do we have it good here in the US? yea but that doesnt make us blinded. common sense does not come from education ... hence it being called common sense. a cat sticks its nose in a candle once and gets burned ... that cat is going to be very leary of anything fire from then on. That's basic common sense, if a cat can have it so can someone in a hut who lives in china with an oppressive govt. it's a sense of survival ... and if you dont have it or are too stupid to at least listen to it then i have no pity for you.
as for people standing on a podium and talking ... there is non better on here than you because everytime there is a thread like this your first response is well you're all american and dont know anything about the rest of the world.
Where the fuck did i even mention American???
Its common sense to realize that you can't take out a tumor with mikeshift witchcraft and it's common sense to put up ramps or a pouli system instead of stairs in order to move buckets of rocks up to a 3rd level. It's common sense to not threatened people you're beggin money from and it's common sense to not kill the lizards you're trying to sell as a pets. It's common sense to not take a shit, throw dead bodies, throw your trash in the same river you drink from, clean your clothes and worship as sacrade. Unfortuantly these are all things that i know first hand that some people in the world do not have the "common sense" that you think is so innate.
It's easy as fuck saying : "they should've had better contructions, thye sould move somewhere where earthquakes are less frequent, they should build a damn, it's their fault."
You really need to step out of your little close minded life and see how most of the world lives. How 2 countries in the world has 30% of the population and how most of those 30% are ignorant just surviving people trying to live and don't know shit about anything. It's barelly human to let these people live like that and it's just plain stupid to say shit like "just buil a dam" or "move somewhere else".
