What's up with all these graphic images ?

Do you think these images prove your point beyond doubt? Or do they simply add to the shock factor ? You will find plenty of videos and images on the internet that will "convince" you just how bad the Americans and Israelis are. I can also point you to Jihadist videos of beheadings and images of torture that will convince you otherwise. The person who posts the most graphic and revolting pics wins.

Americans just helped to spark the violence in Iraq, that's all they have achieved with their campaign against WMD in Iraq & Sadam Husein.

It's too pity, because Russia just made the same mistake in Chechnya several years ago. I guess everybody can learn only on their own mistakes.

Yes. As we say down here, what the eyes don't see, the heart doesn't feel. However, once the eyes see... your heart is shaken

Either we must allow shocking videos and images to be posted or neither. Discriminatory on the part of videos, if you tolerate posting of such pics . Videos pack more shock power and make for more effective emotional weapons.

I know, I forgot the rules. I'm sorry. Just ban my account I deserve it.

I admit I'm a bit less strict than I should on that matter, but it's being a bit hard to me to check everything, and this thread seemed okay Q5's pictures of beheaded girls was simply uncalled for.

Here's the deal - if you're going to post graphic images of any kind, do not use the [img] tag and warn about its nsfwiness.

hmmm...wonder which is more graphic?

I could easily find pictures of blown up Israelis, but that's just disrespectful and disgusting. Don't really see much wrong with the image I posted.

Doesn't mean much without some kind of description of the events, means even less than when you've got no opinion on them aside from just posting the picture, so I simply don't comment on these kinds of things much the same way I don't bother commenting on people who delight in throwing up essays and adding 1-2 sentences after it.

I mean most of you would get the big F if it was in school and you where asked to comment on a piece of text or a photo without backing it up with so much as a paragraph of text.

Nah, that pic was just a representative of the "other side". There wasn't much graphic stuff posted in the threads which showed the extremists in bad light. The pic is not graphic, but certainly disturbing.

It's like how a bad movie uses strings (violins, etc) to play with and invoke your emotions, instead of relying on a well told story.
