In honor of... CC

1.) I never said that anyone was wrong, I said that it is someones opinion on whether they think it is right or wrong and that this isn't the place for an ethical debate.

See the bold. Telling someone that this isn't the place for an ethical debate is essentially telling them that you think that their approach for ethical debate is wrong. Semantics aside, you are complaining about other people complaining. Like I said, I'm not offended by the picture, but I find it perfectly acceptable that there are people who do find it offensive.


2.) People can say whatever they like if its relevant to the thread, the OP was asking for C&C on the outcome of the images, if someone had done what you said posted a picture of a confederate flag and the noose, sure I may personally believe its inappropriate but I wouldn't start accusing the OP of what I personally believe.

C&C = Comments and Critique. If there is something in the picture that a viewer finds offensive, that usually would fall under the comment aspect. After all, a pictures intent is to invoke emotion or tell a story. The OP has achieved one, just not the emotion she was going for.
 
Here's my two cents....I recall some strong reactions to a poster who I felt was defiling his kid in a vidoe...He disagreed. I recall a poster who was abused for posting a photo of his kill, the guy was murdered and never came back. And here we have a photo of a person in a more complicated setting that mixes Military Uniforms and American Flags. The technaical aspects of the photos are quite strong and positive, the reactions are again, quite personal and negative; and perhaps not entirely objective as to the technical aspects of the photos.

I agree with you, I personally find the picture fine and understand that people could be offended, I was just trying to put the point out that maybe the OP was after more of a response in the actual picture taking area. I do understand that a picture is to tell a story or invoke emotions, so you are correct in that an ethical debate is related. My apologies.
 
You guys are so cute......
 
Don't get carried away...I am the cute one. He is certainly not....
 
I told you last night not to flatter yourself. So... times two.

Sorry, I couldn't understand you while you were in your alcohol fueled babbling.

Don't be an idiot your entire life...those sorts of 'accusations' will prove problematic if you decide for the trifecta.

Can't take the heat? GTFO of the kitchen georgiegirl.

When you point your finger, 3 point back at you. You have a strong case of hypocrisy.

Looks like I struck a nerve with the alcohol joke lol. :lol:
