This is aimed at any one who knows the site particularly well

Is there anywhere on the site a picture of a man with an asian girlm slung over his shoulder like a piece of garbage? Or is this guy just barking up the wrong tree/smiking something that he definately shouldn't be?

I think your translation is off (though mine isn't any better). I believe (s)he is refering to the second article on this page. (http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~wwu/truth/genocide.shtml) (Yes, there is more to this site than puzzles.)

Ah yes - you are right. I left belgium 10 years ago (at the not quite so mature age of six) and the phrase "bas coté" is new to me. Having googled it i  found that it apparently meant shoulder - the basis for my mistranslation. Thank you for pointing that out.

My french is far worse (I'm terrible with languages), but I was able to find the picture, and then determine that it must be what was refered to.

ahhhh... ive never ventured out of the riddle forum before (well, not properly) so that explaines my lack of knowing that anything else existed on this site. Damn those riddles for being to entertaining  :P

That may be. I'm sure that if you go looking, you can find a great many pictures fitting that description (some of which are not at all appropriate for an 11 year old!).

But the fact that Lynoa chose to put her? post on this site without any apparent outside reference would indicate that she was referring to something on this site, and the pictures of the dead baby being ignored would certainly explain her distress over it.

I believe that Death's translation was off, and what he translated as "over his shoulder" should have been "on the curb".

In fact, with the help of Google and some interpretation on my part, I would say the original post translates to something like:

"This site looks interesting, but my English is at a low high school level. Some of the photographs are really shocking and show that Man is the worst monster. This asian girl left lying in the gutter like garbage has broken my heart. It is horrible - very, very horrible!"

If her english is really at a low high school level, I wonder which part of this site did she find interesting..
