When I first saw this photoI was tormented by it for quite a while. It's the single
fucking saddest thing I've ever seen. Kudos for finding
the comedy in it.
Earlier on I laughed at the Muppets/Kim Phuc pic.
Frankly I feel shit that I did since the line between
that and this is so muddy, and it's getting too easy to
make light of this or any horror.
How do you gauge acceptibility? Is it a matter of time, or
is it how close to the reality of it? Now I'm thinking of how
the victims of Pompeii died in each other's arms, and
feeling bad about that.

Your gut tells youI had to log off last night as I found some of the posts a bit too upsetting.
If this carries on I may have to avoid B3ta until next Wednesday night.

That's probably for the best, avoiding the internetI dont see why theres a line for some things and not for others, the whole of this compo is going to be debatable, but I spose that's what the this place is for, and shit

It's not worth debating as it's a personal thing, an opinion, a feeling. We all differ.

Steps singing tragedy would be greatWe could to the arm movements and then maybe go onto "one for sorrow" and do the moves for that too.
