Just wanted to post some pictures of events throughout our history that are extremely powerful and moving to me. Everyones welcome to contribute, so go ahead and open up your documents and start looking I'll start with some of mine: I honestly dont think words can begin to describe this Buddhist monk who set himself on fire in protest of anti-buddhist policies, October 5th 1963 You've all seen it before Hindenburg Tsunami flood in 2005 Space shuttle Columbia disaster Nagasaki And how could you forget? And finally, these are two pictures that I found on another forum, that gave me the inspiration to make this thread. The kid who posted them said this: "Right so these are two pictures that choke me up whenever I see them. This is my friend Steve, saying bye to his brother, who's off to Iraq. And this is my same friend months later, at his brother's funeral. Saying bye for the last time. These pictures probrably won't have the same effect on you guys that they do on me, but they are still very powerful." The whole thing just choked me up... Anyway, obviously I've only scratched the surface, show me what you have . I'll be posting more later
Holy Shit, this is more than what I signed up for when I came in. I gotta say though, those last two are deep. But I just feel like its not right that your posting them on the internet. I don't know, maybe it's just me.
I personally asked him if it was ok. Thanks for the concern though... And I couldn't help it, I'm posting more in a bit here
This picture is just mind boggling, and if you dont know why, watch this. <object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/mcBV-cXVWFw&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/mcBV-cXVWFw&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>
Some more pictures Katrina Separation wall being built in Palestine, Bansky art Columbine.. French and American testing of A-bombs in Mid-Pacific I'm pretty sure Martin Luther King John F. Kennedy, a picture taken sometime during the Cuban Missle Crisis I'm pretty sure. I thought it truly showed the stress he was under during his presidency, and how lonely the job can be. A black man that was lynched by the KKK... More of 9/11 Separation between whites and blacks Not sure where or when it was taken, but it's a very interesting picture Stalingrad More of the Tsunami Not sure of the origin of this picture either, looks like a destroyer under attack WWI Vietnam..? A very cool picture A lady crying as she is forced to hail Hitler And JollyRoger I thought you might find this interesting Thats all for now... I'm out, gonna try and get some sleep
Gotchya. Irish weren't looked at as truley "white" I guess... Oh well, I'm out for the night... seriously..
I don't know why, I found the black dude being lynched pretty fucked up. The natural disaster ones don't phase me that much. Colombine and crying soldier are deffinatly touching aswell. I like this thread
Ok almost the last of it... I was kinda hoping other people had pictures to share Vietcong being executed by Vietnamese General More 9/11 Vietnam D day War in Iraq Workers that were building the Empire State Building eating lunch Not sure of the origin of this picture, looks pretty recent
