Chinese Youth & Society: Drugs, Violence, and Decadence

Chinese gang showing off displaying their tattoos?

An August 28 news article by a journalist from Huashang newspaper received a lot of attention when it was first reposted on NetEase (163.com), and especially after it spread to other major websites like QQ and the Mop BBS forums. It is a story about drugs, violence, and about China’s young people.

[English Translation]

90s young girl reveals many drug use pictures on the internet

This is a cold QQ homepage, pure black colors, white font, decadent expression…its owner is a girl who has just turned 18 years old. Gradually delving into the homepage’s content, a bone-chilling coldness can be felt, surrounding the body.  Drugs, fighting…makes people want to ask: Just what kind of lifestyle dominates this girl’s youth?

“Come see how frightening today’s children are. Not only do they do drugs, they take pictures of it too, and upload them for the public to see.” Last night, a netizen contacted this newspaper, providing a link to a homepage.

Her homepage shocked the netizen

After clicking into the website, I first heard the intense music of a DJ playing in a nightclub, accompanied by the groaning and heavy breathing of a man imitating a woman. Looking further, everything was shocking.

“The room has been booked, the foil placed, the ice pipe prepared. The fire is burning, the ice is running, let’s start, shall we?” This was a caption at the top of the homepage’s front page. From her profile information, her name screen name is “Lost Heart,” she was born in May 1990, only recently turned 18 years old, and her hobby is “tragic weeping.”

Everything she shares about herself only makes one feel heavy and sad.

Graduated From: Jail'Lost Heart' in internet bar on webcam smoking cigarette?

Signature: Decadent, lonely beauty, heartbreaking…. Chose the dark night, chose loneliness, select decadence, doomed to a one person world, I chose degenerate.

In her hobbies, she writes that her best music instrument is the gun, and that she likes “triad/gang/black society violence” movies.

Her pictures include many scenes of drug use and fights

Looking at her pictures, there is a high probability that she did indeed graduate from jail. …Amongst her photos is a “Wanted” picture, the head on which appears to be her’s. Looking at the album’s other directories, everything is shocking.

There are 10 albums in her folders, amongst them two were called “ice” and “high powder, want fashion,” both of which were viewable by the public.

Drugs (kingfen, ketamine), RMB money, cell phones on coffee table.

Inside, we can see some scenes were taken at home, and some scenes were in KTV rooms. In some pictures, there are plates/trays with straws placed on coffee tables, with dozens of small bags of white powder and stacks of hundred RMB notes next to them. Some pictures have pipes with water for filtering the ice and the tubes used to inhale the fumes, with people looking intoxicated. It is said: they are using specialized tools for doing ice. Other pictures include two very young girls sharing a tray using straws to do drugs. Some of these girls doing drugs, in some pictures, are scantily dressed or even naked.

In the other folder named “triad/gang/black society,” the pictures include men with various tattoos on their bodies, in various poses. Some are holding knives or guns pointed at each other, some look like they are fighting, and some pictures show injuries from fights, not a single picture is without violence. Amongst these pictures is a guy “Lost Heart” refers to as “My beloved.” He can also be found doing drugs in many of the other pictures.

Her diary talked about committing suicide

I tried to get in touch with this girl, but I did not receive any replies, so there is no way to understand her inner feelings, we can only see what her QQ diary reveals. Aside from some topics about emotions, her diary has some content like these: “China triad/gang/black society boss name list”, “I am not a virgin, I am simply self-righteous”, “Adult Theatre” and so on. Through some of the content, you can see how she has changed over time (Note: deletions):

2008, May 16

He said on the phone that in two more hours, he can be at my side. I am very excited. Meeting in person is a lot more real than seeing each other over webcam, it feels like we have known each other for so long, I feel like I am the world’s luckiest girl. No matter what happens, no matter how many girls he has, I still believe that when he is in my arms, in his heart is only me. I dare not demand that I am the only girl he likes, only hope to be the one girl has trusts to keep no secrets from, whom he can talk about anything with.

