Pinkbullet3 Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 My condolences go out to their families. On a side note, I don't mean to be mean, what are we supposed to discuss here? Perhaps we need a 'news' sticky of some sort. ^ Blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps we need a 'news' sticky of some sort.You are right. I kinda sorta posted this in haste and was not thinking... if a mod feels as though this needs to be closed then please do so.

tortilliachp Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 well one thing that could be discussed, is why there's a topic on this mining accident, but not about the 100+ people who were saved after a week in a chinese mine, in complete darkness? Then there's the moral issue of 20 lives in an accident vs. the millions of others who die (in america and other places) from hunger, poverty, car accidents, alchohol, smoking, obesity, ignorance, stupidity and so on. 20 of our own, what if the same resources were spent in africa, how many hundred people could live there? us/ them? but, really, why is there a post on the topic, it's local news... :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i_love_burritos Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Because Chinese safety standards suck anyway. The miners that were rescued in China were a rare occurrence, considering about 7 Chinese miners die per day. It's normal over there. Only thing "special" is that those 100 or so were rescued.

Giordano Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 It's damn disgraceful how the Chinese government handles their "businesses". My prayers go for those in both the Chinese and Americans.
