Gas explosion in Chinese mine

Accountable Government only comes from Democratic election.

If a Government never has to pass the election test it will never rise to the standard required to properly run it's country.

Democracy is not the western way forward.

It 's the only way.

Wake Up China.

successful democracy depends on an educated electorate, otherwise they will likely elect incendiary populists or religious leaders like the Hamas...or Bush...or Palin

[BCT071]

I don't think it matters who gets elected so long as they know that in 4 or 5 years their job will depend upon how well they have served the people.

Systemic corruption from the one party model runs counter to the ideals of a nation looking forward.

No big loss I hope every coal miner gets blown up in a mine explosion. China is destroying the earth with their filthy coal energy. Their pollution reaches the whole world and they build two new dirty coal plants a week. Countries like China are killing the earth to satisfy their infinite greed.

I'm Chinese and I hate those fucking mine owners, who only care about how much money they make every year, they just dont give a fuck about the ppl working there. And i fucking hate the people who r supposed to supervise this mine, motherfucka

From an American gold miner ... our thoughts and prayers are with all of those injured and still trapped beneath the earth ... to the families awaiting their loved ones ... be patient and never let there be a loss of hope. To China ... IMPROVE YOUR SAFETY MEASURES AND STANDARDS NOW FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR PEOPLE WORKING IN THERE !!!!!

From a personal victim of the LG company:

Mining is not the only area that they should improve their safety measures. Thousands are dieing each year because of low quality Chinese products. It is a fact and it is the time that world stands up against them.

AVOIDING RESPONSIBILITY is the first reason that some people deny the existence of God.

[jrubin22]

what? It's the religious people who categorize this as "God's will". Every person has the power of creation and destruction.

You seem very passionate about it, and you are wrong. That is always a scary combination.

[momenabdulla]

But the religious people also categorize the punishment ensuing all these crimes as "God's will". On the other hand the atheists governing china categorize this as the will of their eternal god of "probability". I wonder of god of probability can bring any life after death?

[jrubin22]

It would be a better world if people would do the right thing here and stop worrying about the after life. If you only do good here for 'eternal reward', then your motivation is Greed and God's probably smart enough to figure that out.

So you suggest we stop thinking of the billions and billions of years coming and instead focus on the fraction of time which lasts only for some years? Do you really think it is a good option?

[jrubin22]

You believe your ...consciousness/soul/whatever is going to be around for billions and billions of years?

I've heard of big egos.... but that's just plain nutty :)

[momenabdulla]

So you believe that all these millions of years of evolution will end up in the most complex object,brain,and then that brain will simply decay for ever?

No man. All of us have been around for billions of years.If you define us a collection of information, then you should also include the info inside genes,which is there for billions of years.

After our birth we acquire much more info inside our brains.

Why the info inside our genes should have a chance of eternal life but not the info of brain?

[jrubin22]

What info? My grandfather spoke 4 languages, I only speak one. I wasn't born knowing how to drive or type or read or dress or kiss. Have you seen what happens to children raised by dogs (happened in Russia not too long ago)? Genetically, we pass physical info on to offspring w/ an urgency we know of as 'sex drive' but info is 'nurture' not nature. Yes, we are star dust, but our individuality and consciousness is, sadly, finite. All the more reason to make it as pleasant as possible :)

[momenabdulla]

What info? The info of how to discern between objects. The info of to avoid fire. All our instincts are some type of info. And they are as large as the number of genes. "All the more reason to make it as pleasant as possible ".

Why? Because even you believe that the EXPERIENCE of pleasure lasts forever. Other wise why you want to enjoy? When the taste of that enjoyment will not last forever?

echo that completely !
