No, it was the Yugoslav war, that caused the break up of Yugoslavia into the independent countries of Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina. My parents are both from Slovenia so i find anything related to this war incredibly interesting,

Also ill post more of my 9/11 experience in a bit.

Just browsed through all the pages and I got to say that some pictures are outstanding!
The pictures of the jumpers made me cringe though.

Don't really want to bring more death and destruction into this thread, but since today is the memorial for the Armenian Genocide, I feel that it is necessary.

so it's human nature to be stupid and bigoted? yeah i don't really care, we aren't cavemen, we're capable of overcoming that so its not an excuse

This thread pretty much ruined my day. I can take a lot, it's just those pictures of starving and dead kids that really get to me.

I feel sick.

it's human nature to fear those that are different from yourself and those you are constantly around
skin color just happens to be one of the many ways people can be different
you can't just "overcome" primal instinct
you can suppress it, but you can't overcome it without evolving past it

I sometimes wonder how police officers can do their job when it's to prevent their own country people from making change for the good.

If it weren't for them the city would be trashed, businesses would be looted and entire streets vandalised and damaged, cars too. They are not there to stop change they are just there to ensure that at the end of the day there's still a city left to live in and the law is obeyed.

On this day in 1849, a mob of angry English Canadians burned down the Parliament Building in Montreal in response to the signing into law of the Rebellion Losses Bill, which sought to compensate French Canadians who had lost their homes and businesses during the Revolt of 1837.

April 25, 1974. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnation_Revolution

The day Portuguese military rose up against the dictatorship present in portugal since the 20's. (There were no deaths in this peaceful coup d'etat)

It was called the Revolution of the Carnations "Revolução dos Cravos".


















And finally the musics that launched the coup d'etat on the radio:

First:

Second:

One of the most important figures in the revolutionary movement(music):
Zeca Afonso: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeca_Afonso

Death came to the street a day like this
In that nameless place for any purpose

A crimson drop falls on the sidewalk
And a river of blood pours out of an open chest

The wind that occurs in the stalks of the sugar canes
And the scythe of a reaper of Portugal

And the sound of the anvil like a clarion from the sky
They go everywhere telling the painter died

Your blood, Painter, another death equally claimed
Only an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth is worth

To the murderous law, To the death that killed you
Your body belongs to the earth that once you embraced

Here we say a tooth for a tooth
Because the one who laughs at the end is the one who laughs the best (poor translation here)

At the bend of the road there are holes made ​​on the ground
And in each and every one of them the roses of a nation shall rise


And Priest Fanhais(music) A Portuguese priest that was actively against the regime and openly spoke about it in his sermons:

We see, hear and read
We can not ignore
We see, hear and read
We can not ignore

We see, hear and read
Reports of hunger
The path of injustice
The language of terror

The Hiroshima bomb
Shame on us all
Reduced to ashes
The flesh of children

D'Africa and Vietnam
Go up the lamentation
People destroyed
People torn

Nothing can erase
The concert of screams
Our time is
sin organized


And that is all.

Today is a very happy day here in Portugal.

Guerrillero Heroico (English: "Heroic Guerrilla Fighter") is an iconic photo of Marxist revolutionary Che Guevara wearing his black beret taken by Alberto Korda. It was taken on March 5, 1960, in Havana, Cuba, at a memorial service for victims of the La Coubre explosion and by the end of the 1960s turned the charismatic and controversial leader into a cultural icon. Korda has said that at the moment he shot the picture, he was drawn to Guevara's facial expression, which showed "absolute implacability" as well as anger and pain. Years later, Korda would say that the photo showed Che's firm and stoic character. Guevara was 31 at the time the photo was taken.

I just know I will be showered in dumb ratings, but I have never exactly known the full story behind the image. Anybody care to explain please?

The man on the left is a South Vietnamese officer in either the military or the city police. The man being shot is Viet Cong. before this picture was taken, the man on the right and other VC rounded up civilians and began exterminating them into a mass grave they dug. The soldiers here caught him and the man on the left executed the VC guerilla.
