I'm talking of people like the boko haram members and other kids brainwashed by their clergymen. Nobody here is ready to die for a cause

Those are just good guises for perpetrating criminalilty......they do not preach the true tenets of any religion.

Please quit making the same daft mistake the others who have been reading this thread have been making. Simply read that story again, Carter was however helpless in any attempt to help the starving child. He actually did the photo shoot for the rest of the world to positively react which they still failed to do.

Very true and I agree with you on that relating to the internet. Though the internet itself is used to provide reasonable and valuable information, it is also used as an avenue to deceive the gullible ones. Hence, one really needs to put on their thinking cap when viewing information on the internet so as not to be thoroughly deceived. Besides, I really had to look at some of the pictures provided as information on this thread and use logical and common sense reasoning to deduce that some of the pictures shown doesn't corrolate with the wording provided.

Thanks for your time as well.

Cool..

Lets scrutinize any post or pics on the Internet before placing a comment..

With common sense..we can figure out what's true or what's not.

Thanks for your time.

You guys disgust me! Read.



Instead of finding out what Carter did after the photo, you guys blindly concluded that he took the photo for fame.

Since Carter took that photo to today, more than 3 million Sudanese have died, most of them starving children (some probably eaten by vultures), hundreds of thousand have been raped. The sectarian conflict in Sudan continues to this day.

Carter risked his life and the sanctity of the First World to brace the harsh realities of the Third World. And perhaps gave the world the biggest reveal of the situation in Sudan that spurred International intervention that recently culminated in the breakup of Sudan and creation of South Sudan.

Instead of him to be celebrated, you guys are loathing him, seemingly celebrating his misfortune.

Any normal human who has seen all the things Carter saw will be scarred for life. The highest suicide rate in America is amongst military veterans. Carter saw worse.

We are in this country where more than 250 people were supposedly mistakenly killed in a bomb blast by the Nigerian Airforce and there has been no protest. What have you personally done to lend your voice to say that is unacceptable. 1 billion people go to bed hungry every day on this planet. How much have you donated to feed these people? When last did you remember these people exist?

Carter is a hero. May his soul rest in peace. And may we not lack people who dare show us things we often don't want to see or believe to be real. While people like you do their best to ridicule good and facts.

Tomorrow, you guys would end up in Church praying to a big man in the Sky, asking for a world where there are no deaths, when you guys have done nothing to help the one you're in.

Rubbish!

You could have stated your thoughts without insulting us. I maintain that what he did was wrong. Whatever is worth doing is worth doing well. It wasn't enough for him to chase away the vulture.

He saw the weakness in the child, he should have done more. If he felt he was a hero anyway, he should not have committed suicide.

You are a disgrace to mankind.

Did you even bother to read the account intently?

The photographer fended off the vulture and couldn't help the child because he was held back by the Sudanese military men monitoring his movements.

He said the child eventually got to the feeding center. But that he was unsure that the child would survive for long.

Maybe you need to use the bio organ in your skull, rather than respond like a zombie.

Starving Sudanese child is stalked, and eyed hungrily, by a starving vulture.

This contrast of a plump vulture and a starving, emaciated Sudanese girl is striking, alarming and won the photographer, Kevin Carter, a Pulitzer Prize for feature photography.

The girl was on her way to a feeding center, when she collapsed.

When asked about the fate of the girl, Kevin Carter said that she resumed her trek to the center, while he chased away the vulture.

However, he added, that it is unlikely she survived.

Your moral compass is skewed?

Did you even read either versions of the story?

The official version is that he was with armed Sudanese military men that gave clear orders that he should not interfere. What more should he have done? Carry the child and get shot? Your type amazes me. Nothing is ever enough.

You still maintain your ignorance even when both accounts are clearly online to read. I don't know what to call you.

About committing suicide. Soldiers that go to victorious wars still go home and commit suicide. Anyone who saw what Carter saw and eventually tried to help but was condemned like he was would contemplate suicide and most likely give in. Don't stay holed up in your cocoon and think you know it all.

Read, inform yourself. Don't condemn good deeds.

Don't believe anything everything u see or hear from the Internet..

Who captured the picture?
And allowed d man got away with the corn.. (the food there looks like corn)

And why would a sane person share this as a food to almost half dead human? Where does the good samaritan thinks this being would get stove or gas to cook this meal?

Think of these things now.. And tell me..

And if it's true(which I know it's not, the kid might be probably begging the man for food) why did the photographer or who ever took that pics not fight for the child? Cos from the pics here.. It's clearly known that a matured photographer might have been d one that took that shot.


I stand to be corrected!!

Don't display your ignorance and stupidity.

If you can't read English, ask someone to translate the account to your native language.

Where in the account was it written that he said "the girl chased the vulture away"?

Explorers:
The body of John Torrington.



In the 1840s,John Torrington and a crew of 100 explorers sailed thousands of miles away from civilization in the arctic attempted to find the fabled Northwest Passage that would allow for quicker and safer travel between North America and Asia.

However, during the expedition, Torrington’s ship was damaged, and the crew was forced to abandon and trek back through Canada on foot.

No one made it back.

136 years another crew set sail to recover their bodies, upon opening the graves, the scientists were simply baffled by what they found: three perfectly preserved bodies who stared back at time.

Torrington’s body was buried along the way, perfectly preserved by the frigid temperatures.

As a Kid that loved to always view the Encyclopaedia Brittanica 89/90 version then, this pix caught my attention always. Caption said she drank her urine for days while the vulture followed. Also said the Photographer committed suicide cos he did nothing to help the girl herself. Dunno which to believe now again

Have you ever imagined what would have happened if he removed his cloth, wrapped the girl and carry her to the refuge center?
.
That is what real help entails. It is just like seeing a child walking to fire, instead of removing the child entirely from the place, you only shifted the fire and walk away.
.
My summary is that, his singular act of not rendering help when it is needed most, might has haunted him leading to the suicide.
.
Please watch a film called 'Schindler list'... Something like that name... It is about world War 2 and how an Austrian who had failed in virtually all business endeavors finally succeeded during war.... Circumstances made him to render help by risking his own life protecting the Jews.. Over 1000 all in the name of creating work for them.
.
Maybe, you will learn what empathy is called not 'creating an awareness like you called it with a likely hidden agenda of obtaining fame'.

Okay, look at it this way. We are nigerians and in our various environments, we see quite a lot of abominable events and news; from the ripped up body of a soldier from a bomb blast, to the acid burnt body of a victim of a love triangle.
My point is that we have seen enough scary and enough mysterious events in our own small country, the Op knows this as well as other readerS, so no one needs another rehashing of our failing humanity.
I thought the Op went out of his way to bring up facts that would evoke excitable wonderment about our world, space and d likes; so his point in creating this topic is still obscure, i have seen a lot of "bad" Myself i dont need someone coming to tell me "hey there just look at how bad humanity can still get".
