Aims I was like that after last Christmas (one of the reasons I give up the booze). Not saying you drink too much - it was just the impetus for me. TBH though - we had bought some 'cheap ' wine (several boxes) - I think there was something very dodgy about it. Did me a favour really.

I saw a video last night that shocked me and made me very angry and very sad. I'm not posting it here as i really dont think it appropriate. It was CCTV footage of 2yr old little girl in china (i think) being run over twice and people just walking past and leaving her there! Poor poor little girl. Facebook apparently pulled the video as i suspect youtube might have too.

I've seen that before Jen - it was heartbreaking. I really couldn't believe it when I saw that.

 

Mind you I remember watching a (secretly filmed) documentuary in China some years ago called The Dying Rooms - it had me sobbing. It's unbelievable how some 'lives' in some cultures are simply deemed worthless.

Yes - it was something to do with the law that in some areas parents coiuld only have one (or two) children by law. They only wanted boys so the girls were taken to 'orphanages' - the little baby girls were put in cots (five or six together) wrapped in blankets - bottles simply propped into their mouths and then ignored - they just let them die. There was no love/no care. NOTHING - they simply died away through neglect one after the other.

 

We wouldn't treat animals like that. It was one of the most horrible/terrible things I have ever seen on TV. I've never forgotten it.

Yes I know - that's what makes it even worse. A friend of my niece has adopted two little Chinese girls and they are such a delightful/happy family. It's lovely to see.
