Today I remembered this picture, and it sent shivers up my spine. Feel free to post equally depressing pictures, but remember:No Politics. Absolutely none! We can't have someone offended on the internet (http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=272).

Here is (http://www.cripo.com.ua/index.php?sect_id=1&aid=29537) an article entitled The Fate of Street Children: Glue, Narcotics, AIDS? It is the most sad article you will read today, if you read Russian. If you do not, the pictures are bad enough. The children were very beautifully and artistically photographed, though, which is why I have it bookmarked.

And here (http://www.lensculture.com/opton.html) is a series of photographs by Suzanne Opton, portraits of American soldiers.

Aaand, if you're not already suffering from a pervasive melancholy, Yevgeny Mokhorev (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yevgeni_Mokhorev)'s stuff tends to depress the everloving hell out of me.

ETA: Oh, and as apology, here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GWPOPSXGYI&feature=related) is my favorite cute kitten video.

I think part of the reason why I have trouble seeing it as a woman is because in the original image, she's leaning over, which means her legs are bending slightly differently from those of a woman on her back... in that position... So my mind says "lamp."

That really wasn't that bad. To me, anyway.

And as long as I can blare this song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RV35MxbzTPA), I am capable of being happy.

Of course, a song's not a picture, and therefore is inadmissable.

Alright pal, I've watched this whole thread for the good pics, I even thought the last one you posted (the string of text on black background) was uplifting, no matter what you say.

But this one got me. I couldn't even finish it.

I'm now trying to figure out what's more depressing: A dead dog, or the fact that I cry over a dead dog and not a ka-zillion dead humans.

*sigh*

Try focusing on one single human who tells you their story like this. That's the real difference.

There are maybe a couple dozen northern hairy-nosed wombats left in the world, and it's not looking good for those ones.

The cat one just didn't do it for me... Sorry. Not a cat person, I guess? I do like cats, just not like dogs.

Haruki, I get what you're saying, that poem "from" the girl who gets killed by a drunk driver chokes me up just to think about, haven't read it since 5th grade.

I think, mainly, tho, it's just how cute dogs are. They can give you so much a human can't. There's lots of things humans can that they can't, but it's a balance.

Awesome Australian Endangered Wildlife

Quick question: Did you have to put in the Tassie with a tumour? Anyway, the way you put it, it almost seems like we actively try and wipe out animals, but we only did that to, like, 4 completely unique and interesting species. :smallwink:

Also, is that a marsupial mole devouring that lizard? I'll admit, my first thought was some kind of crab... I need to get out more.

Ugh, I shouldn't have read that. My dog was put down earlier this week. :smallfrown:

Although in our case we were all together until the end, and she was put down at an age of over 100 in doggy years when it would only be painful for her to continue living. I already miss Patch.
