This Picture Tells A Story

[macb]

THis picture tells a Story: I post this fopr you guys that are in this particular Country but you may have partners waiting you in Thailand:

I will understand if it gets Moderated out

If you have loved ones waiting you here or anywhere: Your in there thoughts:

Why isn't this all over the news? If he had done something wrong, it surely would be!

[Gary A]

It's just one of the many shortcomings of our world today. Kind acts and good people are NOT newsworthy.

[Jai Dee]

It is a touching story and a great photo... as Gary says, not often you get to hear good news.

However, not Thailand-related so I'll move this out of General into the Pub section.

[Jet Gorgon]

Beg to differ, JaiDee. Think this should be in family, not pubs and entertainment...

I don't know if it is newsworth when one country rape another, killing 100s of thousand inocent people, one child also lost their parents due to that and than there is one nice guy who takes care of it.

Newsworth would be if relatives of every inocent dead would get 1 Mill USD compensation from USA

So it's okay to kill people as long as you pay off the relatives? Curious ethics.

The guy is probably a decent guy. I'm sure you could find evil people cuddling babies as well. Pictures don't tell a thousand words as they say but we should hope the the good we see is real.

Anyway, there are probably foul and decent people on both sides of the fighting in Iraq.One thing is for sure, if the war had never happened the girl probably wouldn't have lost her parents or have been shot in the head. I believe a lot is owed to the innocent victims of the war. I also believe that politicians should not be allowed to benefit from actions like this. George Bush and some other probably should go to jail for creating the pain and suffering they have. They'll retire and live comfortable with their fat pensions and profitable investments while others will live with pain for the rest of their lives.

Presidents and Prime ministers should accept menial pensions equal to that of the average citizen from their countries once they leave office, be outlawed from investing any money anywhere once they take office and after they leave, be forbidden from taking paid positions after leaving office, and lots more.

What a nice picture to come out of a horiffic "war". I commend the guy. He's doing something outside of his obligations to help another human being achieve some form of comfort. The world should have more people like that.

Yes they were nice hehehehe

But the pic on this Topic makes you think it was sent to me by my now cousin as he has married into the family and is American, I brought out my softer side

I was naughty boy posting the other pics;

But I openly apologise to the Moderating team who do a great job. I am normally a good boy in Public !!!!

It's good to see a good deed, but hundreds of thousands of orphans in Iraq also deserve to be treated well after the horrific carnage they have witnessed and been subjected to.

There is no justification for killing innocent civilians.
