Freedom of speech and what not.



But there is some merit to self restraint, IMO.




Dead kid pics are a bridge too far, again IMO.




(I know I don't have to click, but when it isn't spelled out in the title.  NSFW or Graphic is not sufficient.)

Too much. We can have dead kids but we can't have tits and vag? Not explicit shit but playboy level stuff.





This site has fucked up rules if you ask me. Show guys getting roasted alive on a swing set, a dead kid on a beach (which really fucked me up today), and any number of Brazilian robbery films but a female body? Insta-ban or maybe a warning and timeout if you're lucky.

Someone psoted a thread that contained a picture of a dead kid, without a warning.

He fixed the thread.

I agree with the op, kind of

Just put a warning in the title

Drowned refugee/migrant.  Probably two or three.  Has been the feature of at least two threads.




I think you can talk about it without the pic.  It (the pic) doesn't lend moral weight to either side of the issue.




I think, no matter what our positions are, that we can all stipulate that a dead 3 year old is a bad thing.

it really does not matter.

there are members here who are more concerned with being able to see and post scantily clad women and will whine how they are unable to see scantily clad women in GD.  apparently to ignorant to know about this internet thing where they can find websites with nothing but scantily clad women.  but it has to be in GD so it can be "fair"


I for one don't want to see pictures of dead children.  I clicked on the link not really paying attention to what it was and wished I had not.

I agree with you 100%



Yes there are places on the Internet to see necked women, I get that.

I don't get why that is not ok here but stuff like you mentioned is.

That pic really messed me up too. Your not the only one.

People following the situation with the migrants know this is happening.  A photo of one (of hundreds) dead shouldn't affect the discussion.

I'm just saying if you're going to let dead kids slide as being acceptable, then anything should really be acceptable.

As an aside, once the discussion takes place in front of a dead kid pic as the backdrop, the discussion is over and it is two groups of monkeys flinging feces.







It does not add to the intellectual weight any any proposition in controversy.

But isn't all this "news" or "documentation" of an event/phenomenon?  I've seen plenty of dead baby pics dealing with the Holocaust, kids burning from napalm, infant shot in a DC drive-by; should these be censored and stricken from memory?  Where do you draw the line?  Context?

We talk about SHTF and bug-out plans and the like. I cannot imagine the terror at home that would necessitate such a risky evacuation.

Stricken implies some form of intervention from a rule making authority.