2008, June 23

Life recently has been very tiring, lonely, and helpless. Everyday I go online to find happiness, but where is my happiness? To tell the truth, when I am alone at home, I really want to die, want to disappear forever, never to appear again. I want the whole world to leave me alone.

2008, August 1

Recently several things that happened one after another that have made me numb, hehe, ever since I met him, my life has been as he said: colorful, or as my older sister says, the stuff of movies. Hehe, there is nothing I can do. Once I have chosen, I cannot go back. I will bravely face what comes next, bravely push through. People have to walk so many paths, no one can foresee what will happen next.

I trust him, that he has his reasons for whatever he does, so I will support him. Only after meeting him have I known what is love, and will always remember in my heart. Our unspoken relationship is one only you and I know.

2008, August 14

Never have I smoked until I have gotten dizzy or drank until I wanted to vomit, but yesterday I really drank too much, But it was not intentional, I only wanted to use alcohol to forget some things. But I was wrong, it actually made me hurt more, alone on a bed crying. Without hearing from you, it felt like I had returned to before. It again made me afraid, my world reduced to waiting. Do not know if this kind of waiting, this kind of worry, this kind of fear will last for how long, I only know that I might soon collapse, that soon I can no longer bear it anymore.

Lost Heart and her guy.

The news article is long and continues but mostly about other drug users, doctors, sociologists, parents, police, etc. and what they think, not really about “Lost Heart” anymore.

At one point, however, the journalist talks about the video of Cantonese teenagers beating and humiliating a young girl that I also posted here on chinaSMACK before:Kaiping 7 minutes video - Naked Chinese girl attacked by Cantonese teens.

Another hoax born?

July, the internet had a widespread video known as the “Kaiping seven minutes,” though later it was confirmed that it was just a hoax to attract traffic. This time, there are also netizens who suspect that “Lost Heart’s” drug use and fight pictures published on her QQ homepage are all just a hoax as well.

“Besieged by 10 people’s cruel perversion, the young girl could only choose silence, subjecting herself to those ignorant, arrogant youths ravaging, humiliation, beating, and kicking….” This was the general view of the video that spread on the internet in July, “Kaiping seven minutes.” That video met an internet uproar and netizen outrage, starting up the human flesh search engines to find those brutal students. But ultimately the truth was that it was a malicious hoax made by several children and designed to attract internet visitor traffic.

Bullshit.

Whatever. Anyway, a lot of Chinese netizens responded to this article about young people taking drugs, being violent, and doing other “dangerous, unhealthy, or bad” things.

From Mop:

Today’s youth…sigh~

I am part of the 90s generation. We also have schoolmates that do drugs…they call it “hitting sand.” It is really hard to believe that they have all graduated from high school. While we are rushing towards the future, they have taken a completely different road.

I am also of the 90s generation but look at how good I am. I do not smoke~!
Nowadays, society cannot even be considered messy, it is simply rotten. Who can we blame? Who can we blame???

I support her.
China has too many people. They are contributing. The sooner they die, the less population strain there is on China and on the planet.

Every society has trash!

Chinese gang, shirtless men, ready to fight?

To use a famous saying by white Americans: As long as it is not in my neighborhood, it is none of my motherfucking business.

You are wasting your energy, this kind of person is not worthy of your care and concern…they want to die, right? Then let them do their thing.

What is her QQ number?

This is indeed the current situation in China, decadent young people, corrupt leadership.

That is K, not whatever “V.” If you do not know, do not open your mouth. If you went out to the nightclubs, you would know there is a lot of that stuff.
[The user who posted the article on Mop.com changed some of the words of the article, replacing "ice" with "viper." "K" = king, king fen, or ketamine.]

If the kid is bad, blame the father! If they are going to end up like this, might as well ejaculate on the wall instead!

Damn, too ridiculous, being so blatant is just asking for trouble. She should be more low-key.

