In a world where Survivor topics flood the Other Discussion In English part of the forum [instead of spam :x ], I give you this interesting website with lots of pics that some of you might have already seen, or probably will find fascinating.

http://www.worldpressphoto.com/

If you want, choose ur pic and tell us the year. [Can't post it here, since is...well, you try.]

1963. Incredible how a man can do such thing, without moving, without crying out of pain...wow.

:)

Yah, I also dislike these Survivor topics. They really have nothing to do with Stratovarius Discussion or Other Discussion In English. :?

But they are very instructive about people's tastes! :D

Moreover, there is already a Stratovarius part on this forum! If some people dislike Survivors games, so they have simply to ignore them! :wink:

I have nothing against survivors, I just can't understand their fascination. Who gives a damn which album wins?

The only thing that pisses me off is that all the (IMO) interesting topics are not so active. :)

I don't have a problem with those games in general. But they are Spam. And there is a section for spam. They belong there.

Wait until Bush makes a move on Iran(maybe), or closer to the 2008 election, then you'll see some action! :D Or another stock market dive!

Oh yeah, the topic. I like photos and visual art in general. I studied art history for... well, only few months hehe.

I'll take a look at the site when I have more time.

This pic made a shocking impression on me, even as a little girl. A South Vietnamese policeman arrests a Viet Cong&proceeds to blow his brains out on a street corner in front of everyone.
War is Hell.

These photos are sad and many of them very iconic. 1980 is crushing, the viewer is speard from seeing the full horror.
