Heartbreaking Image


There’s plenty others on here that won’t look at what you’ve linked not just me.

I’ve just said what I think about it.
What does it say about me?
I don’t want to look at suffering and think you’re a bit of a dick for wanting others to, that’s fine by me.
People have a choice, mate.
I wish that I wouldn’t have looked at the photos but the OP did give a warning.

Plus I want to be aware of what’s happening in the world.

Having the choice is not my point.
You can easily go looking at what is going on in the world without it being plastered all over social media.

You can easily look up what biscuits Tony Mowbray's eating in his latest press conference without coming on here anarl.
 
This photograph and others like it is a revelation, it has called or attention to what is happening . it can redefine our opinions and might just be the thing that sparks change, great or small and make us ask what is happening here? Do others feel the same way about the photograph of the young girl in Vietnam or that one about a father hugging his dying son that changed how people thought about HIV and AIDS. This photo ain't pretty, but I suppose if we are only looking at it for some sort of ghoulish pleasure shame on us, but if it makes us think about what is happening and what might be done to make this better, then we should be looking at photos like this.

One of my immediate thoughts (after pity, disgust etc.) was that war mongering leaders should take a look at the human cost of years of conflict and billions of dollars spent.

Therein lies the problem. They know the cost, they just do not care. Human Beings are nothing to them. Nothing. The only 2 things that matter to them is £$£$ and power.

We as individuals can look at these photos (or not look) and be moved / disgusted / appalled but that won't change anything. The people who can do something simply don't care.

What first intrigued me when seeing the picture on the other link, was how did this come to be in Afghanistan? How can there be so many people, coming together in squalid conditions, taking and addicted to heroin. Just putting aside the fact this is a war torn country living under the Taliban, how the frig are they getting their hands on smack whilst obviously living in abject poverty. Turns out Afghanistan produces 90% of the world's opium - I had absolutely nee idea about that.

Was common place during the Afghan war the military forces would pay the locals for thier crop and then burn it so the Taliban didn't get thier hands on it.
 
I'm fully in the school of thought of I don't need to see Isis behead people to know its horrendous.
I've opened these photos and it's far from pleasant but I not disturbed or that surprised by it .
There's has to situations like this happening all over the globe
People in desperate situations we cannot even comprehend .
It’s not, that’s exactly how I feel about what you’ve done.
Of course you don’t want people to laugh at it, however you don’t care if they do look at it and feel exactly how you did which was my point.

Why not go the whole hog and ask them to like and share?
We don't have to open the link
Like you can turn the children in need videos off etc
That's the same to me , the people make those films know it will disturb ,upset, provoke people
It's information sharing
We can't just share clips of people's funny fails

I’d rather people didn’t do that either on here to be honest.

Although the last video I saw was someone getting their head stamped on, the joys.

The golden crescent,heroin and opium are cheap,I saw people taking heroin openly on waste ground in Pakistan (part of the narco route)30+ years ago.
