Is bumfights unethical? Is it abusive? How come people are entertained by such of a cruelty? I want some serious discussion about this.

I don't think it's unethical, some of the footage people got uptight about was them fuckin with innocent bums, it's not our fault they're homeless. if they wanna get drunk then it's a privilege for us to fuck with them, that's all I gotta say.

I laugh at the misfortune of others. and I'm entertained mainly because it's not happening to me. the end.

But the truth is that alcoholism is a disease. Yeah, you have to make a choice to drink, but there is genes that ease you to get addicted. Once you are addicted, you cant do shit. And because everybody wants just laugh at you, you cant even get any help.

And laughing at misfortuned ones... isnt that sad. And what if you are misfortuned one someday? In all cases think about karma biggrin.gif

and it does make sense, how could it not? put it this way, is it better to see someone else get made fun of or badly hurt than yourself? it's one of those moments you can't really explain why you laugh, but it's the whole point of having a different sense of humor, some laugh at this joke and get entertained, while others get offended and mad. I gave my opinion just as you asked, yet it doesn't make sense to you.. I don't see how really.

But as you know I film stuff... like bums. So Iám interested about talkin about moral issues of it and why people find it entertaining. These forums have too much gay jokes and flammage, some real discussion is nice change.

Yeah, I get what you mean, but I call that feeling relief (when something bad is happening to others, but not you). And yes when stuff goes way over the line the shock value makes people laugh. And imagination about others reaction.

And interesting quote from beginning of bf1:

it is weird tho, I laugh at someone throwing a bag of trash on a guy walking down the road, but if it was me I'd be extremely pissed.

so why is it entertaining? because you get that mixed feeling. laugh at them or visualize yourself in the situation.

Yeah, I like those wtf scenes. Like the car with aquarium on the backseat.

But I dont get fighting. It just makes me agressive, specially parts where somebody is beaten even when down. Makes me want to kick those guys asses, but then, I dont think I could. Stereoid motherfuckers. And I dont even have a change to try since its just goddamn videotape. Makes me feel powerless and disturbed. Why would anybody continue beating when the other guy is lying helpless on the ground? He has allready won, its jsut pure cruelty.

Yeah, if somebody would post mixup with stunts that Rufus has done everybody would be "haha, funny" But now it has different reactions. Because they abuse somebody who cant make his own decissions. I think some people find it disturbing since its similar to abusing a child who cant make own decissions either.

Yeah, bf footage is very powerfull it raises lots of emotions from agression to laughter. Like I said in the following quote. It must be partly the human interest in everything new, and the need of feelings. People watch different movies to get different feelings: horror, comedy, romantic....

I liked bum fights when I watched it, then a documentary came onto uk tv a year after the first release and went back to see rufus the stunt bum and the other one, they are all depressed now and feel used by the kids who made one of them get a tat on his forehead, plus the kids who made the film got screwed out of the money made from the dvd release

You all love to laugh...you laugh lauder when you see something comic, when you hear Martin Lawrence,Chris Rock, when you see Mr.Bean's face, you love to laugh.
Would you laugh at a homeless man who gets beaten up and spray painted by some stupid guys? Would you laugh at those wack jokes made on people without power of defence? I'm asking because there's a film who seems to be "the most downloadable film on net"...now I hope it isn't being downloaded for the fun of it:

"I found out why people laugh.They laugh because it hurts...because it is the only thing that can make it stop hurting." Robert A.Heinllein

The main point is that for making such a dumb film you have to spend some money, some time, you must have a whole team behind it. WHY wouldn't you do that film to HELP those homeless men instead of burning their hair and tie them up in the middle of the night. YOU (guys who made that...if you ever get the chance to read this) would have been more appreciated if you had made a film where the homeless are being showed to the world for making them understand that they should help those men.
They had the nerd to put this quote at the start of it
Pain isn't entertaining...Put yourself in the situation, try to think about the picture for a lil bit. When the times is hard, why make them harder with films like these, why instigate to violence, to war, to hurting the one next to us? When the future is in our hands why make it worse than it already seems to be? Try to make a change, remember-helping others you help yourself. Why buy rims when you can give a family a place to stay? Why finance golf when you can finance hospitals with medication? Why dreaming about big houses and platinum teeth when we're starving? Life is hard and painful enough don't make it worse...
You know WSC's hit "Gangsta Nation"...at the end of it you hear someone that argues for some "bussiness" problems and after that you hear a slap. I don't know if the o g's enjoyed this film, actually I'm sure they didn't because Cube is the one who says "Throw away the guns, have nuthing but fun".


If any of you stupid ones who helped making that video is looking for a REAL challenge, with punches and kicks, violence, blood, send me an email maybe we will meet someday.

Those who love pain will get it, those who love peace will fight for it, those who are ingorant shall die, those like you should change their mentality in a better one!

I don't agree with the majority of that, I mean if we all started becoming preachers and "do gooders" then we wouldn't have any time or money to enjoy ourselves with. The ability to change is also within the bums. They could clean themselves up in a river and look for a job. Instead they choose to roam the streets.

Read my posts. Its not like bums could do that. Its like saying to cancervictim: "Dude get it right, get it cured and get back to job" Being a bum and a homeless person isnt a decission. Why would somebody decide "Yeah, I want to fuck up my llife and be a bum." Human brain cant do decissions that would harm themselves.

Yeah, you should not be burnout by being a goddamn hippie, but doing some good would not bankrupt us, few minutes a day, few pennies per day would make a big difference.
