The girl who was run over

[Animeniax]

I believe Ani never said it was almost entirely the mother's fault. He was reasoning that she had some part in this whole situation.

Saying that he should go vigilante and kill all children with severely crippling injuries/conditions would better reflect where he's getting at. By saying what you said, it implies that Ani thinks all unsupervised children will get run over with non-recoverable injuries.

Oh shit, someone who understood what I was saying without layering on their own misguided notions of personal responsibility! I started by asking where the parents were, which Archie replied saying I was wrong to wish death on the young crippled girl with 95% chance of not recovering, then Xan comes in and says I was blaming the parents via some theory which doesn't apply in this situation (not that I'm against that theory or that it doesn't apply to some of my worldview) and then it's a flame fest. Finally a voice of reason in Buffalobiian.

I could understand that reasoning if it was just people choosing to ignore a dying child, but there's no way you can defend the drivers of the two vans in any way possible. Their statements of not seeing anything is pure bullshit, and you wouldn't need to be Sherlock to see through that lie. Besides, this happened in a city in China, and China is already among the most powerful countries in this world, in various ways, so it's not just any "underdeveloped third world country" either. The times when China could explain anything by calling themselves a developing country are long gone.

I think you were one of many who had the wool pulled over your eyes by the Chinese representation of themselves during the last Olympics. Most of China is still 3rd world. There are some centers of 1st world development, but with 3rd world values as more and more countryfolk migrate to the cities for work and prosperity.

buff is trolling you guys so super hard.

No, he has an Eastern worldview similar to mine. By your western views, this planet will be overpopulated and used up in another 100 years.
