Did anyone else in the UK see this documentary on Channel 5 tonight?
I thought it was one of the most sickening things ever - basically a few guys with a video camera went out and recorded "bums" ie homeless people fighting each other, setting thier hair on fire etc.
The worse thing is the guy that filmed them seems to have no remorse for this and is making a new film about prostitutes, crack adicts and the mentally ill...
This guy really needs help , and so do the millions of people that bought the video.
:(

I downloaded bumfights 2 off overnet, and in this one scene they paid this homeless man $50 so they could pull his teeth out with a pair of pliers :eek:
-
That\'s quite horrible.
-
i saw one of those videos, the people who make it must be some really moronic people.
they should be slapped.
-
They\'re doing some new thing here in Vegas, I forgot what its called... I think its called, "Declination" or something stupid... And the local news channel interviewed the guys who are in charge of it, and they\'re talking about how society is corrupt and that businessman are ruining the country... Its so stupid... They film barfights and stuff here, and say they aren\'t promoting violence but, "Showing the world what state the country is in".
:rolleyes:
Morons.

sounds just like a michael moore film
-
aw crap that pliers thing is gross

lol, bar fights have little to do with society!
-
You guys are behind. They have been doing shit like this for a long time.
Its actually kinda funny sometimes. I mean come on. They have "Rufus the stunt bum" and "bling bling the crack expert." If thats not enough, they even have their own official model.
Kinda F*ed up huh?
Well there are a couple of riske (risque?) shots in there but no nudity from what ive seen. If so then please close the link.

I wouldnt care, but they are making fun of the socially/economically unfortunate, and they ARE fortunate. Bastards.

McDonalds is always hiring, that\'s all I have to say.

Yer not getting hired at mcdonalds if you smell like shit and are missing yer top front teeth.

You do have a point their. But what most people who mourn this crap don\'t realize is that these people are on the street because they have made idiotic choices. True, some of them were born into it, but most have chosen to go sour at sometime in their lifetime.
When bums ask for change on the street, call me a hypocrit, but I do give them any loose change as long as they don\'t have booze in sight. I remember going to the movies and laughing it up with my friends as I walked into the theatre entrance and it was in the middle of December and about 10 degrees farenheit outside. As I was walking up a little girl grabbed my arm and told me about how they have no X-Mas tree and were trying to buy one so that their dad would be happy because all he does is work to provide them with some really crummy trailer. (they had pictures to show me) I felt really bad for these people, and maybe since I was walking into the movie in a nice jacket and with a bunch of friends, but I was like, im sorry I dont have any money to give you, but take this and I gave her my jacket since she was dressed in rags. She wouldn\'t stop thanking me and such, made me actually feel like a good guy. :)

Bums arnt bad people, I agree some caused there own fate but some are forced there for other reasons.
Either way, they deserve support.
-
Yea, they definetly do not deserve getting made fools of out of the enjoy of others. That is just plain wrong. Don\'t we have this thing called, "police" which are suppose to not let this happen?
-
The police force needs to be comprised of a bunch of bums. Imagine, bums see the most crime probably out of anybody. Give them a nightstick, a gun, and some cuffs... Man I need to be a mayor.

Are you kidding? They aren\'t being forced into this shit. It\'s not anyones fault they cant turn down some money for booze and drugs. Granted all arent into booze and drugs, but most are. Id be willing to bet the guy who pulled his teeth out with pliers was a junkie.

And taking advantage of addicts is okay?

Yeh i know Vid i did a search allready and found luckee\'s old thread but i just saw a documentary about it so i thought i would make a new thread
That is one freaky pic

I was eating at Ruths Chris Steak house the other night and there was a pan handler out side. We had a window seat so we sat there and watched him for a while.
We ordered appetizers and then just threw them away. Ah, it was nice.
-
I watched it last night too, I couldn\'t help but laugh to be honest when that guy appeared with a "Bumfights" tattoo across his forehead.
It was pretty bad about those kids in Vegas copying this and ended up being charged with attempted murder.

HOW DARE THEY EXPLOIT PEOPLE\'S SUFFERING FOR THEIR OWN SADISTIC PLEASURE AND PERSONAL GAIN??
I AM PISSED!!REALLY PISSED!!THEY SHOULD BE EXECUTED FOR DOING SUCH THINGS!!
-
Great now you got Unicron\'s dress all up in a knot...
I agree its pretty sick to exploit these people, than again its pretty sick to exploit anyone, and dont tell me they are doing it under there own "will" that one bum you can tell has a terrible mental disorder.

I dont feel the responsibility to give dignity and respect to those that dont have it for themselves.