Chinese gang/black society/triad drinking beer outside.

Since they are already like this, then they might as well just die…they are still trash if they stay in this world.
These damn black societies all deserve to die, they are the rats harming society…parasites on society. Even in this day and age, they are still getting tattoos, forming gangs, wake up please! A bunch of trash that does not even know who they are!!!

Latest update, this girl’s homepage pictures are definitely real.
In fact, she has a lot of connections!
This girl should be from Jilin province! And has connections with the government.
This girl’s homepage pictures are from some lackey called rui991748.
This person has a homepage at 51.com, and it seems like he has connections wih Jiling province’s government, has done pretty well for himself.

http://home.51.com/home.php?user=rui991748

His homepage speaks for itself: This person is dangerous! …
You can tell from this guy’s homepage his connections there are not those of a normal person’s.

To avoid having this information deleted, everyone quickly spread this and post it onto other websites! Start the human flesh search engines! This kind of degenerate person and those behind him must be found and brought down!
[This poster is suggesting that all black society people can only exist because of corrupt government officials, so they must all be discovered, denounced, and punished.]

All of these pictures are supposedly from the websites of the people involved in this news story. They were found and posted in the the comment on Mop.

From QQ:

Sending her directly to prison would be the right move!

China’s national football team harms life, but you can quit it.
Drugs also harm life, but it is very difficult to quit that.
The above two items suggest that normal people should not try either.

If this was all done just to get people’s attention, then this kind of person is least deserving of sympathy. I am also of the 90s generation, and as a third year college student, I feel sorry for her.

Chinese girl doing ice drug.

I am a 14 year old girl’s parent, I can tell you all that this is real, and as I say this my heart hurts because my daughter has done drugs before, telling me that K powder is not addictive, but I persisted in restraining her. Today’s society has a lot of 13-14 year old girls, boys who are a bit older, I hope everyone can help and not abandon.

Some of those photos must have been copied from other people, right? Today’s kids all like new and stimulating stuff.

If this is real, we should not criticize her so much, we can only use selfless love to help those who need it. Friends, please do not discard those brothers and sisters who have walked the wrong road before or are still walking on the wrong road. Use our love to help them move to the right path, let them once again have life’s hope, and enjoy life’s brilliance.

No matter what, I am still me, keeping my head down, working, lift my head only to look at the wall clock. This other world is very far from me. I will continue in my world, you continue in your world.

I do not know what to think…this kind of person is worthless. Wasting youth, endangering society.

Guys do drugs because of girls, girls do drugs because of guys, if you do drugs, please do not try to find an excuse.

I do not know why decadent, “fei zhu liu“, have all become the word for the 90s generation. Is this the so-called peaceful fashion personality?

Really heart-broken, today’s parents really have no sense of responsibility…

What right you have to criticize? What is wrong with the 90s generation? Under the surface, no one is much better than anyone else.

Boring, all of this stuff is old news. Getting a room and doing drugs is too normal. The reporter who wrote this is pretty out of fashion.

From NetEase:

I am going to faint, something this small can be a headline? Go to a bar these days and 70% of the people are like this. It would be weird if there were less….

Yes! Let war baptize them all once! Let the 90s generation all take the battlefield!

Heh heh…even fooling around is a lifestyle…
Even though you guys think we are human trash…
There is so much you guys do not know…
I am one of the guys with a gun in those pictures…
We are not playing a hoax trying to get attention [with these pictures]…it was just us friends joking around together when we were bored.
Did not think that a reporter would expose us.

This country should stop drugs at the source. As long as there is drug trafficking discovered, those people should be summarily executed. There will no more problems after that.

There are a lot of “fei zhu liu” in the coastal cities. If they do not go to nightclubs or KTVs, then they will go to internet bars. Their homework everyday is to find stimulation. They will try anything. I know people like this, these type of people cannot live out in the open, mainstream society would look down upon them. Vanity and an inexhaustible void is what occupies their mind.

