I always treasure your criticisms, from the first day they started coming a few years ago. I have made a slight change on the blog for the more "sensitive" ones like you. But I have left the ugly scene so that it contrasts with the beautiful wild life--the Giraffes. Oh, what a world we live in!Conrad Mbewehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00560142646595019527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2301621142882601935.post-33969980680285845562009-01-20T12:44:00.000+02:002009-01-20T12:44:00.000+02:00Pastor,<BR/>Your blog has become one of my favourite stops. I cannot agree with you more on the SA the land of contrasts. I am posting this one to see if your tutorial has worked.<BR/>PhanuelPhanuelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12258245395124926857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2301621142882601935.post-77164819782687622872009-01-20T08:23:00.000+02:002009-01-20T08:23:00.000+02:00I hesitate to post this and I wouldn't expect you to publish it as it falls partially into the realm of the advisory as well as the protestory (to coin a word).<BR/><BR/>The picture of this poor man being burned alive is distressing and shocking, to say the least, and I think more sensitive 'viewers' should be told at the very top of the page that they are in danger of being offended or severely jolted. I don't think that picture belongs on the home page of any website, especially, coming as it does after the picture of the graceful giraffes and the serene Madiba. <BR/><BR/>You also don't explicitly refer to it in your narrative and I think a less jarring picture would still do the job. I can just imagine the reaction a person would have who had lost their relative in just such an incident last year, or even in the horror years of Apartheid. <BR/><BR/>I freely admit I have a strong aversion to the 'new' journalism of filming moments of birth, of reproduction, and of death, as I feel people have a God-given right to dignity at such seminal times in their lives.Sikamenahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06848557235409851999noreply@blogger.com