For once I agree with Luckee, I\'ve been down in Austin for sometime now and most the ones you see are just plain not poor, or they want a cigarette or some booze. I may feel bad for them, but just because life gives you a bad turn, doesn\'t mean you have to resort to what some of these people do.

Ok I didnt mean it when I said execute them.But I get angry when I see such things.In today\'s societies we happen to accept everything.The more "innocent" things we accept the more we are nearing at accepting the worse.
And indeed thats what we are doing everyday.
We entertain ourselves with outrageous things that reduce human dignity.
-
What you said would be fine and dandy if they had any dignity to begin with, most dont.

How do u know they dont have any for themselves?, its easy to get caught up in a drug world etc if it\'s all uve ever known - ie hard to get out of it

We lose our dignity as well when we -that are supposed to be civilized and educated, entertain ourselves with such spectacles.Even worse when we are trying to find an excuse
-
Luckee, it\'s hard to keep your dignity when you have to eat food out of the trash.
-
So instead of buying booze or drugs, food can be bought.
Im as kind hearted as anyone. Rarely does a day go by that some bum doesnt ask me for change or worse yet..actual bills on occassion.
I never give them any money but always offer to stop from whatever I am doing to buy them food instead. 95% of the time they refuse. I wonder why that is.
-
I give them money if they ask, just because I don\'t need a few dollars and might as well give it to someone else. even if they waste it, i dont care. They can do whatever they want, even if they do use it to buy alcohol, it doesnt mean they are bad people.
-
Drugs are a medium used to get rid of them.Also their problems must be so much worse compared to ours.Even people with homes and families sometimes cant handle huge load of problems and stress in their lives and they drink or take pills (which are basically adiccting drugs) to get rid of the stress.
These people dont differ much from us.And there are bastards who-like those "bumfight" bastards- exploit their problems and try to addict them to drugs for their own gain.And then they use them to find people and addict them too in order to gain their dose.

Meh... One time this girl about my age asked me for a ride to a bus stop. I\'m going to assume she was homeless because she was naturally unkept, and its just an assumption that I felt was safe to make. I was pumping gas at the time, and she said that she would miss the bus because the bus stop was too far away and she wouldn\'t get there in time. So I agreed, it was on the way to where I was headed anyways. She offered me a whole 25 cents for my trouble, but I said it wasn\'t necessary.
Just thought I\'d share.
-
Did you bang the hell out of her?
-
Yeah.It seems that Swifdi is into prostitution.He offered his services tof 25 cents.But he enjoyied it too and didnt accept any payments since he was paid in a different form :p
j/k
Back to the topic.What happened to Swifdi shows that there are good hearted people out there that despite their problems they would offer even the few things left for them to own.

We already know this. Lots of good ppl. Lots of decent bums. Many however are not and do not deserve what they do not have for themselves.

Not all bums are lazy or whatever to become homeless. Seriously, who doesn\'t want to make money?
There are a lot of reasons why someone becomes a bum/homeless that we do not know. So one should not judge and intolerate them and be mean to them.
I know many people who suffer from schizophrenia that live on the street. They are from middle and upper class family who have jobs and house and stuff. But the kids suffer from schizophrenia, bipolar, and other mental disorder thatn as they grew older, no one take cares of them and they become bums/homeless.
And their siblings who are mentally and physically stable and normal live in a different state and have their own family and kids and their own house. Schizophrenia is such a very devastating illness that should be taken very seriously.
Of course there are other reasons that we do not know why someone turned homeless. For example: some went to war and what they witness in the war had haunted their lives and they gone crazy and turned homeless...
anyway, my grammar is a mess. Just fix those words if you like....
-
I think its a bad idea to give a bum money, because most of the time they will spend it on drugs or alcohol. It is much better to just buy them food or blankets or clothing so you know your helping them and not making them more addicted to drugs or alcohol than they already are.
-
watch the news, much?

Bills?! Wow. Talk about some greedy bums. I mean, i like in a big city and not once has a bum EVER asked for a bill. Thats just rediculous.
That is unless you live in the richest area of your city where even the bums have banana republic pants on.
Sometimes i give bums money. Im not a sucker for those kinds of things but sometimes i just cant help feeling sorry for certain people. If the buy booze, w/e. I try not to think of it. If its just a couple nickels and dimes then i dont really care.
And swif: You are a bold man. That girl could have pulled a blade on you. heh. Seriously, i would never let somebody i didnt know into my car.

The same counts for people that have homes and wealth.

I dont argue with that either unicron.
Nicon, I used to live in Lincoln Park and there are some bold bums around. Now in Florida, I run into the bold ones everytime I try to go out.
It was rare in Chi though.
