#1- this site looks like a tabloid to me. a bunch of trolls sitting around making up random shit and blowing out of proportion various news stories. most likely, we would have heard about this in america if it was real.
#2- If you actually enjoy reading about this shit, spending time reading about other peoples traumas rather than doing something productive, you are part of the problem.
#1: If you weren't looking for conversation about a variety of issues, you shouldn't have gone to an ONLINE FORUM. People are going to talk about things that matter to them. the only troll i see here is YOU good sir.
#2: Isn't being aware of problems and discussing them so that we may come to some sort of societal consensus about their merits and relevance, better than not being aware of problems at all? Ignorance is bliss, until you are the one in pain and the rest of the world is looking in the other direction
that is a nice attempt at a dodge, but ultimately a fail. "awareness" of something does not = actually doing good things and focusing on being positive in life. if what you enjoy is reading about peoples misery, then you should consider removing yourself from the gene pool.
And what was i trying to dodge? Awareness is the first step. Many years ago, parents were allowed to do much worse to their children, and there was no social system to stop them. If society had not become aware of the problem, through the discussion of everyday people, things would not have changed. Four or Five decades ago, this incident would not be given the attention it deserves, as it would be considered social acceptable. But due to the reasonable discussion of people through various social mediums, that has changed.
As to your other point, no i do not enjoy other peoples suffering you pretentious twit. What i enjoy is talking about everything and anything under the sun, even topics that make the skin crawl. Why? because they bear discussion if this is to change into a better world for real. If we turn away at everything negative, not only will a lot of people suffer needlessly, but nothing positive will ever really happen. You can focus on the positive all you like, in fact i implore people to do so, but if you refuse to accept that there are things on this planet that bear discussion and action, no matter how unpleasant, then you might as well be living on Mars.
