Right, I get that. What I don't get is how China became so populated with a one child policy on top of the abortions, trafficking, and killing of girl babies. Not to mention the amount of pollution they have there. This alone should've shortened people's lives.
Silly you. The population was #1 in the world well before the 'one child only' policy. Moreover, how well do you think this is enforced? I tend to think that it is a very leaky bucket.
OK, true. You got me on all those points. I couldn't imagine living in a country that crowded, and the nasty stuff they eat. What won't they eat, is the question.
This is true. A long time ago, I remember talking to a Chinese American Christian in the school library. She told me about the plight of Christians there in China. She validated some of the information I was already reading about. What really struck me though was when she talked about cannibalism in China. The subject came out of the blue. I was amazed she mentioned this. She said that it existed in the back country areas. Yes, she said the people are very poor and baby girls are not desirable to the family. When I showed my distaste and disgust in hearing this, I wondered aloud how any one could eat their own children. She said that it is based on Chinese ancestral traditions. She told me that many Chinese customary dances were really based on ritual human sacrifices and that the dances reenact and commemorate this.