Just a few days ago I fucked a 17 year old girl~~it felt great!!!

This kind of human trash might as well just die. They are just wasting air.

In the suburbs of Guilin, K powder has already become a type of fashion! A lot of young people are all snorting it! It is no longer a secret! K powder are all 80s and 90s young people! Really! It is already uncontrollable…I am really afraid what it will be like in a few years!!

You do not know how crazy the kids of the 80-90s generation are! Go to the nightclubs and see, drugs and sex, they have played everything!

Young Chinese girls performing lesbian sex acts on webcam.

Regardless, their life is in their hands. Black society is fine, white powder is fine, no one can stop you from happily destroying your own life.

This is so common! The reporter is so out of touch with reality! Just go to a nightclub after 9pm and you will find plenty of this kind of trash…

Everyone be careful when visiting a prostitute, avoid getting AIDS.

Today’s reporters are so bored, they make something as trivial as a fart sound like an alien invasion.

Who said the Kaiping 7 minute video was a hoax? This reporter dares to publish articles without even doing his basic homework?!

Her diary revealed suicidal thoughts .
I think it would be better if she did commit suicide, as that would actually contribute more to society.

    Sad. Not surprising, I suppose. All modern countries are heading this way more and more and obviously it is only a small element but it is still sad to see.

    • Leo

      You know what?

      I got 3 words for you:

      BOO FUCKIN’ HOO!

      Stuff like this is happening everywhere among today’s youth, we already know that.
      But I swear I have no time for these poser morons.
      Who the hell takes pictures while shooting up? Real hardcore, guys.

      Oh right, so your boyfriend doesn’t love you…woe is me.
      Suck it up you little dick. When I was your age I was working my ass off in a shitty job trying to earn a decent living and support my family.

      Ugh, when people…
      I ain’t even mad. We should just let these idiots ruin their own lives. Just don’t disturb the people who actually try to stay sober despite having an even worse homelife than YOU, worse problems than YOU, all the same shit that gets thrown at you in life.
      Everday innocent people are being killed because of the drug industry. Mothers, fathers, children are being robbed from their loved ones because some shitheads in this world can’t get their act together.

      Always trying to get sympathy. I have zero empathy for 98% of drug addicts, especially spoilt little brats like these kids who can easily afford to get wasted and think they can act all badass because they’re in ‘gangs’.
      Trash, absolute trash.

      PS Her boyfriend is a douche, but a hot one, I’ll give you that.

    Well, on the bright side, if that group beating video really was just a hoax, at least there aren’t any legal problems, right? LoL.

    Okay, I’m sorry. That was terrible. I didn’t say that.

  • Rick in China

    So…it has been revealed that there is, *surprisingly*, similar youth culture in a minority of Chinese youth as pretty much every other place on earth? Whoa, I thought this was the land of lollypops and fairies. Hopefully gov’t or private organizations can acknowledge that and, as a result, create some programs to help deter as many as they can through their difficult teenage years.

  • http://www.cnreviews.com Kai

    @ Rick in China:

    Judging by the comments, it sounds like quite a few people aren’t that *surprised* by this. I also think the full original article actually covers what government and social efforts are being made.

    In my experience, this stuff is reasonably widespread, though definitely still in the minority. Most Chinese cannot afford to be this stupid.

  • Veer Left

    How could we be surprised? It’s normal that a segment of society be a ‘bit different’. Some of the readers need to get out a bit more…
    I’ve seen huge rails being done on a VIP table in Shenzhen, crushed X snorted in Hainan, and Coke done in Shanghai, …etc,etc
    And I am NOT a drug user either, I’m just not a recluse/blindman.

  • drugs

    that DIY pot is kinda cut……just kidding
    what you gonna do…..they are wasting their own lives
    one day they will regret
    scums sometimes are overwhelming……

    but not surprised to see all these at all……

    Yuck, I think this is just crazy. But not just in China, I’m sure this happens in other places in the world.

