No , im pointing out an alternative scenario that is just as good as the guesses you have made , but alot more realistic.

No actually you are now back-peddling from your original point that you quoted my answer to when you attempted to draw a paralell between Carters failure to offer some assistance to the girl when there was clearly no immediate danger to him in doing so and the dangers facing firemen rescuing people from burning buildings. It's important to keep things in context when discussing individual circumstances, unless of course in your point of view the wisest course of action for firemen arriving at a burning building with people inside would be to wait around for 20 minutes to see what happens next ?

umm typhoid , ebola , worms , dyptheria, thse are IMMEDIATE dangers that cause DEATH , thats why they warn them NOT TO TOUCH FAMINE VICTIMS
|
LOL, but you couldn't catch any of these by simply chasing the Vulture away and attempting to communicate with the girl could you ?

we dont know he didnt do that.. you assume he didnt ,

No actually Carter is very specific on this point when later it emerged that in hindsight he wished he had chased the Vulture away - or did you miss that part of his testimony ?

paraquoting someone doesnt make it fact..

Yes it does when it comes from their own testimony of the events.
Grow up.

If someone tells you " dont touch that person , you will get sick and die and your not helping them.. would you help them ?
|
Yes I would by offering them what assistance I could given the circumstances rather that just waiting around idly as Carter clearly did.

I didnt lay any guilt trip on you. you did it yourself.. You called someone who helped by letting us all know the problem an "utter bastard" yet you haven't done ANYTHING and your somehow better than him ? I think people in glass houses , shouldn't throw stones..
|
Oh but you did my friend, and unless you can point out where I do I never called Carter an "utter bastard" for bringing the situation to the publics attention through his photography but for his refusal to act in any way to offer what immediate assistance he could to the little girl when it was within his power to do so. Remember context is very important here.

Lets list all the things carter did to save starving african children.
#1 ) he brought the images of suffering into the homes of america, undoubtedly helping spurn thousand of people to donate money, if thepicture is right or wrong is a moot point as you HAVE to agree his picture has HELPED
|
Undoubtedly so, but again you seem to have a problem with context and accuracy here. I stated my opinion on Carters choice not to offer
any immediate assistance whatsoever when it was clearly within his power to do so in that one specific instance and not in the overall effectiveness of his media in general.

Now you list all the things you have done to save starving african children.

Remember it's not my actions that are being questioned here but those of Carter at the time the photograph was taken.
