I just watched the Golden Gate one. Very moving. Although it's a bit weird how they've got all the actual footage of these suicides. Don't the fucking cameramen like call the cops or something and try and stop it happening???? The final piece of footage of the goth-type guy was insane.

Kill me if you can.
I don't know Faceless, could be my age, all we used to do was listen to the Clash, drink cider, smoke dope and chase new romantics, oh and smash bus shelters up. All good fun.

43'20 into the Tourettes doc - kablam! That woman's got some patience!

JW, I'm probably about the same age, but I still do almost all of those things now. Though chasing New Romantics is never much fun - they always trip over their haircuts.

i know tourettes isn't funny, but two bits in that documentary really had me laughing ... that bit where he's on a tourettes weekend taking part in a relaxation session 'picture in your mind a beautiful green field, think - whats the length of the grass that you're standing in, is it long grass' 'i'm upto my knees in fucking cowpat!'

and when the other guy also with tourettes is talking about him finding a girlfriend 'if he could meet somebody who could look beyond the tourettes symptoms, he would be able to find someone that he could get on with and settle down with ... another gay man!'

I laughed at exactly the same points - and that woman who was the benefits advisor had some trouble keeping a straight face a few times! haha

This was a good short documentary. It just bolsters my view that when you get poor ignorant people together they do shit like this to people who are different. This goes for skin color and/or religious garments. I know from my own experience this goes for poor white and poor black neighborhoods. It's gone on since I have been a kid and before my time, and I think it will always go on in the future. You just can't educate ignorant people. You can some, but you'll never get them all to see that their actions are so blatantly wrong. I'd like to see them suffer the consequences such as swift punishment harsher jail sentences for these types of crimes. Also, I'd like to see store owners have a gun to protect themselves like they do here. It would give those punks something to think about next time they think they will punch a minority store clerk for shits and giggles. They can guess whether this one has a gun or not and see what their chances are. Well, if anything, maybe this documentary will straighten out the little ones and give them something to think about.

heres a great documentary,

[align=center]Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies

Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies is a 1997 book by Jared Diamond, professor of geography and physiology at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). In 1998 it won a Pulitzer Prize and the Aventis Prize for Best Science Book. A documentary based on the book and produced by the National Geographic Society was broadcast on PBS in July 2005.

<iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/videoserie ... VU6SEbTW5C" frameborder="0"></iframe>
Part 1 of 3

Jared Diamond’s journey of discovery began on the island of Papua New Guinea. There, in 1974, a local named Yali asked Diamond a deceptively simple question: “Why is it that you white people developed so much cargo, but we black people had little cargo of our own?”

Part 2 of 3

On November 15th 1532, 168 Spanish conquistadors arrive in the holy city of Cajamarca, at the heart of the Inca Empire, in Peru. They are exhausted, outnumbered and terrified – ahead of them are camped 80,000 Inca troops and the entourage of the Emperor himself. Yet, within just 24 hours, more than 7,000 Inca warriors lie slaughtered; the Emperor languishes in chains; and the victorious Europeans begin a reign of colonial terror which will sweep through the entire American continent.

Part 3 of 3

So far, Jared Diamond has demonstrated how geography favoured one group of people – Europeans – endowing them with agents of conquest ahead of their rivals around the world. Guns, germs and steel allowed Europeans to colonize vast tracts of the globe – but what happened when this all-conquering package arrived in Africa, the birthplace of humanity?

Encounters At The End Of The World

This is by Werner Herzog, who also made the film about Timothy Treadwell (The Man Who Lived With Bears), and features some powerful imagery and strange situations - the penguin who walks away for example...
