Here is the story of that picture and the subsequent events.

That's something...the guy who posted this on my fb page a couple of years ago said she had died. I couldn't watch it and just assumed it was true. He posted it to make a point to me about leaving the peace movement. And he is a prick so I guess I shouldn't be surprised he lied.

Who is to say what happened to her after she reached the feeding centre, I'd like to think she survived her ordeal. There is also a foreshortening aspect to that picture, it looks like the vulture is only a few metres away whereas in actual fact it was probably 15-20 metres away. Ther is a wiki on him as well.

I don't believe that.

well you're wrong. only a few hundred years ago it would be unlikely humans would know another human that lived farther than 20 miles of them. it's not how we evolved. that's why a tidal wave can pwn some country, and you might be nominally sad for a little bit, but then you go about your day laughing, having fun, and sleeping easy at night. Our brains can't handle extensive social networks.

I don't believe that.

I don't think its that we don't care at all. But it is certainly not something we feel as profoundly. You simply can't. With all the things that would twist your guts, you would be a basket case.

Well let's face it some are more evolved than others!

Photos like #36 make me sick to death of this country's war-mongering and glorification of violence.

Good thing we're the only ones that are like this; HUH!!

YEAH, we're the worst of the worst.

 

[FUCK THE POLICE]

we aren't monsters for not giving a fuck. it's impossible to truly care about 7 billion people. we are hardwired to care about our local communities.

If that were completely true, it wouldn't need to be said.
