Okay, but obesity isn't the opposite of malnourishment.
MimzytheBun
Right, but its more a statement on the issues that threaten us. Poor nutrition/starvation vs. struggling with obesity as a society.
AssBall
This is a result of the "children in Africa are starving!" argument. #BlameMoms
MimzytheBun
There are a lot of aspects to the North American health crisis than just moms not letting their kids throw away food. Its multi-faceted.

It was a joke, lol

Technically, (n)adjective(n*2)me and (n)adjective(n^2)me also work for the original equation. Not sure why '+' gets all of the love.

Because it started as 2x4me and 3x5me.
DragonMaus
It started as 2x4me, then developed into 3x5me. Could have just as easily gone to 3x6me or 3x9me though.

The tough thing about social issues is that you can't really explain them in a single image and/or sentence.
balthcat
Sometimes you can sum them up pretty well, though.
NexiKuro
2/2 That's why comedians can get away with it, because they just use them to be funny.
NexiKuro
Yea but that doesn't really get solutions. You need to know what the actual problem is, not an oversimplified image. 1/2
gijensen
Why is every single person who agrees with these pictures being downvoted? The bad comments section is full of okay comments.
HonestOpinionsAreTheOnlyWay
Because pictures are not good? In the first picture parents of baby actually thought before giving a birth, what i can't for the second kid.
thewhyteman
As an artist, I don't really understand it. Apparently everyone here is older than their age and enjoy vast wisdom.
gijensen
I like it how this was >12, in 15 hours it has lost 8 points. I guess we'll see how much more I lose for asking an unanswered question.

You mean "used correctly", or perhaps "used the right way"..

Why do people make America feel bad for being successful? You you do know most foreign aide comes from America, private and govt.
cegimerhange
Most of it goes to Israel, a pretty developed country. The rest goes to the UN, where we can threaten to pull funding to get what we want.
MimzytheBun
It isn't an attempt to make you 'feel bad', just highlighting that our way of life comes at the expense of the suffering of others.
NotACanadian
Successful = wasteful?
Talmorean
Not people in America. Socialists in America that want to redistribute the wealth want the successful to feel bad.

Creeponomist
More like insipid platitudes.
jellybeanoverdose
Because the ideas sound cliche? Too many artists/activists moan about them? It's like these things don't happen all over the world at all!
Creeponomist
Nah, see, they're insipid because they're simplistic and uninteresting, as eye-opening as a Hershey's kiss.
jellybeanoverdose
What's wrong with simplistic? Why does it have to be mind-blowing? The artist is just putting down his/her thoughts on social issues
Creeponomist
And they're facile and uninspired. "War is bad" is not an enlightened or wholly accurate statement.
Xaldyn
I feel like the first two are supposed to mean something, but I've no clue what.
BluBoxx
*Your way of life comes at the expense of the suffering of others* - That's what the first two mean.
scottynoface
Because we should feel bad about having nicer stuff than people 3000 miles away, it's that simple right?
supremacysun
That nicer stuff was made in a factory by those people.
scottynoface
Whoop dee doo
BluBoxx
No, those people 3000 miles away suffer so that you can have nice things. You didn't die of exhaustion mining REE's for your computer... 1/?
HonestOpinionsAreTheOnlyWay
And it's not like i get it for free, you know, i paid money for the shit.
BluBoxx
Yea, me too. Money that goes straight to [pick large corporate entity here] with a little as kickback for the warlords who control the mines

Who do you suppose did? Answer: children enslaved by warlords. No need to feel guilty, just realize the real cost of our way of life 2/2
scottynoface
Things are so significant! Fuck off.
scottynoface
Write a letter
Talmorean
Nope...not biased at all...no agenda what so ever by the artist.
thewhyteman
Why do conservatives often brand anything non-religious as being a part of an "Agenda?" Most of my friends are theistic, I still love them >
thewhyteman
I don't have some secret "agenda" to turn them into Atheists. Hell, all of my family believes in God. I'm fine with that, its their choice.
ThisIsGod
You do realize that artists make things like this for the specific purpose of expression, right?
JustLivin
Are you seriously criticizing an artist for putting a message into their work?
Talmorean
The artist is criticizing the world with his/her art, I am criticizing his art for those views. We're all allowed to have opinions.
balthcat
That's not what you did. You may have intended to do that, but you attacked them for bias/agenda, not the TYPE of bias/agenda.
balthcat
Also there's like 10 artists here.
JustLivin
Yes but you didn't criticize his views, you criticized him for putting his views into his work. Which is ridiculous.
BluBoxx
Also just because you have views doesn't make them accurate. These pieces largely are representative of reality, whether you like it or not.
MusculusSternocleidomastoideus
Most of them, yes, others are just, well, not accurate.
BluBoxx
Fair enough, out of curiosity, which don't you think are accurate?

