Iraq Coalition Casualty Count
http://icasualties.org/oif/Doesn't this site seem a bit cold and impersonal, given the subject matter?
It looks like a stock qoute site.

I think it's more impersonal to kill them in the first place.
- k770
you're right. think they should have before and after pictures of the victims or something? just to personalize things?
- Jaline0
it's just numbers to them, apparently.
- k770
or photos of the casualties mom bawling her eyes out yeah?
- JazX0
ohh look, a thread everyone can FIGHT in, what a great start to a Monday

I don't want photos of the dead?
I was simply referring to the design - especially the color choices and layout as very cold.
- k770
death is cold.
- determinedmoth0
yeah they need a few animated gifs and maybe the dead could fly by on a ticker...
- Kuz0
yes radar, they should have gone for a nice pink hue, combined with pastal greens. And all the text should be in Rockwell

i think it's actually quite good that it's cold, harsh and distant, it makes you stomach turn and it makes you think, which is good, more awareness + like other's have said, death is cold and war is business.

You want warm and fuzzy casualty statistics? WTF??
God, I miss when America had a bunch of iron back boned progressives who used statistics as a weapon against stupidty (you know they are arguing against evolution AGAIN in Kansas right now) and injustice.
Now you want statistics to look pretty? The design revolution is complete and we are poorer for it.
And THIS people is what is wrong with america today.

the guys who run the military run it by the numbers, they see the number of fatalities per month drop a bit and then they plug it into an equation to determine troop moral

yeah, they need some flash games on there for the kiddies.
also, maybe a member incentive, like free ice cream cone at mcd*nalds if your mug is featured on the site.
