  • Hey, Myslot2.......SCREW YOU!!!!!!!!!

  • @thai1959 the child looks like a stick figure!!! and i bet you are a big fat pig!

  • I hate when people who criticise the chinese like this when theres much worse parents in the west when they too push their children sooo hard, its fucking racist and double standards, this shit has got to stop, i feel like shooting people like cho did.

  • that kid is a running fool

  • she was just running...lol.

  • @NoOne3234 Sure, I used to run 15miles everyday as a teenager and my legs are bent now...I have now had to become a Charley Chaplin impersonator just to make ends meet..I also do a good John Wayne. You're right though 40miles a day may harm her physically but I bet she benefits massively from these early adventures..financially and mentally and in many way physically and mentally as well as financially....probably!

  • @AlexZanda I've run a lot in my life and I've known some pretty obsessive runners. They say things like that and then they get hurt from running too much. 40 miles a day is not reasonable mileage for an eight year old. If the kid says otherwise, a good parent would intervene. Bad things happen from running that much when that young.

    For a good reference point, a respectable high school CC runner puts in <58 miles a week.

  • @EmilMaltha I believe she said..."I like running, it makes me happy" with a massive grin on her face.

  • i would "abuse" my child than letting them become obese couch potato

  • we do translation and you can select Asian women lushfmlk.info
