Hiding pictures like that is one reason why situations like what is going on in Zimbabwe can happen. You can look at it briefly or study it, but it should be known.

Not everyone wants to sign on to FR and be "greeted" with the pictures on the main page of a bloody, charred corpse.

If everyone's fine with it, then so be it. That's my honest reaction to it.

I am a registered nurse, so I'm not unusually squeamish in anyway.

I just have a complaint about this new style forum that shows all the pictures (like that one) to the main thread - where people have NO Choice but look.

It's not my call, but I find it offensive and disrepectful to those who come to FR for their news & interests to see an extremely gory picture to make a point.

I personally would've hyperlinked it, and warned people. I have chosen to see unpleasant pictures many times when people post it and warn - then it's my choice....and I certainly can GET The POINT of an International tragedy without being shocked.
