Quoting avaloncraven: Quoting AEnigmamagnadea:
I neither believe in "god" nor believe that posting voyeuristic photographs of anyone with severe disability so we can all say "ahhh poor thing" serves any purpose. |
İ think this is between you and "God" if you belive Him or not...
And the purpose of picture is not make anybody feel anything...purpose is sharing my feeling...
troubles makes families stronger, keep love burning..if they are family really...but if not, again troubles stop people from living in a lie...
And also to say "ah poor thing" serve a pupose...reminding you, you have a heart and compassion for others...science even not sucseed explain physical evolution, how far emotions 
everything serve a purpuse dear..you see it or not... |
I understand what you are saying..and I do believe for whatever crazy purpose, there is one.

Some were justified and some were questionablie..I agree.
However, if it wasn't for Albert Einstein and Oppenheimer Europe would be speaking German and Asia would be dominated by Japan. It's never popular too make difficult decisions.

A little known historic fact about Japan/US relations is this fact:
Admiral Perry's Black Ships
First visit, 1852-1853
In 1852, Perry embarked from Norfolk, Virginia for Japan, in command of a squadron in search of a Japanese trade treaty. Aboard a black-hulled steam frigate, he ported Mississippi, Plymouth, Saratoga, and Susquehanna at Uraga Harbor near Edo (modern Tokyo bay) on July 8, 1853. His actions at this crucial juncture were informed by a careful study of Japan's previous contacts with Western ships and what could be known about the Japanese hierarchical culture. He was met by representatives of the Tokugawa Shogunate who told him to proceed to Nagasaki, where there was limited trade with the Netherlands and which was the only Japanese port open to foreigners at that time (see Sakoku). Perry refused to leave and demanded permission to present a letter from President Millard Fillmore, threatening force if he was denied. The Japanese military forces could not resist Perry's modern weaponry; the 'Black Ships' would then become, in Japan, a threatening symbol of Western technology.
The Japanese government let Perry come ashore to avoid a naval bombardment. Perry landed at Kurihama (in modern-day Yokosuka) on July 14, 1853 presented the letter to delegates present, and left for the Chinese coast, promising to return for a reply.

Not exactly the type of action that plants love in the hearts of citizens of another country. Why we can't be more diplomatic?

İSKOÇ GELİNİN ARNAVUT İNADI
İmam nikahlı eşinden 5 kızı bulunan 39 yaşındaki garson, 2 yıl önce Didim'de tanışıp evlendiği İskoç May Cook'tan boşanmak istiyor ama başaramıyor. Hikayenin gerisini ondan dinleyelim:'May çok genç görünüyordu, bana bir erkek evlat verebileceğini düşÃ¼ndüm. Yaşını benden gizledi, 65 yaşında olduğunu evlendikten 6 ay sonra öğrendim. Boşanmak istedim fakat kendisini ikna edemedim. Aksine dinimi değiştirip kendisiyle İskoçya'ya gitmemi istedi. ‘Benim kölem olacaksın’ diyordu...'
