"I feel sick."

Looking at some of the pictures I see on the news and in the paper, I feel sick at some of the pictures that have been taken. I mean how can you show a picture of a barely alive or dead african boy on national television, it's blatent disrespect. How can you not just help these people?

With all my compassion set aside... I'm glad it is them instead of me.

After some of the things you've posted on here, I'm suprise you still feel the need to talk about your dignity...

No you wouldn't. Dignity and composure really wouldn't register to you at all, you'd have a million and one more important things troubling you.

If they can be helped then you need to show people images to make them get up and do something.

NO YOU WOULDN'T.

Think before you type.

But come on I'd rather die then have my dignity taken away like that.

I think starving african children have more to worry about than the insecurity they may feel from being shown on TV. Most of them probably don't even know what TV is.

I think they have bigger things to worry about than an invasion of privacy. It's all in their best interests anyway.

I just read your original post.

Are you saying they're disrespectful and should be removed from the television?

Or are you saying they help to engender interest in the subject, and make people donate money.

Because those two suggestions are fairly contradictory...

And lions that sing songs with warthogs.

Ok I'll take a photo of you when you're dead. It's just pure disrespect. Do you reckon these people are evn given any choice as to whether their pictures are taken?
