America is the most violent country when it comes to family abuse... [/quote] You would think with the advantages and level of education of Americans they would have less to fear and more freedom to express themselves. Maybe this is not the case. [/quote] Americans have been taught that neglecting their children is acceptable. I can't really put it any plainer than this, we're one or two generations away from losing civil society in this country because we might not be able to do a seemingly fundamental thing like raise enough healthy children, apparently by design. [/quote] In America, it's each man for themself. Seems to me ya'll hate each other with a passion. Must be a real sad shithole of a place to live in. [/quote]
Original Message
There has been a lot said about the 2year old child that was cruelly run over and ignored and, as disgusting as that was, I was more disgusted with the attitude of some Americans in the way they blamed the Chinese people.
Personally I feel Its not the race of people but the environment and economic situation. I heard on the ABC radio today about Americas child abuse death rates and was even more let down by humans in general.
1700 children, most under 4, died of abuse in the US in 2009 and the highest rate was in Texas.
GLPers were amazed that others stood back and did nothing but here we are standing back and cutting child services and education. Sometimes I ask how are we able to live with ourselves when we wont even help our own!
