Yeah, if you're gay.

I have no idea why you would make this comment but seeing suffering children is something that I don't want to see. I had never seen that picture before. I was not trying to be an ass, I was just making an observation

If you have never seen that picture before, then consider this post a favor as everyone for various reasons should have this image burned into their head.

I do not need to see pictures of suffering children to understand the atrocities commited during war.

It's not just "war", it's what happened in THAT war. I'm sure you know the doomed to repeat it saying...

I don't really think that's the point. It's a famous photograph. I don't need to see a 50 stars and 13 stripes to understand freedom, but I'm still glad I know what an American flag looks like.

I understand that it a famous photograph but I just would have liked some kind of warning that I was going to be looking at that type of scenery. That is all. I am not saying that this picture is wrong.

Actually mslif, that picture is even worse than it looks this size.

It's often seen with the girl cropped and enlarged, so that her napalm burns can be clearly seen.

The pic is credited as one of the major forces in galvanizing the American public against the Vietnam war.

In that respect, this girl's suffering averted the suffering of many other children.