  • Rick in China

    @Kai
    If you think the majority of people (or even many) in China are of the same mindset or understanding of Chinese pop culture as those who would post on a board such as this (in English at that), I don’t think I can help you.

    The “full article” wasn’t included in the translation on this post – I suppose – but I’d be interested in reading a translation of what sort of genuine efforts the gov’t has engaged in.

  • http://www.cnreviews.com Kai

    @ Rick,

    I’m not sure if there’s a misunderstanding between us but I want to acknowledge that there might be.

    That said, I’m not sure what you think you need to help me with.

    I’m not sure why you think I “think the majority of people (or even many) in China are of the same mindset or understanding of Chinese pop culture as those who would post on a board such as this (in English at that).” Frankly, I have no idea what you’re responding to or what statement you’re trying to make with that.

    So, being rather confused as to what you’re going on about, I’ll just reiterate what I was trying to say in my previous response to you:

    1. Judging by the translated comments of Chinese netizens responding to the above translated news article, it certainly appears that many (not all nor most) people in modern China are aware of the phenomena described: drug use, promiscuity, violence, etc. amongst the youth. Your previous comment seemed to imply that you think many Chinese are shocked or *surprised* by this news article. I think many are, just because they’re not aware, but I know for a fact that many are not…again, evidenced by the above. One of the great things about the internet in China is that it has indeed exposed more Chinese to what happens in China and Chinese society.

    2. I stated that there was more in the full article simply because 1) you said you hope private organizations and the government in China can develop programs to combat/deter such behaviors amongst the youth, and 2) the article does indeed go on to discuss more about how the rest of society sees and deals with such behaviors. I thought mentioning that was a reasonable logical response to your comment. I just wanted to, you know, throw it out there in case you weren’t aware. Now that you are aware, you can go about finding a translation of the full article or do a search on the English versions of many Chinese news websites. They certainly have articles covering such phenomena and what the government and people have done, are doing, or plan to do about it. You hoped they would do something, I merely confirmed that they are doing stuff. The rest is up to you, including believing me…though I don’t think anything I said is particularly questionable.

  • Rick in China

    @Kai
    The reason I replied is your reply to my comment seemed to be without meaning, trying to ‘stir’ something up out of nothing. Even in your 2nd reply, you’ve contradicted yourself, huh? “You think many are shocked” “I think many are” Well, thanks for that well-thought out insight, I’m infinitely more sensitive to the issues at hand. Also, “many are not” is what, tens? hundreds? thousands? I didn’t count how many comments were on the entire chains of threads and how many were of the tone “yeh, it’s common these days”, however, I don’t think that it represents a significant faction of the population. Not something that can be backed up with fact either way…not that I’d even want to bother discussing that with you if it were.

    Now, for a moment of zen:
    “Your previous comment seemed to imply that you think many Chinese are shocked or *surprised* by this news article. I think many are, just because they’re not aware.” < They’re shocked because they’re unaware, wow…that is, so, deep.

  • http://www.cnreviews.com Kai

    @ Rick:

    I did not contradict myself nor was I trying to stir anything up, at least nothing remotely close to your initial comment or even current attitude. I suggest you re-read and read carefully, while losing your douchebag tone of voice.

    I stated that you think many are shocked. This is what I gathered from your initial comment. Was I wrong?

    Next, I said “I think many are” which express a limited agreement. Let me spell this out for you since your continued and unwarranted hostility is grating: “I think many [Chinese] are [surprised], just because they’re not aware [of these social phenomena], but I know for a fact that many are not [surprised]…again, evidenced by the above [comments that show no surprise].” Now, you seem to get it in your “moment of zen” so tell me, what is the contradiction you refer to? Did you figure it out after first accusing me of a contradiction but failed to go back and edit out your earlier lack of understanding?

    Now, I may not be perfect when it comes to constructing sentences, but if you took the time to read in the interest of understanding instead of trying to find fault, you probably would’ve understood that adequately through context. I even clearly acknowledged that there may be a misunderstanding. I don’t know why you’ve got a stick up your ass but you seem intent on furthering it [that misunderstanding].

