    Although many photos posted so far have no doubt shocked and even changed the world, the sad fact is that the events surrounding this photo were probably spoken about more that any of the others ..

    I think these photos are hard to look at. Although I have had friends and loved ones die from cancer, it is still shocking to see what it does to people.

    I would have expected a smaller entry point rather than the size it produced but then I'm no ballistics expert. Wonder is it due to the apples insides just bursting out through the hole that was made for them :confused:
    Great photo though!

    I'm guessing that the picture was taken at the 1936 Olympic Games, which were held in Nazi Germany.

    Israeli children sign their missiles ‘with love’

    A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer

    These guys actually trained for the olympics purely for the opportunity to give the black power salute. They had their medals confiscated. These are the same guys last year:

    Funny I have heard them say it was pretty much spur of the moment stuff, evidenced by the fact they only had one pair of gloves so had to take one each and give the salute with opposite arms..

    Having the wink gives a totally different message, maybe you should elaborate on the message and remove the wink. I wasn't sure about it being offensive like I said, only for the wink and bluemoon being the only word.

    Some people put up things like the Irish war of independence and whatever, that did not shake the world, it only affected Ireland.

    Something a bit more recent.

    Looks to be a firebombing incident, probably the gulf war, maybe afghanistan or Iraq but I doubt it seeing as I have never seen those photos before.

    There's a reason I suppose but still I doubt she would have(Or rather her parents would have let her) sign a bomb "with love" unless they actually suffered because of violence. Either that or she's just evil.

    Thats a bit more acceptable than the Israeli one tbh because the first was a retaliation for a generally unprovoked attack on pearl harbour so they signed the bomb to vent so to speak.

    The 2nd was probably very soon after 9/11, It was probably heading to afghanistan to be used against the taliban and al-qaeda who had just killed thousands of innocents so I guess their anger is well justified.

    The 3rd definitley isn't WW2 buts it black and white so I have no idea about that, its not as nasty as signing a bomb "With love"
