Man and Two Children Killed by Glass Coated Kite String in India

a reply to: slider1982

No, I've seen that and understand it happens, but everyone criticizes the kite string as if it's totally bizarre when folks are running around doing that.

In other words, we are judging from our own first world sanitized view of life where our biggest problems involve wondering which victim group status ranks higher on the PC hierarchy for purposes of determining who should take offense.

What a strangly bizzare thing to happen. I have never heard of Kite fighting
Here is a video that kinda gives a quick story

Are you REALLY trying to compare our right to bear arms, the US 2nd amendment, with kite fighting? Hilarious. I just love watching you guys…you try so hard.

any time any type of decapitation, throat slitting, body slicing, is mentioned, that is exactly what I think of. Thank you mom and dad for letting me watch that...................

What were kids doing looking out of sun roofs?

Isn't that like sticking your body parts out of the open windows of the car and simply something you should not do?

There are no car safety rules for children in that sh!thole country of India.

In India it's not uncommon to see children or adults sticking their heads out of

train windows even whilst approaching narrow tunnels, it makes one

wince in case they don't get them inside the carriage quick enough!


They also have family outings (couple and two children) on one scooter!

I guess you have not done any third world traveling??..

The put toddlers on the handlebars of motorcycles here in south east Asia, all whilst carrying a further 3 people on the Pillion seat, and do not even ask about helmets.

The roads in India are manic ..... not much in the way of road markings either.

Whilst touring in India I quizzed my driver about driving tests licences etc. and

he replied. "You only needed two requirements for driving in India, good brakes

and good luck!

The sides of the roads are also littered with pertinent road signs/advice many of

which I wrote down somewhere, one I can recall from memory goes >>

**Better to be Mr. Late, than the late Mr.**

Lop lop lop....lop lop lop...lopped their heads off.. lopped their heads off..(sang to the tune of shake your booty)

I swear how STUPID do you have to be to put your head OUTSIDE the vehicle? it sad but hey accidents happen.
