You need to read the Snopes link referenced in post #4. It was a stunt. Read the link.

My biggest handicap is that sometimes the hole in the front of my head operates a tad bit faster than the grey matter contained within.

Quote: " What the photographs actually depict (according to the operator of the site that originally published them) is performers hustling money from onlookers by staging an act, one in which a subject seemingly allows himself to be run over by a heavy vehicle and then emerges unscathed. (Note the man with the microphone in the first picture, who drums up business and describes the action for observers."
That doesn't change my disgust for the images. Anyone who would inflict pain on a little boy for the sake of entertainment or money, or who would pay to watch such a scene, is a sick sum-beech. Period. In fact, if it was being done for punishment of a crime, at least that would be some kind of "good cause". But to do it just for pure entertainment, that's even sicker.

Interesting, what was the source of this story and these pictures?

One would assume that if the pictures demonstrate a 'stunt' that the child is not actually hurt during them. The stuff on the floor may be solid on two sides and not in the middle therefore meaning the tyre goes over his arm without hurting him. not much of a stunt if your monkey gets hurt is it?
Initially the pictures shock and someone uses them to garner hatred against Iran. People see what they want to see as is so deftly demonstrated in this thread.
Note - were these real I would be as sickened as the next guy, it just intrigues me that the way people get people to believe without question is to state that it happens in the current country of distaste - in this instance Iran; therefore building anger with that sate/country

The look on that boy's face sure looks like "hurt" to me. And if he's doing it willingly, how come Dad is holding his arm in place?

There are suports in the blanket and his arm goes between them, doubt it really hurts at all. All to willing to belive the worst though weren't you.

Where'dya go for the last couple months? Just returned a week ago or have I not been paying attention?
It's degenerated into just a bunch of name calling lately. It's fun, but in a stupid pointless way.
I kinda like it. Easier to disengage and get some work done.

John, thats nothing dude. I once saw this guy put his girlfriend in a box like her feet were sticking out the bottom man. Her head was out the top. Then this sick son of a bitch got a saw and sawed her in half... Man, did she scream! Then he stuck her back together John, NO SHIT, I saw it with my own eyes! Yea, sure she was back together again but those screams... John, I still hear those screams man, don't tell me she wasn't hurt. Those screams........The HORROR......The HORROR....

Funny you should say that, when it comes to abuse of children , yes of course I am going to be sickened ... since there were pictures, it is to me enough to make my stomach turn... Even after hearing its a magic type show. It still pains me to see the child exploited. If the initial evidence shows abuse I side with what I can see. Id rather be proven wrong then to not take a case of child abuse serious and in the end something devastating were to happen to the child.
Are you saying that if you had seen that picture with no knowledge of its validity, you would automatically remain emotionless until you know its source and the story behind it?
If that is your stand that is fine, however that is not mine. My emotions and my protective nature will always prevail over the need to be un-biased until proof one way or the other when it comes to kids and their well-being.
The fact that you find it funny that I allowed myself to show emotion to a child who is (being exploited is abuse in my personal opinion, granted not nearly as bad as being run over by a truck) being abused makes me kind of sad for where some of our society stands on some issues.
Sudsy Fist: i don't think i'd ever say this
Sudsy Fist: but you're looking damn sudsydoable in this

I have not seen children punished like that but adults…lets just say the Iranian justice system sucks monkey balls.
