Some amazing pictures(hopefully this isnt considered spam since I posted the content)...BEFORE anyone asks, 3) is lightning+volcano . Honestly the first time I saw these pics, i was like daaaamn. I just wanted some of your intial reactions after looking at these pictures. It's funny though we look at some of these pics and are like "whooaa thats terrible" but 10 years people will look at us through events like Abu Gharaib and think the same thing..

@ Zeal, We all know you are a forum idiot, who likes to have fun and be stupid. But seriously, after reading your reply. You are a ******* moron, and I really wish there where no asterisk in the eff word so you could get the full effect of where I am coming from. The pictures are history, they tell a story of something you probably will never understand. Take them for what they are, if they upset you, Yell. If they make you tear up, then cry. If they make you laugh, then do so. If they offend you, then don't look. They are out there to make you think and get some emotion, to understand what the whole world is going through. Not just some kid in Harlem. STOP PULLING THE RACIST CARD! That **** is played out.

I was just coming down to comment on Zeal when I saw your comment.. You, compton,Tx, my friend could not of said it any better!! I applaud you.

Nice post, good pics, they certainly do make you think just how lucky most of us are now a days!

And what a great place the Internet is.

The freedom that most of are so use to!

very nice pics. some were brutal and emotional. especially #9. but i didn't get #2???

i think zeal needs to understand that there is a big world outside the four walls of his home. a world that is still living in turmoil and uncertainty and where poverty defines their basic needs.

If picture is worth 1000 words can we turn in two pics for a final term paper in literature?

#2 might be a couple in an embrace during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius that destroyed Pompeii. I'm probably wrong, but that's what it reminds me of.

during the Vietnam war

I believe that was a Buddhist monk that committed self-immolation in protest of the war...

I remember seeing it on the news soon after it happened.

is #10 a picture of MLK dead? looks as though its a picture taken from the coroner.

[Nicholas Knight]

ok just to let everyone know. Openly bashing a member like compton did will not be tolerated no matter who he was bashing. Sorry but those are the rules.



Also dont quote the first post please. It will just keep posting the pictures over and over.

You know he was arrested like 30 times during his life? Im pretty sure thats not from the coroners office...

i think number 12 is cool ^_^

[compton,Tx]

After reading what I posted, I now see that I was pretty heated about the topic at hand, and Zeal if I offended you then I truly am sorry. I just think that people respond on things that they don't even think twice about or actually absorb or really understand, so they just type the easiest thing to think of which is RACISM. I shall now watch my emotions and keep everything in good taste.
