I Wish ...humanity Changes

Since 2014, the subreddit has been steadily growing and bringing our attention to the devastating things happening around us. From gruesome crimes to minor injustices, the community is dedicated to showing how bad our world can get. As the moderators say, “Lament with us as we view all things that are just genuinely awful.”
Sadly, we have a tendency to dwell on the things that go wrong and use stronger words to describe them. When it comes to the positive or neutral incidents, they seem to be not as important. Just think about negative stereotypes—humans are quick to form bad impressions and often have a hard time changing their views.
Poor Guy :(
These stories break my heart, they really do. So many people, SO MANY, are just one illness away from this happening to them. Our government has utterly failed us.
The Fact That This Is So Common Is Heartbreaking
This fcked up practice was common in India too, until a few years back (and still is in many backward stereotype uneducated families)

Sneaky sexism right there. The headline makes it sound like it was this woman's choice.
Yup but as a woman you know that is never a happy and easy choice, at least. So we tend to not judge when we see "aborbtion" in a sentence. Aaaaand I've read here something about how sentences are turned to never ever put the blame on men.

I'm thinking it must be difficult to prove that he was forcing her? It is horrible though and I'm angry that he is not punished!

Boy favoritism is an abomination to this planet. For instance, there's a reason lots of orphanages in China are (or used to be) filled with predominantly girls, and the boys that were in there were often handicapped.
"Husband forces wife to go through 4 abortions in a year because they haven't concieved a boy. Wife dies after the last one". There. I fixed it for you. Stop f*****g shifting the blame on women and start focusing on the true douchebags
There are no words. What was she to him? A baby factory? But can he even be prosecuted for this? I hope it is a crime. It should be a crime.
There's an over abundance of men in China bc of choosing male births. Imagine how many women have been put through this. None of it is by choice. Either they're forced or they are shamed into it. The families w money can pick the sex of their babies now too they will always choose boys.

That poor woman. I wish her husband could be prosecuted for her death.
@debrina I mean, if they were wanted by the mother, I think it should count as murder for the potential of the life taken. I'm pro-choice and believe it's all in the CHOICE. If a person wants the fetus and it is taken from them by force, there should be consequences. But it is not a person.

The abortions are better than 4 unwanted girls and a boy, sad but true. The world is badly overpopulated with humans.
This is why revealing the gender before baby's born ( even to the parents) is a crime in India..
After several generations of this nonsense wouldn't people get that there is a darth of women? Dumb. Just dumb.
I've never understood being sexist, racist, homophobic, etc. Seriously, we all get <100 years to live and you spend your time minding other people's business for them? You think I chose to be born a girl? No. Who birthed you!? A girl! 🙄
No, have his tiny deformed shriveled "d**k" chopped off and forever lost.

Just wait until he finds out that it's the sperm that determines gender...
Part of the massive problem with gang rape in India is the fact that since the development of fetal ultrasound, many people used them to abort female children in favor of male children. This has skewed the population so that there are not enough women in many parts of India to provide wives to the men. Unintended consequences suck large.
And clearly not using birth control, instead getting pregnant on purpose and she dies over something the male portion of the pregnancy is responsible for.
To be fair: that would be a really clunky headline. That part fits much better in the opening paragraph
Dear God! He should be charged with medical fraud! Premeditated trauma to his wife he planned which caused physical injury and or death
Don't know where this took place - birth control or hit the road Jack or mom!
Is this true? Oh my god! This is heartbreaking. Where can I read or hear more about this story? What was her name? It's unreal that a doctor would be willing to abort on the grounds that a dad just wanted a son. How did the mother feel about it? If she wanted to keep the child and a doctor did this at the dad's request. That's just wrong.
... because in China, you're only allowed one child. Let's not wipe out the effect of totalitarian, Communist China.
And it’s the man’s sperm that decides the gender. But what does he know.
When a culture limits the number of children you can have, and the same culture only values one gender, it's not surprising that this happened a lot. What also happened is that the people who couldn't access abortions, safe or otherwise, would take their girl babies out into the forest, fields or woods and either leave them or bury them alive. I have read heartbreaking and horrific stories.
Ultrasounds. So, the unborn babies would have had to be far along enough to be able to tell, and, going by my 4 month ultrasound and told it was too early to tell the sex of my baby, these would have been late term abortions.

