And since you asked, I'll answer your question. LiveLeak is a “Shock/ Gore” everything goes website featuring for the most part videos of human misfortunes and tragedy. Everything from raw war footage, accidents involving human death and carnage, human and animal mutilation, crimes caught on video, shootings, and bizarre human behavior etc, etc. Viewers are allowed to make comments on the content, with most being of a racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic in nature and in general mean, hateful, crass comments. In particular the website does have a disclaimer and it's policy explicitly discourages racist comments, but some of the worst of the worst individuals still do. The site also offers some political oriented and human interest videos and I might say some very thought provoking content, but for the most part it panders to the basest of human nature and behavior i.e. violence, human aggression and as I said human tragedy and suffering. <br /><br />As for my opinion on plaques about Nessie around the loch, I'm sure that there are many and one more won't hurt anybody, well, except the skeptics. Loch Ness is most famous for it's resident monster and most people's first thought upon hearing the name immediately think about it's renowned cryptid. If it helps the economy by drawing in all the tourist and keeping alive interest in this mystery, that's just grand with me!<br /><br />Just as a note of interest, about plaques around the Loch. Back in 1952, a famous car racer by the name of John Cobb was killed while attempting a water speed record at Loch Ness. There is a commemorative plaque on the north shore road A82 in his honor. Now, here is the interesting part of his death: Unofficially, some have suggested that he collided with a Nessie causing his racer to disintegrate. Far fetched?...yeah.<br /><br /> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYrafKbTqV4John Alvaradohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18069155979480353745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-358999656752738469.post-7990479318740204202018-07-20T21:37:55.528-07:002018-07-20T21:37:55.528-07:00John Alvarado I’ve never heard of Liveleak, what i...John Alvarado I’ve never heard of Liveleak, what is it? The name would suggest it’s political?<br /><br />What are your thoughts on sceptics being resistant to this excellent idea for plaques? I can’t see why anyone would object.

But what ...I’m not on Facebook so I can’t see that. But what is wrong with these negative people? What harm would the wonderful plan for plaques cause? I feel the sceptics sometimes want to shut the mystery down simply because they’ve been unable to solve the puzzle of why so many people have had so many great sightings of the beast. Is Dick Raynor ok? The more I read about him the unhappier he seems. He never used to be like this towards the local treasure we call Nessie.Naturewatch Enghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03062985122288755141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-358999656752738469.post-26052869896272739662018-07-19T14:38:54.140-07:002018-07-19T14:38:54.140-07:00Congratulations on the adoption of your idea.

It's an incredibly iconic, bold image that probably helped create the movement towards solving this mystery. Shame it's a fake, but I liked the 'Water Horse' movie's take on things.
