It's the same thing when people see that 10 people, including children, died in a car crash and barely feel anything but then hear about a dog that got caught in a street cleaner and died instantly and feel absolutely terrible for that dog. For some reason animals invoke more sympathy. Now, obviously this wasn't the case here (he probably wanted to win some more cock fights) but I'm just saying that this isn't very common. Maybe it's something I don't understand though as I don't actually have kids. maybe its because animals are seen as more innocent creatures and humans are seen as inherently guilty and/or sinful/flawed. Christian upbringing will tell you man is born with sin in him. Its a collective unconscious thing. Or maybe its related to a safety distance. Its safe to feel terrible about a dog because it isn't as close to you psychologically as another human being. when actual humans die, a numbing effect occurs because it's threatening to the psychological feeling of safety and longevity of you as a person when one of your own kind bites it. In other words, a defense mechanism. Same with puns/jokes about terrible events. people think 9/11 jokesters are awful people, and they're dealing with the change in their reality that they are vulnerable and easily killed people in their own way. Of course still some people are just sociopaths. | ||

Honestly, the thing that is the matter with this world is how many children he had in the first place. 13..? What the hell man. Children dying in a fire is obviously horrible, but in the grand scheme of things, population growth needs to be cut down. Sorry if I sound terrible, but chickens will never cause a global imbalance. | ||

I guess I just don't understand how someone would save an animal before their own children. Did a search didnt see it on TL boards. Its actually really simple. The Philippines is an extremely poor country and the roasters were worth more than the children. Had he not rescued them, his family may have all been alive, but for how long without the roasters as a source of income? You shouldn't be so quick to judge others without understanding their situation. Not to mention he had 13 kids, odds are he didn't even care about them all that much. Their culture is different and something you probably won't ever be able to understand fully. Not that I think it's right. | ||

Horrible thing that happened, hope it wasn't intended, but even if it was, in ways people should be able to understand. | ||

Could have been the hardest thing he ever did I said not to judge the culture, not that they couldn't judge his actions. It's fine to judge someone but only if you can actually understand their circumstances. It's also fair to say that a person that says this: "They were the ones who were taking care of them up there, why am I the one you're accusing?" About saving his own children, probably didn't care too much about them. His entire defense was "It wasn't my responsibility to save them". Someone who cared about his children, wouldn't pass the blame of their death to the surviving children, now would they? | ||