I feel sorry for her but abortion is murder he not only murdered for babies but his wife also!!! Why would any woman let a man have this much power over her? And why are we letting the government have this much power over us? Wake up America!!!!!!
Some women live in cultures where they are still controlled by men in many ways, some women are abused by these men and are afraid. Don't blame the victim, blame the system that allows this and the men who continue to do it. Also, this particular story did not occur in America. Finally, why ARE we letting our government have so much power over us - looking at you Texas - because abortion should still be a woman's choice, not the government's.

So are you heartbroken that four innocent babies died? Or that a woman wasn't able to kill five innocent babies?
You're not very bright. Any medical procedure carries risks. People have even died during dental procedures. Just because you have a hard time believing something doesn't mean that it's not true.

This headline is a lie and anti abortion propaganda. You people don’t even try to think. If they know the gender of the baby then it’s after four months. A year doesn’t have sixteen months and an abortion can’t kill you even if you get 100. Trash.
This isn't true. Unsafe abortions then yes it's damaging. Multiple surgical abortions can cause scar tissue and it also depends on the person but three in a lifetime is not damaging it is a safe procedure.

Even if some of us have a rather optimistic view of life, people still remember more details about their unpleasant experiences. “The brain handles positive and negative information in different hemispheres,” Clifford Nass, a professor of communication at Stanford University, told The New York Times.
He said that negative emotions generally involve more thinking, and the information is processed more thoroughly than positive ones.
Psychologists refer to this as the negativity bias. Picture it: you’re having a pleasant day at work until your coworker throws you an inconsiderate comment. When you come back home, what will you remember more—the overall good day or the remark?
We Are All Spolied
Richest Country
Roy Baumeister, a social psychologist and co-author of The Power of Bad: How the Negativity Effect Rules Us and How We Can Rule It, said that it’s one of the most basic psychological principles that seems to be true everywhere.
“A mind is prone to overreact to negative things relative to positive things; so people can use this to manipulate us, or we can use this to manipulate other people,” he explained. “If we understand this, we can prevent some of the negative effects and improve the quality of our social life.”

The Power Of Hate
There are so many great folks left out of history. Leprosy used to be a disease that would kill or maim so many people through history until a 23-year old black chemist named Alice Ball came up with a cure in 1915. Unfortunately she died the next year due to an accident. Who knows what she could have accomplished? https://scientificwomen.net/women/ball-alice-121
John Tierney, a journalist and the other co-author of this book, mentioned that the reason why we focus more on bad news is probably that it is aimed at the general public. “And the things that affect everyone tend to be negative—we’re all afraid of dying; we’re all afraid of being hurt. Focusing on those shared concerns is the easiest way to reach a mass audience.”
However, people on social media tend to share stories that are more pleasant. “That’s because the positive things we’re interested in—our hobbies, our cultural interests, the books we read—are more idiosyncratic,” he added. “Curating your news feed so that you’re not seeing so many negative stories can be good.”
Everything About This
Understanding and noticing our tendency to dwell on the negativities in life should help us to recognize that things are usually not as bad as we think. While it is important to share and discuss the problems we face in today’s world, it’s also vital to balance it out with the good stuff. So if you’re feeling a bit down, we’ve got you covered. Just take a look at some of our most recent wholesome posts here and right here.

