I am glad everything is just peachy in your world TallMike. For myself, I just can't believe that we can accept that these horrific acts are the 'norm' and I believe we should protect those who are directly or even indirectly affected by them whenever we can. It is also quite a new thing that these atrocities can be broadcast globally virtually instantaneously (by the perpetrator in this instance) - with no form of censorship or editorial interference or commentary. Surely we should strive to make things better for the future and not accept this new form of atrocity as the new normal?

HK you could access such material through libraries as you have done for ages. Surely you can see how the distribution needs to be controlled. Even today, those researching Hitler and the Nazis have access to their original indoctrinate propaganda, but you can't possibly agree that this sort of racism should be allowed to be freely shared and distributed.

Stewart, I couldn't agree more.

Phil, what I'm talking about is people, like myself, grouping together, sharing & disseminating information that has affected them personally to a very high degree. (You cannot get this kind of interaction or movement from a visit to the library.) I am talking about openly exposing the atrocities of war, certainly not talking about promoting racism of any kind. Quite the opposite, in fact. I strongly believe that too many people permanently have their heads in the sand, are completely unaware of what 'war' means, so they go ahead and continue to fund defense heavily at the cost of not funding things that would make society better. I have paid an enormous price to hold these views, but those are the facts. And these facts are nowhere near well enough known, as we, a planet-wide civilization, keep making the same mistakes over & over. People need to vividly see how horrible war is. Everyone should experience some of the pain, in order to develop more empathy for every little guy who suffers from the decisions made by leaders who have nothing to lose. We need to figure out how to stop the war machine.

Not to butt in, but my my main concern with having violent imagery available on Facebook is that it may not have the intended effect. For some people, I am sure it will move them to realize how horrible war is. For others, it may normalize war and cement their belief that war is an inevitable part of the human experience. So you also have to consider the effect this imagery may have on the perpetuation of war.

EZ. 12.

Stewart, you are dodging the points I made and are instead pretending that I said everything in my world is just peachy. I didn't say that and you know it.

Keep shouting into the wind - nobody's listening to you now. At least I'm not. There's no point.

History proves that war is a part of the human experience.
