Re: “Empathy is mostly western thing”
Of course there is crime here but they have laws to punish criminals and to severely deter them. What would be the response of law enforcement here if a molestation was reported. My friend Bridgette’s evil SIL charged her husband with rape and he got the book thrown at him. At least here Kutcher is not being called billi Kawwa. I will watch the video when I get home, thanks for posting it. I don’t want to offend anyone just wanting a discussion.
Re: “Empathy is mostly western thing”
East or West both suck when it comes to empathy, but people in the West could be considered to be a bit more empathic. If the West did not have a empathy problem, we would not see things such as Black Lives Matter, growing hatred towards immigrants and refugees etc.
IF empathy is mostly Western, why is it that attacks and victims in other parts of the world do not receive as much empathy/attention as for example the Paris attacks?
Re: “Empathy is mostly western thing”
People by nature are more empathetic towards their own kind, all the humanitarian aid for Africa and refugees show that there is still a lot of empathy. West is in a double bind, if they attack Assad for killing civilians we cry bloody murder and if we ignore his atrocities we get called un- empathetic. Refugees were welcomed with open arms and the ensuing terror attacks, sexual assaults and our failure to emphatically separate ourselves from extremists and also vociferously denounce them caused the divide. Trillions of dollars are spent trying to keep the population safe here so many will now bear ill will towards us. Kind of hard to feel compassion for people who hate them so violently.
Re: “Empathy is mostly western thing”
Oh come on…
Re: “Empathy is mostly western thing”
Even an unpopular President like Donald Trump broke from his own policy and showed empathy for Syrian civilians killed by Assad and went all out in striking his govt. Good on the west to not let down humanity.
Re: “Empathy is mostly western thing”
Not a western thing
Can be found in any nation
Reason for the lack of it in Middle East or South Asian countries could be intermarriage which passes on the schizophrenia gene
As for African nation’s seems like vulgar customs passed down as culture or poverty
But this is not generalizing, nor am I staying all in these nation don’t have empathy
To each its own

Re: “Empathy is mostly western thing”
lol…you really do eat up the propaganda… the fact that you think this was for “humanity” is laughable..
Finally him saying it was for Humanity is like Bush saying they want to bring Democracy and “freedom” to the middle east, both are lies covering ulterior motives.
Re: “Empathy is mostly western thing”
SPOT ON!! 
Re: “Empathy is mostly western thing”
It was totally against his policy in not interfering in Muslims killing Muslims, the purpose of the attack was a warning to Bashar and not really meant to cause a lot of damage..I am not a fan of the guy but then the worst western leader has more empathy than the best we have. Look at that rat King of Saudia traveling with 500 tonnes of cargo and a gold escalator. It is widely accepted that the attack was based on emotional response to pictures of dead babies.
Didn’t they also blow up dozens of children in a bomb on school buses in Syria, western people will not purposely target babies.
Re: “Empathy is mostly western thing”
Ya..we didn’t mean to kill them they’re just collateral damage? But also what we’ll do is give these terrorists guys weapons and supply them with arms. Our hands are completely clean. What could go wrong? They’ll target the babies for us, and make life a living hell. But we need to work with Saudi Arabia to make sure Bashar falls.
Look, all we are trying to say is nothing as black and white as you think, what you’re referencing about rapes and **** and how ratty ass saudi’s are…i’m sure they are, but there is a bunch of good **** they do that you don’t hear about. The west is just as bad and as good, but they use proxies, PR and hide what they do really well. Everything the U.S has done since the WW2 has been in the best interest of the U.S and the west in cementing U.S Geo-political dominance and hegemony.
Overthrowing the shah, vietnam, combating "communism."I’m pretty sure just on kill count alone the west is pretty up there…Hiroshima…nagasaki? moab?
Just as the west was in the dark ages in the 1400 ages, the east is in the dark ages right now.. There are good and bad people everywhere, empathy is not a western thing. You can reference as many examples as you want, but its a pointless argument to have with a person with strong biases in any which way and subjective morality who values certain atrocities over others just to prove a point on the internet.
Re: “Empathy is mostly western thing”
Maybe facts are biased too, I am talking about empathy in current times. We can’t let extremists take over the world and the world owes the west a gratitude to rid the world of them. What extremists did to Yazidis they would like to do that to everyone. I remember my facebook lit up when west didnt interfere in Aleppo to prevent slaughter and also after a chemical attack. First, we beg for intervention then cry bloody murder when they help.
Rwanda didn’t have modern weapons and yet they hacked babies and women, you don’t need weapons to be a monster.
Oh of course when we slaughter babies and rape women it must be America’s fault, did the Americans pin that Yazidi women down for them? We have choices, we make choices that monsters would make we become monsters.
MOAB was a gift to Pakistan, it killed 94 terrorists and a few commanders. These terrorists would have conducted several heinous attacks on an innocent public.
Re: “Empathy is mostly western thing”
No thats a human thing, in fact thats why humans are known as social animals.
Re: “Empathy is mostly western thing”
west is very empathetic. Not. just ask the natives of the americas. genocide. concentration camps. exile. baby stealing. cultural misappropriation.
bobu je, pick up a book and read, brah. oh wait, you only read “desis guide to sell houses in 5 days”. 
Re: “Empathy is mostly western thing”
If you read the thread I have made it clear that we are talking about current times. We are taught casteism and hatred for fellow human being since birth and that is what leads to lack of empathy. Were you taught manners as a child, to say please and thank you and to show appreciation.
Re: “Empathy is mostly western thing”
oh okay, i thought we were dealing with reality, but you were talking about your tiny little bubble world. i undahstand, pal.
Re: “Empathy is mostly western thing”
If you talk about reality than you might need to deal with millions of babies killed by your culturally proud compadres in gendercide. Should you practice such cultural practices here also?
Female infanticide
Female infanticide is the deliberate killing of girl babies.
It is also described as gender-selective killing or “gendercide”. (Similar words like ‘gynocide’ and ‘femicide’ are used to describe the killing of females of any age.)
Female infanticide is more common than male infanticide, and in some countries, particularly India and China, is likely to have serious consequences on the balance of the sexes in the population.
The reasons behind it are almost always cultural, rather than directly religious.
The causes:
Anti-female bias
Societies that practise female infanticide always show many other signs of bias against females.
Women are perceived as subservient because of their role as carers and homemakers, whilst men predominantly ensure the family’s social and economic stability.
Re: “Empathy is mostly western thing”
nice pivot when you lost the logical argument yet again, bob.
Re: “Empathy is mostly western thing”
You guys killed 45 million female infants and that doesn’t need to be mentioned in lack of empathy?
Re: “Empathy is mostly western thing”
Thats actually so spoton. A lot of people say that the largest merciless robbery is that on the land Palestinians which is now referred as the state of Israel. But I say just check whats still in the modern history. The brutal massacre of Native Americans, rapes, resource grabbing and what not.
Just recently a new book is launched, actually just 4 days back, about systematic murder of the most influential native american family members one after the other, and since they were influential, it was done more cautiously and less mercilessly as compared to normal ones.
Here is the synopsis link of the book:
