Most digusting people (read: creeps) on the face of the Earth, no question about it.

Graphic surveillance video of the incident on October 13 and later aired by a television station shows the girl run over by a van, which drives off leaving her to bleed on a narrow street in Foshan city, in the southern province of Guandong.

More than a dozen people over the next seven minutes walk or drive past the girl on bicycles and she is run over by a second truck, state media reported on Monday....

Western agenda. To be clear this shit happens, I'm not disputing that. But it's obvious there is something to be gained by the western media, in light of their waning influence and the resurgence of new global powers such as China, in mainly portraying Chinese society/culture/people in an unflattering terms. Hell, they do the same in China towards foreigner nations.

To steal a saying from another DXPer, fair enough.

But those are just goldfish. They have a short life span, unlike turtles that can live 100 years old 😈

Either way, they aren't going to survive long without food and air. Unless there's a way to open up those things to feed them and clean the water so they aren't suffering in their own fecal matter. 😢

You have to wonder what American news stories are making their way over-seas, based on the articles about China that we as Americans have access to..

LOL Could be just about anything. I'm having a had time thinking of something America has done semi-recently that could be flattering.

The same thing that was wrong with Americans in the '70s

touch?!

Not really that touch?! It was a short-lived trend, and for obvious reasons. It was NOT a typically Western "thing".

This is not an isolated incident either, so let's not get too politically correct here. Fact is, every time some new, briliant way of torturing animals surfaces, the Chinese are always involved! Whats with their fucked up relationship to living things? Do they have sadism in their genes or what?

Posted by ellessque

Why can't this just be a global problem?

Is it just me or does it feel like the whole damn world has lost its mind in the last few years or so? Granted I didn't pay attention, but I don't remember things being this crazy when I was younger. :/

I couldn't make myself actually watch the vid. Reading it the first time was enough to make me nauseas. 😢

I don't understand how people can do crap like either. Completely regardless of where they're from.

*nauseous* even.

and "crap like *that*"

Typos.

I am absolutely loathsome to say it, but DJ does have a point. "Chinese" in the thread title can be read as being geared towards the people or race whereas "China" would have been concretely about the country. Pending on personal perspective.

*shrug*

Posted by DonJohnson

even if it's true, it doesn't speak for the rest of the population. China has 1.3 billion people.

It's not about the little man, it's about a culture's relationship to animals and all living things.

Sometimes you kind of have to wonder why things happen the way they do. We're here watching a couple of posted videos, but really your life style is far from the people in the video.

A very valid point. I can't imagine an existence where I would ever consider running a child in the road as an acceptable form of behavior though. Or even keeping a live animal in a damn keychain. Half the disgusting stuff some people do. 😢

China is a country.

Black people are not a country.

Yeah but to Don they are, as we all know how he feels about black people.

It's easy to label things "trends" if they occurred in the past. Because they have a definitive starting and stopping point. The key chain thing is still ongoing, but who's to say it won't end in XX amount of months or years and be considered a "trend" in the future?

I'm sure it will as soon as they find a more sadistic ways of treating animals 🙂

People haven't really progressed. Maybe technologically we have, making us more dependable and lazy to do things.

I know what you mean. We like to think we're "civilized" but people are really still the same barbarians they've always been. And if anything, I think our technological advances are helping to dumb us down more as well as becoming lazy and socially inept. Didn't Einstein have a quote once about fearing that technology in the future would make people stupid?

Is it a matter of life style or moreso moral compass

click to expand

It could be argued that morality is subjective and correlates with the life style and/or socioeconomic status one is born and raised into. There are people who believe it's immoral behavior to be homosexual, or those that think polygamy is perfectly acceptable when others don't. We could even cite the old story about Robin Hood for an example. To the people the character stole from, he was a thief and a menace to society. But to lower classes he was a hero.

