Looking for an image subreddit with minimal rules? Check out /r/images

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), weight loss photos, posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. Weight loss photos go in /r/loseit, 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.

FTA: 'Despite his exemplary military record, tours of duty in Vietnam, and high performance evaluations, the panel ruled Matlovich unfit for service and he was recommended for a General, or Less than Honorable, discharge.'
An exemplary heroic serviceman who volunteered three times for duty in Vietnam is declared 'unfit for service'. Who then is 'fit' for service?

On reddit they gave me a upvote for a thought provoking picture. And a downvote for reposting it

If you think about all the things he could have accomplished if he hadn't been pushed to commit suicide... tragic. :(

It isn't like he saw your comment and stole it; I had the exact same thought run through my head, and so did countless others.

[–]fleischblitz 8 points9 points ago

I upvoted the picture, his post, and his reply.

It's funny how quickly one can go from sentimental and thinking "that's a powerful image" to immaturely chuckling like a 3rd grader. Damn it, have an upvote.

I've seen this before, and I still think it's the most saddening and sickening thing about the USA. I'll be glad to see the federal government end it's descriminatory policies against homosexuals during my lifetime.

As long as there's a minority opposition to freedom of sexuality that is louder and more aggressive than the majority that want it, I fear it won't happen.

I do hope it happens in my lifetime as well, though. Its about damn time.

FYI this is a headstone in the Congressional Cemetery in DC. I've walked through there a lot since I live nearby. There are some pretty cool people's corpses in the ground there.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

Yup, that would have gotten you kicked out.

So all you had to do was fake being gay to be discharged during the vietnam war? So many lives could have been saved.

[–]NomadNorCal 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yeah. Think about that for a minute.

Option 1 - Go to a jungle, get shot at, get mortars and grenades lobbed at me, possibly be permanently injured, or killed.

Option 2 - Say I'm gay and face the social wrath and bigotry of my community just thinking I might be gay.

And millions of straight men chose Option 1. Just imagine what all the people who had no choice went through.

There's a troll on the GameFAQs Politics board who based his whole persona on the phrase "A medal for killing man and a discharge for loving one."

that sums it up. we are living in a fucked up beautiful world, which is getting uglier each and every second. what are we even fighting for. all we are fighting against are some crappy religious prohibitions. if they can overlook selling their daughters, why cant they watch the world in love?