    “Many” implies an amount substantial enough to warrant recognition. It was the appropriate word for my point. You, on the other hand, do not think there is a “significant ‘faction’ of the population.” That’s fine. Perhaps we run in different circles, we interpret the frequency of those comments differently, or we disagree on how the word “many” ought to be used. You made an observation and a statement. I provided a response with my observations. Why you’re trying to create a problem with what I said is beyond me.

    Rick, you’re an ass or you’re coming across as one to me for some unnecessary reason. Maybe you live in a dream world but nothing you said is remotely “deep” either. More importantly, I do not understand why you are trying to ridicule what I said when there was no effort on my part to be profound. That some (or many) people might be shocked because of their own lack of awareness or ignorance is a simple statement of fact. What’s wrong with that? It directly relates to my response that many are not shocked because they exposed and aware of this stuff, so the inverse of that is a reasonable comment to throw in to elaborate.

    Untwist your panties. It isn’t as if your second rate sarcasm and “oh, I hope the government and society will do something to deter this” proclamation is particularly incisive or “deep” either. Before you respond, just ask yourself what is wrong with someone pointing out that many Chinese are not shocked and that the Chinese government and society are doing things in response to these social phenomena. Remember, I initially responded to you because I felt it relevant to follow up your comment by saying that, yes, their aware and doing something…which can be found in the article you, admittedly, cannot read. Since you couldn’t read it, I just brought it up so you or others reading this would know that it was addressed. Now, if you don’t think it is enough, that is an entirely different argument and not one I’m trying to argue about.

    You need to relax, man. Something is wrong with you.

    1. Let’s start at the beginning. Why do you think my initial reply was trying to stir something out of nothing?

  • Chinamerican

    I guess this is how these spoiled brats deal with ennui.

    Snorting coke through a straw? How classless! They should be using 500euro banknotes or at least a US Benjamin.

    BTW, what are those MacGuyver-looking waterpipe things? Are they bongs? If so, they look like they’re getting lungs full of plastic.

  • krdr

    What I like about China, is there’s some parallels with Serbia. More than 15 years ago, wave of teenage violence, drug and sex abuse was all over Serbia. Almost same pics was in our newspapers. For next 7 years, kids killed each other, or died from drugs, alcohol or in car accidents.
    China is mostly traditional society and that society is in some kind of crisis. This kind of decadence is “normal” for crisis, especially if there’s a big gap between riches and masses. Youngsters are under the pressure of media and ads, and they want more and they want now. Fastest way is trough criminal. At this moment, it is very easy to get popularity trough internet as I said in other post. This kind of stuff must be ignored by society, but not the state. Fame of this pics will inspire other teenagers to get on same path.

  • will

    those plastic straw thingies and bottles are meth bongs.

    • lostinsz

      Will. The PRC would greatly improve as a society if some horticultural skill was turned towards producing some decent THC. Not surprising that youth here choose a really crummy and dangerous drug….ice….to get high. Makes one wish for the past when opium ruled the roost in the mind altering department. Call me conservative.

        The THC in Xinijang rocks… Disappointing in Beijing tho…

    @will

    thank you and EW, meth. I guess I wasn’t on the wrong track when I caught on with the class issue.

  • Kai

    @ Chinamerican:

    LoL, maybe they can roll up–what is it now–6.7 100 RMB notes to snort! Also, I am pretty sure that stuff is kingfen, not cocaine. At the risk of documenting the fact that I’ve stepped foot into some of Shanghai’s shadier places, I remember when a friend and I walked into a local mega-club called Armani 3 and saw tables upon tables of Chinese snorting lines of white powder off their glass plates.

    Now, I thought I was pretty shocked but then my friend from the Dominican Republic, a fairly big guy who has done plenty of morally questionable and legally dubious stuff, turned to me and whispered “dude, I’m scared.” That just about floored me, as he’s pretty much the shadiest guy I know and my ultimate litmus test of shadiness.

