Make the conection between being a Catholic and running over a toddler with a pickup in China...if you can....you moron.
That doesn't stop you alerting the emergency services, or someone close by, or standing by the victim making sure they don't come to further harm while the relevant people arrive.Quote:

Mods can Social be thread banned from this thread? There is just no need for his shit in here.
I'm not saying it's an excuse Noodles. I'm saying it's an explanation. And it's fucking disgusting.Quote:

I was put through the third degree by the cops, my car was inspected every which way possible to see if I had hit the guy, and then I had to make a trip down to the cop shop afterwards to sign some forms (in Japanese) - I refused unless I could see a translation - they pressed me for about two hours and then let me go. It's true that they do put good Samaritan types through the wringer there. Still, even knowing what I know now I wouldn't change anything I did to help that guy.
As for the young victim in the OP, may she rest in peace.

Speaking of cunts... I hear they process executions quite expeditiously over in China, and with those number plates on video, it shouldn't take too long before the perpetrators are pronounced brain dead... any news on that front?
Catholics oppose abortion for the same reason you oppose running over toddlers with pickups in China.Quote:

Agree with your sentiments, but it should be mandatory viewing regarding the mindset of the next 'superpower'. If this becomes the dominant / prevalent culture, we're all in deep doodoo.Quote:

To those slagging off China - stop acting like a fucking teenager, people are people the world over and they are mostly very stupid cunts. Most land masses are are populated by stupid cunts who for the most part, have subscribed to the notion that they have a flag and a nationality/label and therefore belong to something - this identity is installed from birth and is simply one way that the powers that be condition society.
If the Chinese are all nasty bastards then why was this incident important enough to be shown on TV and why is the country outraged and the Chinese father in tears?
If the Chinese were that bad then Thailand wouldn't have sold it's country to them.
Quite right, Scamp.
Some don't get irony even when you use the irony icon...
i was in china a few years ago and it was bad (racism wise). one city i arrived at at 2am about 5 hotels refused me a room before i sought solace with a few beers outside a 7 eleven type shop. i surmised after a month or so that the cold side of the chinese is indeed icy. while obviously shocked and angered by this - sadly it doesn't surprise me.
Aye right. Poor kid got 18 stupid cunts in a row there, just rough luck I suppose. The 19th stupid [at][at][at][at] only pulled her out of the way so the garbage truck could get through.Quote:

I really don't believe religion, or the lack of it, has anything to do with it. Nor, indeed, has nationality. Cruelty, and lack of humanity, exists everywhere - it is, unfortunately, part of the human 'condition' but must never be accepted as such. Which is why I am a Humanist and, by definition as well as belief, an atheist.Quote:

I have a two year-old and I watched the video but all I could think about was "what if that was my child?" - it was heartbreaking. How can any human being (a) run down a child with apparent knowledge or intention and (b) pass by without helping. I am at a loss - there can be no justification. It's not easy remaining a 'humanist' in the face of such inhumanity.
Making too much sense for this thread, Scamp.Quote:

Not religion, it's heritage. A heritage of uncaring soul-lessness and it's easy to see where Thais get it.Quote:

You just can-not let a two year old baby out of your sight! They are curious, walk fast, and really small.
The (unts walking by remind me of Nykers. Good Samaritan laws change nothing if your a chicken shite.

It is not much use sidetracking the debate with an attack on the concept of nationhood.
It raises questions about the factors motivating behaviour in China's social structure. It is the fastest growing and 2nd largest economic power in the world so people are not just disgusted and shocked but worried about the consequences for the rest of the world and the evolution of global social behaviour as Chinas influence rises.
