ITT OP is offended by a terrorist organisation that he supported by watching their video.

This is why applying rule #0 of EVE "Never undock what you cannot replace!" to the real world can be a very good thing, my heliocentric friend :P You need at least a few backups, prefit, rigged, and READY TO UNDOCK on a moments notice :P

What shall I do with my character?????

I made this char before those Isis idiots started running rampant, and even before CCP released the Isis browser. The name was based upon the Egyptian goddess.

So I don't think CCP should change the name, that would be a knee jerk reaction.

Also sorry you watched the video, I made that mistake on some other beheading video a long time ago so I know what you mean. That is one of the reasons I don't use social media anymore, it is simply a depository full of the vile stuff for people to spew onto.

Seriously why would you want to watch that? You searched the internet and wanted to watch a guy get beheaded out of some morbid curiosity I cannot understand that mentality.

On the point of ISIS, no CCP should not rename it.

Start wide, expand further, and never look back

Confirming that if you wanted said video you really wanted to see a video of someone getting beheaded, and you should just own that versus being upset that you just saw someone get beheaded.

Watched the video, uncensored.
Watched several other videos, uncensored.

It's the world we live in, why should the actions of one group who just happen to share a common name mean CCP should go rename the ISIS?

And for the record, they've renamed to IS (Islamic State) now.

Ah, the beheading video that doesn't show the actual beheading. 100% totes real.


Go to liveleak. You will find the whole video. Warning though, it is very graphic (obviously). Youtube and news services dumb it down.

If you want the full uncensored version and all other ISIS executions it's on Liveleak with safe search off and on bestgore.

If you cannot handle even handle seeing the word ISIS in terms of a ship catalog then I highly suggest you never visit either of those sites.

If that is what reminds you of ISIS you really need to pay more attention to world events. ISIS has been around much longer than the ISIS program in game. ISIS has done much worse **** and it is the beheading of an American Journalist that catches your eye? Not the fact a few weeks ago they slaughtered children on video bothered you. It was the American journalist that bothered you. Roll

I'm sorry but, that is just pathetic. I am an American myself and I do find it horrible they did that to the journalist but, come on. I find the killing of their children far worse than killing a journalist who went over there for a chance at a story. We all take risks in life for work. He took a risk as well for work. Those children were just born, living their short lives and they straight up just said "**** you." and killed them all on camera.


FudFace: ISIS roots go back as far as 2006. FYI

that's what you get for being a sensationalist. It's because of people like you that terrorist do stuff like this and record it. Don't fuc*ing watch it if you can't take it. Next thread will be you telling us that all symmetrical eve ships remind you of the malaysian aircrash because you watched the VICE news video where they showed the corpses. If you take "joy" in watching people die then don't complain about it afterwards.

I wish you a few nightmares so you learn to not watch this stuff and indirectly support what the terrorists do.

I thought Isis was an Egyptian goddess the spouse of Osiris, I think that story involves cut off pieces of bodies anatomy too and why what I assume is a fanatically Monotheistic religious group would name themselves after a polytheistic goddess is than beyond me, a quick Google search would clarify all of this but this forum post is about all the effort I am gonna put into this.

Every time you click on something in ISIS it should scream "YOU ARE NOT MY SUPERVISOR" and close again.