    We were partially relieved that the white powder turned out to be something called “kingfen” and not actual cocaine. I was even amused that another Chinese friend who was into that scene at the time adamantly corrected us that it was not cocaine which is “worse and addictive.” She even claimed kingfen was good for the body.

    Ah, good times.

    Haha, MacGuyver. That totally dates us.

  • Chinamerican

    @Kai

    I just asked my cousin, an anesthesiologist, and she said that “kingfen” is Ketamine. Man, that and meth is pretty much hitting the bottom of the barrel as far as drugs are concerned.

    I bet they’re not robotrippin’ b/c even they’re afraid of Chinese cough syrup.

  • Kai

    @ Chinamerican:

    Yeah, I think the above post mentioned it being ketamine, not that the locals here know what I’m talking about when I say “ketamine.” Mighty kingfen it is! Honestly, I never encountered ketamine (special K or whatever) before that fateful night in Armani. From what I hear, it seems like weed here is mostly smoked by foreigners who purchase them from everyone’s favorite Xinjiang folk, while Ecstasy was big years ago but has given way to kingfen in recent years. Must be the pseudo-glamour of snorting white powder, even if it isn’t actual cocaine.

    LoL, and robotrippin’…oh man.

  • Chinamerican

    @ Kai

    I’ve only ever heard of a few users of special K here (mostly through vets). I imagine that heroin must be a problem simply due to the geographical proximity to Afghanistan.

  • http://www.laonei.com/photos raggedyandy

    It’s just a shame that the white powder isn’t sticky green buds. I would join the gang if it was.

    I don’t care one damn bit if anyone here finds this offensive, but China is a nation full of garbage. Their government is garbage, their past times are garbage, and the foreign policy is most certainly….garbage. They went into space today and before they even did the space walk their communist controlled media reported it a success and they hadn’t even left the ground. China is nothing more than a propagandist bullshit country and I hope to god they get wiped out before they infect the rest of their world with their impure and shabby influence. If you’re a Chinese citizen, I don’t blame you, but I most certainly blame your inept, garbage-ridden government. If you all were halfway intelligent and actually had some self-respect, you would revolt and overthrow those worthless pieces of human offal and establish some human rights.

      You sound like US white trash. Ashamable ranting.

    So what? Let them be. If they want to destroy their lives let them. They got parents right? If they f**k up then there is the police right?

    I say f**k yeah! I support alternative lifestyles.

    If you are scared by these people, well then, don’t get in their way. If you get robbed stabbed or whatever, then tough luck. In that case then the police should do something, if the police is unable to do anything, then tough luck.

    There should be different sets of human experiences, versus just “going to school” and getting a job, until you fu**ing die. But if the path they choose down the line lead them to a prison, or death, so be it! They choose. I didn’t pick you life for you.

    Bryan,

    I agree!!! Totally agree.

    I feel the same way about the NWO government that the U.S government which constitute a majority, of.

    I think we should pray that the Chinese government and the U.S government get into it. Like a bunch of street thugs. Then I pray, that judgment will finally come!!!

    Jesus is coming!

    Bryan and Jesuluv, shut the fuck up.

    I don’t do drugs though I have tried them once ‘just to see’. This was when I was also a young person, on the ‘road to discovery’.

    Whilst I would never encourage anyone to take drugs, get involved in violence (I’ve done that too), people need to learn. Clever kids will learn by their mistakes, the stupid ones will kill themselves.

    I laugh when people ask me if China is ‘a developing’ country. It is as developed as any country in the world.

  • Lindy

    ehh well first of all im from Australia =)
    and this is not really a surprise with all the drugs and shitt.

    @ Lindy:

    LoL, yeah, I thought that picture of the girl smoking ice on the computer (of all places) and even taking a picture of doing so was patently hilarious in how pathetic it was. LoL, what a loser.

