Chinese Parents Sell Kids To Fund Gaming Habits

[Critterbot]

....................................................

Oh I'm sorry, my brain shut itself down for a minute there, I'm finding it difficult processing this level of stupidity, so it sort of overloaded.

 

[Berithil]

Stupid people. Can't live with them, can't live withou... no, forget that. I think a lot of people would like to live without these types of people. Nowadays it seems like for every intelligent person there is five idiots.

You gotta think although this story is ridiculous it's probably the best thing that could have happened for the kids as clearly the parents weren't going to raise them right.

 

[duchaked]

If Li Lin and Li Juan aren't sure about whether they're completely worthless human beings, I'll be happy to give them the answer.

couldn't have put it better myself. China should make it law that total losers like this shouldn't marry and make babies...I mean America couldn't but the central kingdom sure could haha (only joking, sorta)

 

[Necrofudge]

I can't believe they would sell their children for so little. These are some truly despicable people... I mean, each child holds the potential for decades of cheap labor and viable organs!

Another thing that comes to mind though, is where they got the idea? Did they actively look around for a buyer? Or did someone approach them one day with an offer they probably could have refused if they had any moral backbone?

Possibly, but not if they've been sold to child sex traffickers or organ farmers.

Well, to be fair, it IS China. Given China's way-too-free market that's 50% bootlegs, 40% lead-based children's toys, and 10% making our clothes, I think assuming you can legally sell your child there is a completely plausible mistake to make. Heck, given the other human-rights violations China racks up on a regular basis, I'm actually surprised it's not legal to sell your child there.

Yeah it's a tragedy. But let's not blow this out of proportion. The children are victims, but so is the couple. They suffer the rapidly-spreading MMO addiction, and they probably have some deeper commitment issues. And do we even know who bought their children? Could've been potential loving parenting figures. (Which is actually plausible. Especially in the case of the boys. Every parent couple in China wants a boy.) So it's not necessarily the end of the world for those kids.

Coincidentally, the jail they're going to is one of the ones where the inmates are forced to play WoW to grind gold.

I have it on good faith that the children are also engaged in a similar occupation. Family 8usiness ! :::

I don't even know how to express my disgust for this action. I can't consider this couple to be human beings; they are something more sinister and insidious.

Unlike some, I would not take this as an example to become depressed and despondent for the future of humanity(far worse, on much larger scales, has happened in the past, and humanity is still here and kicking). However, it does stress and demonstrate the need to maintain a higher sense of values and moral and ethnic character regarding how we treat each other and respect each other's existence as human beings. We should not let ourselves fall into the trap where we so greatly devalue and dismiss, though condescension and conceit, the existence of others that we begin to perceive the worth of others in the same fashion as this couple perceived their own children.

Amen, brother (sister?). I can't even begin to imagine the complete and utter lack of ethics and morals, the sheer selfishness of these people. This story makes me sick. Reading this actually made me feel like I wanted to vomit.

Note to self: Find shitty parents and destroy them. Seriously, what the fuck, for the love of all that is good and holy, you worthless fucking people, how could you sell your own flesh and blood? Its selfishness like this that drives me off the fucking wall.

 

[jpblade666]

People can be really fucked up. It doesn't matter where you are from, people can just be really fucked up. This story is sad, why would you do this!

Sorry, but the avatar you have right now just perfectly provides a bit of evidence to what your taking about.
If you change it by the timd you read this, I mean the one showing the pib-boy guy kicking the pregnant woman in the stomach.

Also, to answer your question, FOR THE MONEY.

Thank you lol. My avatar is the unused "childkiller" symbol from Fallout2, the artist didn't even want to draw it but the company wanted a symbol for it and when they saw it he said "this is the least offensive thing you can do with childkilling."

 

[Magikarp]

That seems like an insanely low amount. Didn't some chinese kid sell a kidney for a few thousand dollars recently? For a whole body, I would've thought you could make at least tens of thousands.

 

[moretwocents]

People wonder why I'm a cynical person.
It just happens that my reason is everyone else.

As retarded as these two clearly are I doubt they're capable of thinking that far. Someone please post a follow up of this story where these fools have been sterilized. Sterilized or killed because there is no excuse for this.

 

[allways2edlast]

I, I, I, I have no word to describe what I feel. Well i could say shocked but i don't think thats good enough.

But I do have a question I heared parents are only aloud one child per family. Or am i the just wrong?

 

[Kuchinawa212]

I could imagine junkies doing this kinda stuff...but that level 60 paladin better of been fucking worth it

 

[chaostheory]

Yep the Triad is the Chinese Mafia

Yakuza or another gang likely. Don't know about the boys so much, but once she grows up, the girls probably got a bright future in underage prostitution ahead of her now.

Wait, aren't the Yakuza Japanese?

Yep the Triad is the Chinese Mafia

 

[faspxina]

3. Why not just pirate games? It just comes off as an excuse.

But it's illegal... I'll just leave the room now.

 

[cornmancer]

On the bright side, now the children are out of the hands of these awful, awful people. Hopefully, they'll end up in a good home.

 

[pppppppppppppppppp]

If they like videogames that much, I have a good punishment for them:

Stay in prison until they beat I Wanna Be the Guy on Impossible!

I wouldn't put it past them. It has happened before...

Sure, they might eventually beat it, but they'll be criminally insane by the time they do. It's like a win-win situation.