China has a one child rule, most of them want boys, so they kill the girls...or they used too. it was rampant problem....same issue in India

Ohhh, right. Yes I've heard of that. There are a lot of men over there that can't find wives now because there aren't enough women. 😢

They're going to see quite a population drop off starting in another generation or two. And statistically/historically speaking, it seems like most countries that go to war do so during times when they have an excess population of young males...

That doesn't really have anything to do with anything in this thread. Just a random thought that pops into my head every time I start thinking about China/US relations.

Where do we draw the line? Is there a line?

The line is where we draw it as a people. And where we have the courage to stand up for what we believe in and defend those who cannot defend themselves.

"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing."

I care about every innocent who is killed. Every breathing innocent....animal or child who is victim to fucktards with loose compasses.

We kill animals in the West as well, but in China they have perfected sadism towards animals into an artform! It's not about 'animal testing', it's purely about their fucked up sense of FUN! And altough I fully acknowledge it's about perspective, I am talking from the perspective of my own cultural upbringing, duh!

If you want I could go all philosophocal on your asses, and say there is nothing wrong with killing people or animals, that there is no God or 'moral compass' in the big old sky, and that it's just human nature. But that's not really the discussion we're having here....

Quite the change of track there.

Who said they love polygamy?

That is truly abuse of fish!

It would be great if we could limit human population to 1 billion. It is going to climb to 9 billion soon. Mother earth can't put up with so much greedy assholes.

silly tmv. we don't have to decide that. the elite have already decided who is going to live and who will die. those in power are playing god like they always have. their dinner table converstaions are not about nfl or americaN IDOL.

TMV. It was terrifying. This couple were running all over the country side trying to out run the police. The hidden camera guy was with them. When they got caught the mother was horrified. It was a very intense doc and funnily enough only aired once and was never posted on YouTube or anything. Which I thought was weird.

That's horrible. Definitely brings out my own vigilante wannabe side. 😢

Funny how things like that only get aired one time. I've noticed this happen to other news stories too.

"One at a time" implies multiple though. I'm talking about one for life from life till death.

That's the ideal. Doesn't seem to work that way in reality, but remains the goal all the time.

Really.

you were the originator of a post where you opened up on the playfulness of exploring people through sex and how it only had to be a momentary thing. I find that confusing.

Never said I wasn't a player lol. I do have a fine appreciation for the carnal and hedonistic delight, some of which is found only in moments passing through time.

But that's a side of myself that only gets put on display after having accepted that I'm not going to get the happily ever after all those !@# $ % !# $ % @# Disney movies promised me as a little girl.

*grumble grumble*

Somewhere along the way I decided that if I couldn't have my one then I would enjoy the many and be content with second best. And I do have my fun and pleasures, but it's still only the next best option.

Feby are you a mother? I think you would be an amazing one.

Yes, love. I am 🙂 I have two amazing little boys from my relationship with the gemini. I've actually never talked about this or them on here.
My one son is a taurus with a virgo moon and rising.
My other son is a SAGI 😛 with a gemini moon and aqua rising.

I LOVE THEM TO DEATH!!!!!!! I'd do anything for either of them.

The strangest thing is that before I had them I was like BLEH about children. I can't say 180 more. My love for my own boys has enlightened my maternal spirit of utmost spiritual devotion. They have changed my life. 🙂

I hear that TMV. I am slightly envious of that ability to take hedonistic pleasure that far, which is the only reason why I remember that post. Grass is greener on the other side. When it comes to sex my thoughts get in the way of enjoying the moment most of the time.

conversation for another day really but I have to say I'm back to finding women confusing lately.

After taking yet another sip of tea into the sinuses (you'd think I would learn not to drink and read DXP at the same time) I should probably make the record clear here--I'm not out having sex with all of these people lol. There are varying levels of sexuality to engage in without necessarily having to take it all the way homerun style . 😛

lol yeah I didn't think that. Trust me I don't have the ability to do even that.

Boundary and lines are my favorite words regarding that particular part of life. I have trouble separating my emotions with intimacy so there are definitely concrete barriers not to be crossed. But if things remain on a superficial level then that side never activates for me.