  • bonpassy

    god this site opens me a new china which i never known b4..

  • L BooGie

    all this shit they talkin about happens all over the world. why are people acting shocked about it now? like it just started and no one knows what to do. and just because they do the shit they do dont mean their trash and doesnt mean they deserve to die…whoever said that is dumb. first off you dont kno how certain people live, just because they didnt grow up with a lil white picket fence and a mommy and daddy like the brady bunch or some shit doesnt mean their any less important then you are. because no matter what shape size race or econmic status these people are they still make up the world we live in today…a fucked up one…but we all make it up and some people choose a path of going to school and having a career, some people cant afford school and work their wholes life’s and some people buckle under the pressures of society and decide that the only way out is to do drugs, which for them is a way to deal with their curtain situation. and really thats none of anyones business besides theirs, so i dont kno why people decide that its their business to judge someone elses life when they probably dont have the first clue on what goes on, or how they live, so people need to just shut up and back off and live ya’ll own life and the things ya’ll have to deal with instead of commenting about someone elses life.
    POINT BLANK!
    GET AT ME!

    • Green

      Dude, there are drugs everywhere, don’t victimise yourself and don’t blame America, even though I’m anti-American too. It is just part of society, there is no need to blame others.

    Damn! This is some crazy shit. I have seen some gangbangers at a disco called “Feelings” here in QD. We even had a bar called “Banana Bar” where you would see some of the “young and restless” smoke ice in the back room. Thank god the police cracked down and shut the place. Just imagine if these fools had guns.

    • Teacher in China

      Wow, dude posted like 5 in a row. So this is what it’s like to watch someone have a complete nervous breakdown online…

  • Dontcare

    if they want to f**k themselves over and ruin their lives then I have no problem with that. Just as long as those retards stay away from me and dont spread this s**t to anyone else (which they probably are doing though).
    You see, I have no problem with ghetto areas because I never go there and don’t want to. If they want to be retards and kill each other down there then that’s fine by me. As long as they keep me out of it.

    They can continue doing drugs and die in a hole for all I care. No sympathy from me. Nope.
    Now I have to remind myself never to read anything like this anymore so I don’t give them the satisfaction of attention.

    Interesting article. however after trying mushrooms let alone ice, im convinced that there is no proof of any existance. It sounds arrogant but there is only proof of me and everything else is just apart of my mind. People are apart of my mind so when i have a conversation with someone im just talking to myself (only another version or invention of myself). when i turn a corner or drive to a different part of town im just going to a different place in my mind. my mind invents things or reinvents things constantly as i go along through my life. my theory falls down when i think about how i got here (obviously my parents must be real if they created me) but im still convinced that crossing the road without looking first will be ok because if there is no proof to me of life how can there be any proof of death. i used to dream of trying ice and would experience it in my dreams. when i tried it i experienced the exact same thing. doesnt that mean that dreams are just as real as reality? and if dreams arent real then reality isnt real…haha am soo drunk right now and have wanted to talk to bout this for ages. my friends think im crazy but right now i know that im just typing on some keyboard that didnt exist until i walked into my room and saw it..ne one care to reply to this shit?

    • StonedCat

      Could be some truth in it man. Quantum Mechanics / String Theory are weird (haha watch some sciene type go oh no no).

      There is no time..only the present and your relative action upon here and now.

      • some guy

        Haha ive just realised that my theory contains strong elements of phychosis. That explains everything now lol.

      “What the bleep do we know” Might wanna check out the video if you can find it.

  • some guy

    Because if you do reply..to me, u will just be another version of me talking to me. so its ultimately pointless making any attempt in saying that im crazy. i consider myself unsane beyond sanity yet not insane

    None of this is true – China is perfect. This is all just a massive propaganda campaign spread by the American capitalist bourgeoisie.

    • Marx

      Look up the word “bourgeoisie” before you throw it around like that, dummy.

  • anon

    You’re just a fake and silly professor and very much into wetting your pants.
