Look, from the very first comment I made in this ridiculous thread I have attempted to make it clear to you that there is a world outside the tip of your nose and that if THIS SHOCKS YOU then you may want to take a trip outside of the bubble.

I'm very happy that you teach your kids those things, but that is not universal. You accuse me of ACCUSING YOU of something when I never fucking did. You then ACCUSE ME of projecting onto you when I flatly stated twice that it wasn't all about you and that if people did get pissed off at you then your borderline xenophobic comment would be it. Stop letting the racist rebel rousers incite you to direct your anger at ME. I didn't run over the kid OR walk by it.

If you want to deny making generalizations and then suggest that love and concern is widely taught then I will refer you to our various social illnesses like racism, bigotry, sexism, and classism that currently have huge fires burning bright all over the fucking world. Wake up. I'm sorry you were shocked by the video, but you KNEW what its contents were so your emotional reaction is YOURS and YOURS ALONE.

don't YOU know when to shut up? apparently NOT. STFU!

Guess you still feel guilty.

I honestly don't know how to feel reading this. Have we really become this insane in our legality?

I don't know how it is for you guys and girls in the US, but watching TV here, at least 10 - 20 Times a night is an advert for "Sue this and Sue that" Companies............

Yes we really are that insane nowadays.

Once upon a time an accident was just that, an accident. Today it is a wonderful (Sarcasm intended) way to make a fortune. In fact, the UK Gov't are clamping down on these companies, mainly due to Insurers "selling" peoples info after they have an accident to the aforementioned Companies, so the insurers get a nice wad of cash and the Ambulance chasers get a new client

I thank fuck I wasn't born in the US. I don't believe it's as bad here in Oz but if we continue to absorb crap from the states the way we do now it won't be long before it's the same.

Although I don't believe so. Aussies are too lazy to be ambulance chasers

A Chinese province is debating the introduction of a law to force people to help others in obvious distress.

It comes after a two-year-old girl was left for dead after being run over by a van - and then ignored by 18 passers-by. She is currently in hospital fighting for her life.

The law might never be enacted - but even discussing such a measure shows the level of anger generated in China by this case. The fallout from this incident, which happened in the city of Foshan in southern Guangdong Province, continues.

Too little too late, as with all Gov't / Authority decisions

I hear now that one of the driver turds contacted the parents of the little girl....to complain that they are fighting to keep her alive because he will be forced to pay more compensation than if they just let her die. All the expletives in the world aren't strong enough

Why is the driver not in prison, never mind being able to have access to the family of the child he so thoughtlessly killed making demands on how you should allow your child to suffer??

What in the world?? Does the parent of a slaughtered child have no rights? What's next, the killer of your kids gets to protest at the funeral??? WTF! This is so shameful, the story just gets worse and I couldn't believe it was even possible.

BTW - has it already been posted that the girl died?

...and I still cannot bring myself to watch the vid.
