This came up in the Texas dad thread.

 

In order to use the results to judge what 85 meant and what Spindoc meant let's limit this to a "yes" meaning you saw someone die a "violent death."

I found a neighbor and friend minutes after he shot himself. But I didn't actually witness it.

Are car wrecks considered a violent death?

I think that qualifies for the sake of this topic.

Yes, if you were with them at the time of death.

Agreed.

I don't know how accurate this poll will be. Many people who have seen what you are asking do not talk about it with even their closest friends much less post it on a message board.

Fair point.

 

Can a mod change the poll results to being private instead of public?

^If I can remember how.

Unfortunately, yes... one of those things I can never un-see.

^^LCDAWGS19 is absolutely right. Industrial Accident, Car Accident, or War Time Casualty. Those images can be suppressed but are rarely forgotten.

Never seen anyone die violently or non violently. Hope to never see it either. I am certain I would be traumatized unless I had to defend my family or myself. Then the cold, dark PP92 would emerge and that's not good.

mine was amplified as it was an immediate family member. It's been 17 years and I can recall even the minute details.

Sorry, didn't see "violent" until after I had voted. Watched my father-in-law and my mother-in-law die at the hospital, but they weren't violent deaths.

Poll: Once it's been made public it can't be changed. Sorry. Only way to change it would be delete it and start over.
