The line still spans another x3 folds back.
I don't believe that lining up for a library in China thing for a second. Call me racist, but I was born in China and raised in the west. Why would a library ever have a line? Does it not have enough space? Then the students would know that and not waste precious study time waiting unless they had to: eg something was left out like that their tests would take place in that library.
If they were really that devoted to studying, they'd be studying with a ski mask and gloves outside while waiting for the library instead of standing around.
Library isn't open 24/7.
Neither is Robarts Library in Toronto on Fridays. People still don't waste time lining up, but they stay there all day and it's always hard to find study spots on a 13 floor library. I think it's the largest single library building in North America.
Okay fine, you caught me out, its a lie. They are in fact lining up for Justin Bieber tickets.
I hope I have made that picture more easy to cope for your mind.
They have camera footage of that.. When the General pulls the trigger him at his head, you can see the direct impact and the blood gushing out. Its pretty, how should I say it? Gruesome? Maybe thats an understatement.
The final spike being driven into the Canadian Pacific Railway, permanently unifying our great country.
The original spike was to be made of solid gold but they switched to a normal one due to lack of money. Also he bent the first spike and had to use a second one.

The thing is, libraries can easily be full, but there are other places to study.
Youknow I've actually been to the museum and spot he was shot.
He was a farmer, he had 2 children. He was innocent, even the american authorities later admitted it. You can travel there and look at his papers.
What makes that powerful is that even today people tend to believe what they read, you think he's a vietcog/officer/terrorist because that is what has been read bellow his pictures. But he wasn't. He was just someone innocently blamed.
The girls skin, not viewabel from the picture, is skinned due to napalm. There's a video aswell if you google it.
I try do draw alot of emotions, so I'd love to share them here. (not wanting any praise or feedback I'd just like to share stuff cause we seem to dwelve alot on emotions in this topic so why the heck not.)

The video for this is one of the most graphic visuals of the Vietnam war that is still burned in my memory.
Some Holocaust Pictures
Welcome sign to Auschwitz-Birkenau - Translates to "Work will set you free" I believe.
The main railroad leading in Auschwitz-Birkenau
I believe U.S. reconnaissance photo of the Auschwitz-Birkenau Complex, very far south in the photo is the Buna, which was the largest sub camp of Auschwitz and if anyone has any interest in a primary source account of life in Buna they should read This

On 8 April 1991, Dead was found dead, leaving a suicide note which included an apology for having shot a firearm indoors and which ended with: "Excuse all the blood." He was later found by Euronymous with his wrists cut and a shotgun round to the head.[
Most inspirational figure I can think of. This man is just pure good. I study history, sometimes I can get really depressed if I remember the layers upon layers upon layers of pain we call history. It is people like Gandhi that help me remember there is still so much good in this world.
To answer a couple of questions on this page, the graffiti is from an artist known as Banksy, he is really really good. The sign above Auschwitz indeed translates to "work will set you free".
