  • Just wondering, what two didn't you like?

    I believe #15 was staged with the aid of photoshop or comparable tool.

    Fake. Never happened. Doesn't the couple look staged when you think about it.

    While I don't think it was staged, I just don't see a couple of them being more powerful than these 2 from ww2

  • I don't think the couple was fake, staged maybe, not fake. I think it says something, the whole make love not war argeument.

  • Pictures have the ability to stir many different emotions.....for everyone. Nice collection.

  • After a little thought, some others that could have been added.

    Berlin Wall being knocked down

  • For the record:

    I deleted a number of posts under this thread. All pertained to my post that one of the pictures was fake, staged, or whatever.

    I believe the posts I deleted - and more than a couple were mine - served no purpose other than to detract from an, otherwise, excellent and evolving series of pictures.

    Great stuff!

  • Obviously everyone has different opinions on what pictures are the most important. Mine are.

  • Woody, you just had to ruin a good thing.

    Really?

    I should say never forget. I have a playstation, clearly we've forgiven each other, but yes. I don't forgive their wartime atrocities any more than they've forgiven the atomic bombing, in that I choose my side and stand by it, liberal college boy who's never served and most likely never even been in a fight. Yes. Ever heard of the bataan death march? The rape of nanking? We don't forgive the nazis for the death camps do we?

  • No doubt there have been lot's of others.
