Submit your Halloween pumpkin pics to /r/horror's carving competition!

A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:
[text here](/spoiler)

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

None of us have the balls to make it through the life he lived day in and day out.

I can only dream to be a man living in his shoes. This picture can be interpreted many ways. He is lifting up the cross casually, like he has done this time and time again. He standing outside with the kid showing him that he will also have to fight for freedom when he gets older. Most importantly, he is removing hatred for our future generations to live with peace and equality.

It amazes me how small-minded people have always been.

[–]Lakolguy 0 points1 point ago

its all about where and when you were born. Ideology isn't innate. (not to say that those people should be forgiven)

[–]ReigningTierney 6 points7 points ago

this picture is worth 1000 words.

[–]DatGuy45 2 points3 points ago

1000? People could write essays on this picture.

[–]Adarkox 0 points1 point ago

I assure you some have HAD to.

[–]Abhorsen469 3 points4 points ago

I always imagined the crosses were bigger than that...

[–]theanswar 2 points3 points ago

The man changed a nation. Ever since I learned he plagiarized his thesis, I'm conflicted on his ethics, that doesn't change that his outward actions did mold the civil rights movement in the US, but conflicting to know what his past holds. We all have skeletons though...

You would be hard-pressed to find a great man who was completely flawless. For any of the greatest U.S. presidents, for example, you could write a book on their flaws. It's important to put flaws within the context of being human.

Identifying Racism:Accurate Results with Simple Tools.

Yep, it's racism.

[–]sammychammy 0 points1 point ago

I read that as "burning", which would have made this way more badass. Cool picture, though.

[–]zeeboguy 0 points1 point ago

This man has guts.

[–]NeroJoe 0 points1 point ago

Chalk this up as another example of how America used to have morals.

[–]Hellothereawesome 0 points1 point ago

Amazing. So amazingly full of meaning.

[–]edubbb 1 point2 points ago

see him in a suite in almost every picture. badass king jr

[–]MIG-28_Driver 6 points7 points ago

Back then you did not step out of your house without a suit unless you were doing manual labor. Jeans were for greasers or sailors.

[–]CrazyEddie041 -3 points-2 points ago

TIL reddit hates MLK.

[–]Scrooge_McDuck90 8 points9 points ago

Some redditors think the fact that he wasn't perfect should discount the fact that he inspired generations and helped change America. The easy way to put it is - they're fucking idiots.

Correction, Fucking perfect idiots who have no skeletons in their closets.

These are the same people that see Malcolm X as a racist til death and not an inspirational martyr. They just like to concentrate on the relatively negative aspects and not the hugely positive aspects.

[–]TroubadourCeol 3 points4 points ago

4redditchan is full of annoying and racist teenagers who are just coming to terms with the fact that they can hide behind anonymity to say whatever the fuck they want. This causes them to try to offend people because those with small minds are easily amused.

[–]Thad_Jarvis -4 points-3 points ago

that's not a cross. that's a T for THANKS!