It almost seems like American cops would rather work with rapist, abusers, murderers, corruption, and brutality in their force. Than becoming those who fight against it. People like in the pictures above should be celebrated and become the norm. But hey.. what do I know.
Just Awful
Sadly female upon male abuse is rarely seen and even worse, rarely stopped because not many believe it happens. I have a friend with lasting brain damage from being abused by his wife and daughter. He ended up having part of his brain removed. It does happen, but not many believe, let alone catch it. Most think the woman is the victim.

All this stuff about the. price of insulin makes me so mad because the insulin patent from was originally sold for $1 with the understanding that cheap insulin would become available to all. For a long time the price of insulin was reasonable, retailing for $24 a vial in 1996. But due to no price controls the price has skyrocketed in the U.S. in the past couple years, because apparently the thought process is ‘why not gouge sick people?’ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5001219/

Well, I'm more thoroughly depressed now than when I started, so thanks for that.
If it helps you to feel better, in 2021 there have been great medical breakthroughs and treatments to help beat cancers, alzheimers, diabetes. Plus there have been great strides in ocean cleanup recently. It's a hard pill to swallow, but helps to be aware of horrific things in order to stop it. Progression in humanity isn't always beautiful and quite a dirty job.

Stuff like these are the reason why I'll never bring kids into this miserable world!
I have great grandkids. By the time they get to my age, there will no longer be a United States because we will violently implode from the inequality we see here today. Such a shame and so sad for words. There should be no First Amendment rights when you promote a lie. Liars such as Trump should be in jail for slander and libel. And broadcasters, such as Fox News should not be allowed to blatantly lie and should be shut down immediately. And then I woke up
Honestly, you'll be lucky if your kids make it to your age before everything implodes, never mind younger generations.

I have never read so many this comment is hidden on BP as in this! I dont know but I may assume that some of my comments will be slated as such but one must defend the underdog a all costs!
I had a medication that I needed to function that cost $25 per pill. I was supposed to take 2 pills per day, but I managed okay if I took 4 pills every 3 days. There were a couple of times when we had to decide whether we would pay for my medicine or the mortgage. There was a class action suit, and I got 12% of that money back. Over $8,000. The medicine is modafinil, by the way.
I always lose faith in humanity when I read these because they are so universal. We have many of the same problems and the corruption runs deep within the system. Imagine following all the right steps but still having to pay to get the end product.
I can't keep going. This is a very upsetting article. It doesn't mean you shouldn't keep publishing them, though. I wish you all peace and love. Xxx

I have a story to add: So, we left my abusive father, he was high on drugs all the time, hit me, emotionally and mentally abused my mom and me, lied and endangered my brother and I. Well, once we left, he continued to harass us and show up at our house, drive by to scare me. We called the police, we got restraining orders, everything, yet the police never enforced the orders. Eventually the judge said he wasn't going to give us anymore. My mom got remarried and my father didn't like that. He drove by our new house, sent threatening texts and FB messages, sat outside our house while my brother nad I were there alone. I called the cops many times. Sometimes they never even showed up. My father wanted to kill us. He had said it in messages, on phone calls. Even told me how he would kill my stepdad. Yet the police still did nothing. I pretty much lost my faith in the legal system then. Anyways, thanks for coming to my TEDTalk
What I learned from this thread: The US healthcare system is a dumpster fire and most (not all) police officers abuse their power, got it 👍. All jokes aside, I really hate how most people are so greedy and self absorbed that the people who are actually good and helping society are suffering because of it :(
Now I want to fight humanity is it possible, how do I do it, and should I do it?

Obviously I'm not saying it's the only place this s**t applies to but it's shocking how many of these are well known to happen in USA. How anyone can claim it's the best country in the world with a straight face is beyond belief. The healthcare system is insane, I mean here insulin is free but all prescriptions are in Scotland, but England still charges something like £10 for prescriptions still give insulin for free. I couldn't even imagine being in a situation where I had to refuse treatment due to the cost. The system in USA is completely broken and folk need to open their eyes to the sad fact it's actually one of the worst
