Just had a gander on red cafe site to see what they thought of our draw yesterday, and they have got a decent thread titled photo's that shook the world, the last photograph on the first post has just freaked me out I have never seen it before, a truly horrible picture, the photographer commited suicide after taking the pic. Sorry if it's on the wrong board admin but I did intend posting about footy. www.redcafe.net/f8/photos-shook-world-222981/

Concerning the last photo
Capitalism in the extreme .Greed and money ..Very very sad indeed people on here will say that they are shocked but what will they do about it .FUCK ALL. Still pay into their pensions etc which exploit and contribute to these horrific conditions which people live in.. ANARCHY AND FREEDOM IS WHAT I WANT
Crass Major General Despair lyrics
We're looking for a better world, but what do we see? Just hatred, poverty, aggression, misery. So much money spent on war When three quarters of the world is so helplessly poor. Major General Despair sits at his desk, Planning a new mode of attack, He's quite unconcerned about chance or risk, The Major General's a hard nut to crack. Oh yes, he designs a cruise missile, Tactically sound, operationally O.K., While the starving crawl onto the deathpile, They can't avoid their fate another day. Attack on the mind, but he calls it defence, But I ask you again who's it for? Do the starving millions who don't stand a chance Hope to benefit by his stupid war? Babies crippled with hunger before they could walk, Mothers with dry breasts cry dry tears, And meanwhile Major General Despair gives a talk On increasing the war budget over the years. How can they do it, these men of steel, How can they plot destruction, pain? Is it the only way thatthey can feel, By killing again and again? Is it some part of themselves that has died That permits them to plan as they do? Or is it us that is dead, do we simply hide From the responsibility to stop what they do? There's so many of us, yet we let them have their way, At this moment they're plotting and planning. We've got to rise up to take their power away, To save the world that they're ruining. They're destroying the world with their maggot-filled heads, Death, pain and mutilation, They've got the responsibility of millions of dead. Yet they're still bent on destruction. The generals and politicians who advocate war should be made to wade in the truth of it, They should spend sleepless nights shivering with fear and by day time should crawl in the deathpit. They'll find the truth of what they've done there, Festering corpses they and their kind made, Eyeless skulls that endlessly stare Having seen the truth of military trade. The earth was our home, the wind and the air, The blue sky, the grass and the trees, But these masters of war, what do they care? Only sentiments, these. It's our world but through violence they took it away, Took dignity, happiness, pride. They took all the colours and changed them to grey With the bodies of millions that died. They destroy real meaning through their stupid games, Make life a trial of fear. They destroy what values we have with their aims, Make us feel it's wrong if we care. Well, we do care, it's our home, they've been at it too long, If it's a fight they want, it's beginning. Throughout history, we've been expected to sing their tired song But now it's our turn to lead the singing... Fight war, not wars, Make peace, not war. Fight war, not wars, We know you've heard it before. Fight war, not wars, Make peace, not war. Fight war, not wars, Make peace, not war. Fight war, not wars, Make love, not war. Fight war, not wars, Make love, not war. 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 We don't want your fucking war. 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 We don't want your fucking war. 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 We don't want your fucking war.

Some bleak and some defining pics as well, just trawled through every page and learned a little more as well. It's a good thread to be fair. That vulture pic will stay with me for ever though.

Its hard to imagine what a human being is capable of doing sometimes. As a father I could cry at some of those images. It shouldn't happen.

It shouldn't happen. totally agree, i cant get the one with the vulture out of my head, what if the camera man hadnt have been there, how many times does it happen i used to be very narrow minded about pictures like those, but it looks as if i have grown up literally over night

It's a very decent thread, I read through it all last night...I don't know what it was but I had to go through every page after checking the first, there's some repeats but it's worth a look for the older people. Some of it is a little too graphic for younger children so I hope not too many have seen this thread.
It's strange as it's puts quite a few things into perspective from things I saw when I was a kid but never understood. Be warmed, I was totally depressed after getting through the 17 pages, and I'm still on a downer, some truly horrific acts that I just can't comprehend, how some of these shots were taken I've never know...no wonder the guy who took the picture of the African kid topped himself (Am I right in thinking this was Kevin Carter? The Manics had that song and it was about a South African photographer who killed himself but no one mentioned it in the thread)
Anyway, it's certainly worth a look, just it'll affect you a lot.

The things that happen like these actually quite upset me. Wasn't expecting that at all. The pictures made me feel physically sick. The girl in the window story too!

Its very educational I thought. Most of the stuff I knew nothing about and I love my history and my world events and knowing stuff like that so its educated me enormously. I've looked at every photo and searched for the background story or more info.
Those decapitated heads in Indonesia are sickening. And the story about the little girl above just shows what some people can stoop too. Its such ashame that a child had to put through that.

Yes Kevin Carter was the photographer, you're right Bayern it is a very educational thread I've learnt a hell of a lot just by looking at and reading some of the stories behind the pics.
how people can do some of the stuff they do to other people is beyond comprehension, and the Japanese pics and story is a shame on their nation (we're no angels I know).

I've never seen a picture of BabyP either (by design rather than ignorance). How the fuck could anyone harm such a young, innocent person? He should be playing about like I did as a little yet 3 monsterous things murdered the poor little mite. Sickening.

Jeez, that's definitely a hard-hitting thread and I only got 5 pages through. The Princess Diana pic is something I've never seen before and, frankly, I wish I hadn't. Horrible.
I'm sitting here shocked. As somebody said, it's impossible to comprehend some of the things that have gone on in the world.
