Not political in the slightest, just remember these photograhs and events vividly that illustrated for me the hatred that existed and still does no doubt.

Shocking times indeed. But it wasn't just the loyalists and republicans who had the hatred that existed, here's some pics of brit ' peacekeeping ' on the nationalists of the six counties.Not political in the slightest, just remember these photograhs and events vividly that illustrated for me the hatred that existed and still does no doubt.

A BRILLANT FAKE OR A REVERRED AUTHENTIC RELIGIOUS OBJECT
In the 1980's this image shook the world after being proven a fake through carbon dating technology determining its date of origin to around 1390.
However the original Shroud investigator, Ray Rogers in 2005 acknowledged the radio carbon dating performed in 1988 was flawed since the sample used for dating may have been taken from a section damaged by fire and repaired in the 16th century.
To add to the controversy Vatican researchers have recently uncovered evidence that the Shroud had been kept and venerated by the Templar’s since the 1204 to the late 14th century.0 -

This baby wooly mammoth a female estimated at six months old when she fell into a river and died, has been almost perfectly preserved for 40,000 years.
I thought the wooly mammoth had been somehow brought back to life after being preserved for so long, then fell into a river and died after 6 months 0 -

I want to thank everyone for this thread, I've spent the last couple of days going through the photos and looking up things that I didn't know about, it has also been a history lesson
I've laughed, cried and been genuinely sickened and heartbroken at what, we as humans, can do to each other.
I don't think there was any need for those who criticised other's posts as being silly or irrelevant just because they were about football or Dustin the Turkey. It's a very subjective thing, just because it didn't have an effect on you doesn't mean it didn't have one on someone else, please be mature and open-minded enough to see that and don't add to the growing number of 'nah-sayers' and people who like to knock you down in Ireland...
Keep posting guys, by far one of the best things I've seen on boards or on the web for that matter

This isn't a photo that shook the world. But it is shocking in it's own right. So much wrong with it - it beggars belief, a lovely place to go sightseeing
photograph depicts a group of affluent-looking young Lebanese driving through a South Beirut neighbourhood devastated by Israeli bombings. The image was taken on 15 August 2006, the first day of the ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah when thousands of Lebanese started returning to their homes.

This news story did shock the world though. Incredible photo.
A supporter of slain former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto is overcome with grief after a suicide bomber set off his charge in an assassination attack that killed Bhutto and many of her supporters December 27, 2007 in Rawalpindi, Pakistan. The opposition leader’s death sparked days of nationwide rioting, left the country in a state of shock and cast serious doubts on the possibility of democracy in Pakistan.

All the obvious photos have been posted already on this thread - some of the more modern ones will become classics in time, I believe. This photo just shows how much that man lost - all his hopes and dreams in the murder of Benazir Bhutto..0 -
Kenji Nagai, the photographer killed in Burma holds his camera willing to continue taking pictures… of his killer.
This was Kenji Nagai, a 50-year-old photojournalist killed working for the Tokyo-based APF News who, The Guardian said, had years of experience covering danger zones.
Kenji was fatally wounded in Yangon on Thursday, and pictures smuggled out of the country showed him clutching a camera as he lay dying
There is a really good piece on the below link about the suppression of journalists reporting news to the world below.

The best kept secret of the Bush's war crimes is that thousands of children have been imprisoned, tortured, and otherwise denied rights under the Geneva Conventions and related international agreements.0 -

Pretty sure I have seen the video footage of that one. I will never forget arguing with a boards moderator (islamic forum) who maintained that stoning adulterous women to death was acceptable in his view. Animal behaviour.0 -
