posts - hell, you'd also see the rest of the post.
Oh my god man are you serious? The f'ing resolution of the screen doesn't mean shit. What should be common sense is it takes less than a second to scroll down one measly post to see at least a couple replies about the video.

Wow, I don't know why I click on videos after being warned. I guess I figured it couldn't be too bad if it's on Youtube. I need a drink. That is absolutely awful.
Some might say that they want this to be seen so maybe someone might be spurred into action. Right now this is just a tug of war between principle members of the UN council, with Syrian leadership playing at peace and still engaging in slaughter. I say let it be seen and heard.

We'll see if local leaders can do anything meaningful.
When has the Arab League ever done anything?

My screenshot is how the page opens and how I start reading it, you scroll down when you need to read more, I saw the video before the rest so I clicked it, it was as simple as that.
Yes that would be common sense, if this was 4chan and the link to the video was from liveleak or something. Not when it's GAF and freaking Youtube.
What are you talking about? This isn't about beliefs.

Uhhhh why does "if it's on YT it's ok" serve as an acceptable way to determine if something is okay to get posted on GAF? This isn't really a thread to discuss this but I don't think my comment is thread-worthy... I just feel this has been happening a lot on GAF and needs to be aired out.
Clearly that link should be removed from OP. Doesn't matter if it points to YT or WSHH or some shock site... The OP is responsible for the content he/she directs us to, not the website.
If someone posted a link to some porno that hasn't been taken down from Youtube yet, they'd be banned. That video clearly upset a ton of GAFers who weren't prepared for it. Video of brutally murdered kids don't stay on YT for long. It will get taken down most likely.

Unfortunate.
Beliefs are about more than just religion. The forces that are doing this obviously believe that they are in the right, no?
Well, that wasn't what I got from your previous post. But alright.

Now would be the time to start.
The league of murderous dictators should save a people from a murderous dictator? Too funny.
Sorry, maybe I should have been a little more clear. You will have to excuse me, I'm English.. so my grasp on the language isn't brilliant, lol.

Then I apologize.
You're absolutely dense if you clicked the YT link and didn't expect to see a video showcasing lot of dead bodies. It's that simple.
o.t. - It's a saddening that this is still happening in so many corners of the world. I'd say massacre isn't human, but then I'd be wrong. We're fucked up.

They were shelled by artillery and tank fire for 18 hours straight from Assad forces that had been surrounding the area for weeks.

Hell no. There's sufficient warning that it's graphic and for starters, the thread is about the massacre of civilians. The first link blurs out most of the gore for people who want the report without the gore but it's a little head-in-the-sand to say something should be removed from a discussion just because it's an upsetting fact of the brutal slaying of children in Syria.
"Common sense" would tell you to read some reactions about a video featuring 100 deaths.

Sunday Independent newspaper in the UK have replaced their normal front page style with this.
Watched the video, violence doesn't usually bother me but I can't bring myself to watch it again.
Pretty ballsy of them, but getting the UK public riled up won't do anything unfortunately. The UN's hands are tied.

I saw the video on the Al Jazeera site and I thought, "The hell? Why's everyone so worked up over the video?"
Then I saw the Youtube video...dear God.

Haven't read the whole thing, and I'm not saying this just to go against the grain, but this is not something Assad's forces would do. This is counter productive to their stance. Sure they want to supress the opposition, but doing this would not only make the opposition more angry, but it would give reason for outsiders to come in and support them.
These sort of tactics are straight from Al-Qaeda. They will KILL anyone and claim them as martyrs for a greater cause. This is nothing new.
Either way. Those who did this need a slow painful death.

The best they can do us ask for intervention from the UN. That was the tipping point in Lybia before the air campaign.

Read the UN report instead of watching the video.
Pretty damning of the government but also the rebels sound pretty scummy in how they almost seem to relish putting non violent people in the firing line. I honestly find it hard to imagine how sending aid to rebels or invading would make their lives better in the short term. This one is a bit too tricky for me to sort out by myself.

It's a recent report but not covering this incident.

Baaah!.. I'll read through it anyway... I still don't think Assad's forces did this (not saying they aren't capable of doing this) but as I said before is highly counter productive.

The report to me shows an escalation of govt response that might plausibly end up here. As has been pointed out here America had no problem killing lots of Vietnamese children when they thought it was what needed to be done.

Yeah, that's one of the worst things I have ever seen. I literally sat there with my mouth agape for about 20 seconds and had to turn it off because I actually became a little nauseated from it (and I don't consider myself that squeamish either). I have a feeling that this might be the last straw, and will provoke some kind of foreign intervention. Global reaction to it reminds me of the reaction to the Račak massacre in 1999.

Terrible things happening in this world. Video didn't shock me though :/. I'm more curious about what the Xenoblade picture means.
No, there's no evidence to support such claim.

Either way? You'd think if rebels were committing atrocities, there would be some proof.
It seems they were killed by bombings, it's hard to know who's responsible.
Also, the rebel forces could have a lot of mercenaries, like most of the ''rebels'' in Libya, so maybe they didn't care if the bombs would hit civilians.

I condemn this vicious attack and urge the Syrian Government to stop slaughtering its own people.

I don't think it's the rebels. Rebels wanted freedom. Assad fights rebels. 3rd party takes advantage escalating violence. This wouldn't be the first time in the Middle East that has happened...

Is it not amazing how this "3rd party" mainly targets the opposition, with 0 incidents in pro-gov rallies, zero.
Except they don't have tanks or artillery fire. Also mercenaries were on Gadafi's side, most of the rebels were tribes men and volunteers.
A lot of pretentious posts in this page.
The whole uprising in Syria escalated because government forces tortured and killed children. Of course they're the most likely culprit here, don't be naive.
