vomiting

[Sigmund]

Nothing that I have read in a book has been quite as disturbing as the recent evening news. Especially when the revelations about "advanced interrogation techniques" were coming out. Our government (USA) makes me sick on a daily basis.

I would be the first to say that our government has done some atrocious things (experimenting with mentally ill, Tuskegee. how they treat or NOT treat our veterans etc.) but, war is war. You cannot fight an enemy with rules and regulations when the enemy is willing to do ANYTHING , ANY WAY. I have seen too many of our soldiers coming home in coffins, missing limbs, mental illness etc. I haven't walked in their shoes or experienced the horror and atrocities they have and I will not judge them.

Nope, can't say it's happened, but then again-I work as a RN in a men's prison, which sorta helps build one's immunity to vomiting. Now being forced to watch endless episodes of "The Bachelor"-THAT would induce projectile technicolor yawns!

I've written worse things than I've read in SK books. I don't see him as a gory or sick writer actually. Maybe I'm not reading the "sick" or whatever books but yeah... never thought about it that way.

Never puked from what I read, although I was really grossed out and disturbed by a scene in The book "Haunted" by Chuch Palahniuk. I slammed down the book, and couldn't even repeat what I'd read... Pretty gross stuff.

Nope, not even close. But I did have a nasty case of food poisoning about a week ago. Reminded me of how much I HATE puking.

[Homebrew]

Heh, no. Not even close. Iron stomach as someone previously said. The internet has pretty much desensitized me to everything. I could probably read about everything mentioned in this thread at once while eating raw steak without a problem.

Funny, I read "Haunted" and know exactly which scene you're talking about! Luckily I had already heard a similar story years before, so I was a little desensitized to it...
