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.

When I see this sort of thing, as an American near the CA border, it makes me think "what if we were in a long, weird war with Canada?". It seems so absurd. Religious wars and borders are dumb.

As in Israeli who's currently in CA, I really rather you wouldn't.

A little weirder with US and Canada considering we have a shared culture. Think about a war with just Quebec, now that makes sense.

If not clear from the photo. He's holding an Israeli passport and she's an Iranian.

as a fellow iranian, it pleases me to see this. I feel (hope should I say) that the new generation is evolving beyond ignorance of hate based on something as beautiful as human cultures.

As a fellow Israeli - high-five

I went to a high school that was predominately Jewish. One of the things I hated most was that my friends would go on trips to Israel, and I couldn't go because even with my american passport they would see my nationality of iranian, AND if I did manage to get in, I would not be allowed back in my home land. Society is sad sometimes, that we as beings of this planet are banned from parts of it.

Man, don't get me started on Israeli border police. Them fucking bastards. Once, I personally escorted German friends of mine to the airport, cause I couldn't believe their horror stories. I've personally witnessed them - two blond, blue-eyed, German girls - being interrogated for an hour straight about the purpose of their visit to Israel, ignoring that I, an Israeli citizen, just vouched for them and told them the same myself. Cause you know, all them blond, female terrorists/illegal immigrants...

That's a really nice way of decsribing it, I'd never have thought of calling culture beautiful but you are spot on.

I NEED TO THIS QUESTION TO BE ANSWERED PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE:

IS SHE AN IRANIAN JEW?

My ex girlfriend is an American Iranian Jew, and the girl in the picture has a similar look. It wouldn't really detract from the meaning of the photo if she was...

LET ME KNOW!

As an American who was Bar Mitzvah'd in Tel Aviv, this makes me incredibly happy. Thanks.

People have more in common than we believe and it is our own ignorance that leads us to think otherwise.

Sometimes, I love people. This helps to remember that the assholes we hear from so often are not representative of us all.

is that an Iraq passport that he's holding? or is it Israel?

[–]ultraluminous[S] 18 points19 points ago

Israeli. The Menorah was a clue.

Umn, did they want this picture to be posted publicly beyond the people they trusted with their privacy?

[–]ultraluminous[S] 4 points5 points ago

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

Yes. Our mutual friend is the guy that started the whole "Iranians we love you" campaign. What sort of a douche you take me for?

[–]letsgocrazy 0 points1 point ago

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

Well, since I only know one thing about you I had no sense of context - but there are many douches on the internet, so there was a high chance you could have been one.

One must always be on guard. Apols!

Kissing a jew AND her arms are showing... So are they going to stone her to death or just saw her head off?

Look I'm happy for them and all but why do people feel the need to broadcast it?

[–]Casting_Aspersions 0 points1 point ago

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

It is part of a campaign where Israeli and Iranian people try to demonstrate that they have no ill will for each other and that it is just their respective governments that are interested in demonizing and saber rattling. This is just the next level, an Iranian and Israeli can be in love, we are not so different, no need for love, etc.

Don't think of it as broadcasting anything mushy or romantic, but a political statement against those who are trying to put us on an inexorable march towards conflict.
