Were you ever moved to action by powerful imagery?

I just prefer the term Ancestors to relatives when talking about people you're related to who died over almost two centuries ago .

It's neither here nor there. I myself just refer to all of them as relatives, mainly because I don't care and I can't spell Ancestors.

This really isn't the kind of place to really discuss it in detail but let's say, in general terms I was part of NATO JTF attached to UNMIK in Kosovo.

As for my job now...let's just say I put broken things back together.

I was always interested in such a job, to be honest. Even worked in a pathology as a trainee/unskilled assisstant (I don't even know if there's a correct English word for what I was doing) for a weekend.

Once when some mal-trolls decided to go on a Forum I used to be a part of I was forced to keep my stomach in check as the image they had posted was one of a dead, probably 7-9 year old, child who's head was either decapitated or blown apart. There was no censor to it at all.

That's something you see every day if you just visit certain forums. Be glad that we have good mods and admins on NS, or we'll have the same stuff all over here as well, I bet.

Why would anyone want to get up off the comfy couch is beyond me.

Can't masturbate on the couch, might scuff the leather.

This is horrible

I'm more moved by speech or the written word than actual images. Here's an example of one of the most important passages to me that I've read.

Exactly, what is horrible? Pictures of dead people, what they represent, or the fact that many people aren't moved to action by pictures?

Ok that's a good reason to move

Once or twice, yes. The last time was photos regarding high kill shelters in the state I live in.

You can't get motivated from images on the Internet. It's a tangled web of popups and shock images. I have never used it, but a friend of mine went completely mad trying to create an email account.

You sir win points for your paraphrasing.

Yeah, all the time. Comics, movies, animation, art pieces, photos.
I think everyone has laughed, teared up, gotten pissed, felt sick or something to one of those at least once, right?
