No. It sounds like one of the rather lamentable and regular complaints by the simple-minded that it is not possible for two people to post and agree without one being a 'sock'. I recall a person on another site pretty much saying that all of the conservative posters were the same person. It gets a bit old after a while.

And apparently violent and explicit off-topic photos are of huge value on a political forum because...

(this is where you add some comments or even the rare original thought...)

When they post and agree AND say exactly the same things AND one appears just as the other disappears THEN the sock stench is unmistakable.

Got banned eh? Sucks to be you. Grin

Oh.. and I think Death is trying to make a point in his inimitable fashion. Something along the lines of the USA propping up their economy and their self-image by declaring war on other countries. I think that's a fair position to put in a political forum, although personally I might choose to raise it in a different way.

if death wishes to raise a point he might do better to do a little more than vomit on the keyboard.

And pansi just said I had 14 'socks' so the credibility of your argument is diminishing rapidly.

Do you support those photos then?

A. I'm not responsible for what pansi says. Roll Eyes

B. I support Death's right to say what he wants, however he wants to say it. Preferably within the rules of this place.

C. This is the feedback forum. You should take chatter like this to the Chat forum.

What do people think of the use of graphic images of war, execution etc as part of political debate?

I have no objection to it. If people wish to bring up certain topics I don't think they should complain when things get a little graphic. A picture tells a thousand words and all that. If your referring to Avraams objections, I find him much more offfensive than any photo you could put up.Graphic images are a reality in many parts of the world. We are lucky, we only have to see photos, some people have to live with these images embedded into their brains after seeing their loved ones blown apart.

I do not agree with people using images of dead and mutilated bodies, to support their personal crusades.
It too easily degenerates into a propaganda war of who can provide the more horrific imagery.

I do understand how in some, rare, circumstances, an image may add to a discussion, but not the images used merely for shock value, meant to imply that one side of a conflict are monsters, which is usually the case when such images have been posted on this forum.

If there are extreme graphic images, which members believe they need to share, then they should provide a link to them, with an appropriate warning about the graphic nature of the content.

I would not want my kids to walk in and see those images on my screen, I did not wish to see them myself, and the foolish belief of the person that posted them which was that they would inspire people to think differently about the palestinian conflict, was incredibly naive, at best.

Yes and thank you Mozzaok for your comment.

I agree. AND I fail to see the position of the person who posted that last photo, of a man who'd obviously been a victim of explosives, losing lower legs , life etc, ....what is that ?

Israel/Palestine War? Cos it is... a filthy guerilla war.

But thats by the bye..
Is an awful picture with no apparent reason for display than to 'shock'.... but lets face it... in today's world,, WHO is Right?

No body .....
No thanks
Sad
