I think a little Christianity is what these cunts need.
Their religions, especially Buddhism.Originally Posted by Bung
Yes they are and sadly all I hear about is how they are the new economic powerhouse and they have surpassed the West. Not in my book. I am not impressed in the least. Not one bit.
What goes around comes around. They will fall on their own....hang themselves....for these sorts of things as well as how the government treats its people.
How many times are we advised to avoid helping Thai accident victims to avoid being hit with the charges even if we're not involved? And there is a thread on Chinese social benefits here which says the costs are horrendous. I'm afraid this is the inevitable result.
The first person to blame is the mother who was obviously close by but not watching her child close enough to prevent her from wandering in the street and to not notice for at least 7 minutes that the girl wasn't around, but laying dying in the street. She's just as callous and unconcerned as all the others who ignored the tragedy at their feet.
Eat more Cheezy Poofs!
Fark. That video clip is hard to watch. I've seen some horrific shite on the Internet, but anything involving cruelty to kids gets to me..
How anyone could watch that in real life and just continue on their way without doing something is subhuman.
Real glad to know we're economically-empowering a mindset like that.
Seems to me that it was done purposely. How can the driver not see the kid, he was'nt driving fast. The driver made sure that the backwheels "do run over" the kid.
Could this be the answer to these heartless chinese ?
"Book of Songs" (1000-700 B.C.)
"When a son is born,
Let him sleep on the bed,
Clothe him with fine clothes,
And give him jade to play...
When a daughter is born,
Let her sleep on the ground,
Wrap her in common wrappings,
And give broken tiles to play..."
We noticed.
I don't think China is run by the lawyers like the US is...

It is. Same same but different.
Damages for things like emotional stress or crap like that are not considered, but you must pay the bills you incur by injuring someone in any way.
Sweet Jesus! Humanity is fading fast.
but this is a "think of the children"Originally Posted by harrybarracuda
all these outbursts by "first" world Americans denouncing Chinese as heartless etc etc
new figures show that 2500 children are killed every year in the USA as a result of child abuse/violence etc
BBC: America
The United States has the highest child abuse record in the industrialized world. The statistics behind an ''epidemic'' of child deaths state every five hours a child dies from abuse or neglect in the U.S., the BBC investigation reveals.
Every week, 66 children under 15 die from physical abuse or neglect in the developed world, 27 of them in the U.S. However, the statistics with both regard to the numbers and ways of abuse varies from state to state.
The BBC’s journalist Natalia Antelava reports while the Dallas Children's Medical Center deals with a rising number of abused children and increasing levels of violence, the Houston Center is expanding its services to deal with the rising problem of child sex abuse.
The American child maltreatment death rate is triple Canada's and 11 times that of Italy. Why?
I'm afraid if it comes down to helping out someone else's injured child against feeding your family for a month, it's a pretty shit choice don't you think? You don't know the circumstances of the people that chose not to get involved, so I wouldn't necessarily judge them without the facts.
That's what happens when you have private medicine, the poor cannot afford it, and they damned sure can't afford to pay for it for strangers.
It's the system that's fucked.
In Britain and many other countries, ANYONE could have taken this child straight to a hospital without a worry.
That's what you should be angry about, and if you aren't, stop fucking whining about it.
Let's say, for example, you have a family and a mortgage and you earn 30 grand a year. And let's say, for the sake of argument, taking this sick kid to hospital would cost you a year's salary?
Would you still do it?
I very much fucking doubt it.
The next post may be brought to you by my little bitch Spamdreth
Michael Moore once did a TV series called The Awful truth, and in it on one episode, he put a "fake" victim on a city street in London, New York and (I think) Paris, with a live hidden camera on each, and checked back with them throughout the show.
You would simply not believe the number of people who walked out of their way to avoid even simply checking if the person was sick, or simply a hopeless, passed out drunk which perhaps many of them assumed immediately.
It's a sad world indeed.
A shocking example of how the very basics of human care and compassion has been left behind in the Long March forward.
Shame people of China, shame.
It's a reflection of their society. Mao knew this - that's why communism was imposed on them. They ain't socialist by nature that's for fucking sure. Individualist societies of the West are in Kindergarten when it comes to the learning curve needed to reach the Chinese level of "no one else matters but me and my family".
Those wishing for China to shed Communism should be very, very careful what they wish for. A no-holds-barred capitalist China could swallow the West in one bite if they got some megalomaniac president elected who decided it was time for China to 'cleans' the world of everyone else - so they could get richer as individuals. They wouldn't bat an eye at nuking everyone else.
My mind is not for rent to any God or Government, There's no hope for your discontent - the changes are permanent!
^Don't forget that those who have most compassion for their fellow human being are usually simpler out very quickly for punitive and often fatal treatment by any facist/communist/religious authoritarian state. The rest learn by example.
^^This is a very well documented human trait. if someone collapses in front on one person, almost always that person will help. if someone collapses in ground of a group of people, they all think someone else in the gouge will help so they don't need to and you end up with a delayed intervention.
In the Uk I have never driven past anyone in need of help, unless they are already getting it.
In thailand I have on several occasions done so and restricted my intervention to finding and informing the police. I've modified my behaviour because to provide any assistance beyond informing the police can very easly land you with some very unpleasant liabilities and long court cases... life changing stuff, and its quite possible that this happens simply because the victims family want to avoid the medical bills. Its just not worth the risk. Thats thailand, think about what china is like, just how greedy their hospitals are and just how afraid they are of having any dealing with their police.
I'm not saying these people ignoring the child were right, but you can see why they have strong motivations to delude themselves into thinking its ok someone else will deal with the problem.