The fat man one was quite good. I think they have to be artistically pleasing first and the message comes second
MimzytheBun
The image portrays the contrast in our world problems pretty well, in a form (the ying yang) that has been overused quite a bit.
Ansatsunin
More like "I'm over 20 and think everything must be superduper deep to have relevance, or be worthy of my attention or appreciation."
vavavoooom
Honestly. It's not a ringing endorsement for this site that people have thought these images were so profound for so long. There's no subtly

Honestly, I prefer it simple like this.

I know you're making a joke, but this isn't deep, this is blunt, both can feel very similar when you're young.
Ansatsunin
These messages are worth being reminded of now and then - even if lacking in subtlety. If not, they wouldn't be true anymore.
lxlulz
Is any of this somehow shallow at 15+?
conspiramid
Yeah, you reach a point where you're more interested in specifics and solutions than these fairly lazy generalisations.
eggmuffin
It's hamfisted, heavy-handed delivery of clichéd, broad-strokes platitudes. Some more than others, but none of them are deep.
cwwazywazy
at 16 it's sea level.
JPBStory
They are valid points and we shouldn't leave behind our disapproval pf the world's problems when we get older and cynical. Not deep though.
the1chaos
It's more that the messages here are utterly hamfisted. They're true, but in no way deep. Unless you're in your teens, when this is all new.
zaraztroe
They’re not even true
tarjeidavidsen

Deep implies that the full meaning isn't immediately apparent. These are blatant. True and meaningful, but nowhere near deep.

People are quick to find a way to dismiss messages that clash with their established views. Sorry if me saying that is trolling.

Depends on the parents and the country of raising, really. It's poignant all the same.
petrichor93
Agreed. If my parents were born elsewhere, I could have as easily been raised in Islam as I was in Christianity. Parents shouldn't 1/2
petrichor93
force-feed their religion to their children in any case. Tradition, location, or culture doesn't make it right.
travellingmonkey
Dunno why you're getting down voted for a pretty non-offensive comment :-/
petrichor93
Haha, thanks. People seem to get butthurt when someone has a differing opinion. Oh well. I stand by my opinion. :P
Trekker47
What confuses me is I assumed your opinion would be the more prevalent one on imgur.
petrichor93
Seems like it...imgurians are fickle ones, though. XD
Trekker47
Dunno why they have the cross AND the fish, both refer to Christianity.
DemonicKat33
Crosses are a bit more prominent in Catholicism. Both are used in either, but I always equate the fish to jesus, cross to marry
CoconutCyclone
Marry is a verb, meaning to combine or join together in Marriage. Mary is the name.
Triggahands
Fish symbol is pagan. Has nothing to do with Christianity. Just look at the pope's hat from the side. Most people don't know this. Sheep.
OktoberSunset
Fish is for Christians inside a car and cross is for Christians not inside a car.
wellboofuckinghoo
Maybe catholic and protestant?
Trekker47
Possibly? But the cross is blanket christianity, and the fish originates from back before any schisms happened.
daguq
Is the cross blanket? Only Catholic churches display the cross on the roof.
vauhtihirmu
Not where I live, interesting it is some place in the world.
hatesdigimon
the cross was a late symbol actually http://symboldictionary.net/?p=2041
Trekker47
At any rate, the only group I can think of who don't preach the cross are JWs, otherwise it's pretty central to Christianity.
Trekker47
Not necessarily, just google imaged 4 other groups off the top of my head and a lot of their churches have crosses, inside and/or outside 1/
