The first picture is terribly emotional. How heartless of the photographer to wait for hours he could have used in saving that childs life all in the name of a spectacular picture. I hope he had a painful suicide cos he deserved it. |

Picture 3,the one of the dying soldier in the hands of a priest was moving.... Picture 5 is beyond sad. What kind of person keeps a giraffe and polar bear in front of wallpapers? Picture 9,about the Rwandan genocide is a reminder of what could happen when we allow hate fester in our society. Secession agitators,take note. Picture 14, Independence square,Kiev. I just opened my mouth wide agape on seeing this one. No one who has seen war first hand ever prays for it. I pray for Ukraine,but more so,I pray for my dear Nigeria,that we never ever see war again....... 1 Like |

Touching but is this the right section to post this stuff? |
Re: 22 Photos That Shook The World by samsard(m): 3:24pm On Dec 06, 2015 |
Touching pictures. The world has been through so much mostly coz of man's inhumanity to man, other creatures and his environment. Yet here we are in a country where certain individuals are spreading hatred and beating the drums of war. |
