I'm sure they would have been the worst parents on the planet anyways. So it all works out, they go to jail, and their kids get new parents. It's a shame they were separated though.
...What would Hannibal Lecter do with a couple ittle Asian kids? ...Wait, don't answer that.Pyramid Head said:
I think I feel the sorriest for that little girl. No, your parents didn't want you, they just wanted money for their games. But you were worthless compared to your brothers in the eyes of your people.
Honestly, I'd have bought her myself. Even being raised here in America couldn't be worse than China, especially if this is how they view their people's worth simply due to gender.
And this will be my most racist statement today, but reguardless... why all the bother worrying about even HAVING sons to carry on the family name when there's at least 500 other families un-related with the SAME FUCKING LAST NAME?

Don't know why he wants Chinese, he'd be hungry again 30 minutes later.PleasantAsAHeadcrab said:
That...was an interesting read. At least they were honest and said they just wanted some money. Always a silver lining! But, no, seriously, those two are worthless human beings.
no China doesn't represent all of Asia, but just about all of the countries have been doing bad doing bad over there...Nouw said:

there was that thing with the hairstylist that was getting robbed, so she raped the robber for 3 days.
The Whole Middle East
no one can make heads or tales about that place.
And that's only some of the stuff that Asia has to offer.

That isn't to say that stupid only exists in Asia, but we look to them for intelligence...
From my experience, it seems very Chinese. Gaming addiction is a huge problem in that country, but "bread and games" also is a very good way to keep the population at large content. Now this story... well, that's what happens if the very pragmatical Chinese way of thinking (stereotyping here, of course, but from my experience, most of my Chinese friends tend to be very, VERY pragmatical - that is not a bad thing normally, mind you) meets gaming addiction.
I find it rather ignorant of you to base an entire country on 1 or 2 pieces of news. Every country has done fucked up stuff, but we don't call them out on that do we? Here's an article on a woman blaming Farmville for the death of her baby. [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/7.241344-Woman-Blames-FarmVille-for-Killing-Her-Baby] That doesn't automatically make America a stupid country. Heard of the shooting in Norway? [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.302205-Terror-in-Oslo-UPDATE-Anders-Breivik-gets-8-weeks-of-custody?page=1] Does that make Norway any worse a country?orangeapples said:
I also find it rather saddening that if news of Asian doing something 'stupid' suddenly breaks a 'positive stereotype' towards them. Can't they just be like every other country and have a health stereotype? And don't get me wrong, everything you mentioned is fucked up but that doesn't mean that everyone else in that country would do the same thing.
No, the kids go to westerners.brainslurper said:
There's rich people who don't have children of their own (often because of infertility), but still want to raise children.
They don't always go through official, legal channels.
There's a very good chance those children will be a million times better off where they are going.
There must have been some sort of intermediatary service within China at least, or the girl would have gone for as much as the boys.veloper said:
The chinese value boys more than girls. They reason that girls only cost money to maintain, while boys can eventually make more money working and thus support their parents.Fangobra said:
It could be that the parents make a better bargain over the boys for that reason.
Maybe they do sell kids to other chinese people too, where only the boys would fetch money, but I reckon the boys would still fetch alot more money abroad.
That's my point. I doubt the parents would much care for their own sensibilities if they thought they could get more money for the kid by harnessing those crazy westeners' apparent not-giving-a-shit-whether-their-child-is-heir-material attitude. I'd have thought there'd be a Chinese middleman organisation of some sort involved.veloper said:
