Can someone explain to me what i can do with the pictures of morguefile? and also what i can not do.

I just don't understand there terms of use.

I'm having a chronic shortage of good pictures.

A quick glance at the web site suggests that you can down load images and do whatever you care to do with them. I could be wrong, of course, but I am sure a careful read of all the information there will answer all of your questions.

The problem is my native language is not English so i do not understand everything. It's just important to me that i can gimp(cut out, put filters on them,...) with the pictures and put the result on the web without getting problems.

I agree with littletank. The FAQ shows:

=======================================
I don't believe it, are they really free?
Yes, all images are really free and they can be used in your commercial projects without permission or credit from the photographer. Although selling prints, selling the images directly or claiming the photo is yours is prohibited.

Note: You are responsible for the content of the photos you use. It is very much the same as if you had taken the photograph yourself, you must still obtain proper permission for property or people depicted in the photos if any.
======================

My conclusion: you are free to use them, even in commercial projects. If however, people or property are shown on the pictures, you must ask their permission first before showing them on your website.

That's nice, that would mean i now have lots of pictures to choose from and to work with :D
I read the faq as well(about 10 times) but somehow i can't understand half of it.
