That’s not the first time ive seen such passiveness in Chinese people, in life threatening situations. Probably the result of decades of communist indoctrination.
I do not think that it is passivness. Also I do not think they just “walked away”. From what I saw, it seemed they fled away in terror.
As @McWonderBeast pointed out the poeple there had no training and therfore they were not mentaly prepared for this kind of situation.
So what we saw there is exactly this, mental unpreparedness. Because they knew what to do (pull her out) but as they were not prepared, the instinct did not turn into resolve, will gave a way and with it the muscles and poor mother is dead.
Good article.
I won’t dispute whether it is or is not hard to shoot a lion. However, the more important part is conservation. Standard fee for shooting a lion is North of €15.000. This is the money that goes to the range owner and to the local population that works for the range owner to keep the number of animals high so that in turn they get more profit from them being killed.
Without that the rising populations would use the area for grazing domestic animals. Grazing animals doesn’t go well neither with wild grass eating animals neither with predators that would be killing livestock.
Without things like lion hunting, lions would soon end up the same like large predators in Europe. It is the economy of hunting which makes it more profitable to have lions in the reserve rather than sheep and cows.
Downloading movies from internet is legal here. Only uploading them (making them accessible) is illegal. Why would you pay for something you can get for free? (I still don’t understand Windows users in the world where Linux exists).
Riding metro every day, I can’t escape them. And until your ride one on Prague metro, you don’t know what a long escalator is. This is the longest one, I ride it at least twice a day every day:
People never realize the buttons are there. When a tourist trips at the end the others just keep piling and piling until someone sitting by the cameras stops it, the people around never push the button.
The same when someone falls on the rails. Everyone jumps to the rescue/possible death but nobody pushes the emergency button stopping all incoming traffic.
We just had 3 dead on a train because idiot driver left a truck on rail crossing. Had he pushed the gate, it would also automatically stopped all incoming trains.
People are just too lazy to think before hand, and when SHTF, it is too late. (which is, IMHO, also the reason why so few carry a gun).
It isn’t so much about the fact he killed the lion, it is more about the fact he poached him.
I can imagine her shouting while her legs were grinded, then lower torso, until her lungs were crushed.
As a gamer (in some way this word sounds to me pretty ugly) I use windows. It is more convinient.
It is similar to: “PC master race vs Console peasants” thing. Console is just more convinient same as windows is, comparing to Linux.
Also you make it sound like you have to pay for windows to use it. What a funny idea.
But I believe that Netflix could have a chance here from the same reason. But it all depends on the price.
Never heard of this before but I think you keep skipping over this 
“It was reported that 28 Iraqi Army Abrams had been damaged in fighting with militants, five of them suffering full armor penetration when hit by ATGMs”
Very surprising though that one was penetrated . Likely to be a fault with that particular tank when you look at the fact another challenger 2 took 70 direct hits differing in location and suffered zero damage .
The Iraqis have also lost a good amount agaisnt ISIS Some being destroyed and many being captured . About one third of what you have them has now been captured or destroyed . Fucking shocking really on the Iraqi part . Gifted some of the best kit available and they just give it away to the enemy
That’s what we get for giving our tanks to incompetent fucking retards. 
Guarantee you its a result of them being idiots and not a design flaw with the tank. And Abrams were used far more heavily than challengers were. Not to mention the Abrams were damaged from rear shots, and this challenger took a frontal shot and was penetrated.
Well the fact that they tried so hard to cover it, makes you wonder if this hasn’t happened more often.
Yes but they reacted the same way to the U.S teenager who was legally hunting big game in Africa, she donated the meat to villages and the money went to conservation. She got death threats, the media slandered here, and people wanted her kicked out of the U.S. Everyone was up in arms saying they were going to lynch her.
Even if the dentist had killed the lion legally all these people would still be crying their eyes out about it.
I saw Jimmy Kimmel fucking crying on his show about the fucking lion. The way he reacted, you would think he lost his best friend and knew the lion his whole life.
The world has gone fucking mad.

Mind sharing a video, he wasn’t crying in the one I watched.
He faked getting choked up for few seconds, but there is no crying.
(sigh) choked, up crying, what ever. He was getting all emotional over a fucking lion.
It was clearly not genuine, if you know anything about stage acting its easy to tell.
Everyone is overacting and overacting to everyone elses overreacting.
All life is sacred period, the fact that people are suggesting the Dentist be killed are insane.
couldn’t agree more . its as much down to the crew as it is the tank itself .

[/quote] indeed but the challenger has driven away from every IED strike (of which there were many ) where as the abrams has not .
but it would be fair to say an abrams could take out a challenger 2 and a challenger 2 would be able to take out an abrams . thankfully the two sexy beasts are on the same side 
i doubt it . and it wouldnt surprise me if the US does the same thing .
you dont want the enemy knowing such things . if you report your tank has been penetrated by a RPG-29 mid way through a war you can bet your arse alot more RPG-29 attacks would be taking place . so yes better to keep it quite until your aware of it being a fault with the armour on that particular tank or if its a much wider issue in which case the armour need upgrading ( as we did when the driver lost part of his foot in an IED strike )
Naw, Im tired of it.
Really, I’m glad it got closed, because now I don’t have to deal with a certain assclown that started saying stupid crap and would not cease and desist his boundless mental cancer. No matter where I go, every time I see that map get posted, some idiot starts a flame war over it.
I should have posted this, just to see how he would react.
I’ve never been to this thread, actually. Its alternative name should be “A czech, a britbong, and a 'merican walk into a bar”

I’m sure we do. After all would you want to admit that your multi million dollar top of the line military machine can be damaged by primitive weapons? I heard the new Russian T-14 actually broke down in the parade, and they tried to cover it up.
