‘Good Luck Babies’: Children Dropped 50 Feet From Tower in Indian Ritual

500 years and nothing has happened nope

 

Murphy's law always applies.

 

Calling something a "custom" doesn't give people a licence to do what they please to children and be immune from criticism. Let these animals throw themselves off the tower if they like, But to inflict that on their own crying children is disgusting.

 

What do you base this on?

Do you see no potential problems with tossing infants off the roof of a 50 foot building, to hopefully be caught without injury?

Do you think in this poor area they are testing the kids brains after this to see if the impact had any effect? Have you seen any study of any kind that would lead you to believe this is safe to do to infants? Does your common sense tell you this is a safe practice and a good idea?

What do you think happens if a child lands on his head or neck?

I think the people do not appreciate or understand the possible harm they may do to their baby. I am not questioning their motives - I am sure they love their children. That is why I assume people engage in this type of behavior out of a lack of knowledge.

You believe that?

Not even one accident. That has to be the best safety record ever - almost too perfect to believe. Again, your common sense should kick in and tell you that is not realistic.

 

absolutely and they have been thrown as baby also so unless you believe thousands of people are cruel to their children.
this is more about the tendency to judge other people.

 

yes i believe thousands of people have been cruel to their children.

They are throwing crying children 15 metres from the top of a tower and trusting that the people at the bottom will catch them in a sheet. I am disgusted to think anybody can look at that and do anything but completely condemn it.

 

.. and to think that they're dealing with less than a year old babies, with (still) weak bones and all.

 

they say nothing has happened in 500 years. i take it as atleast a minimum with no cause for alarm.
you like to belive people are evil and will do this although it has damaged their kids.

 

but you dont see a problem with abortion?
you are what is called intolerant

He didn't say anything of the sort. He is saying there is an inherent risk, A completely unavoidable risk, With throwing children from the top of a tower.

 

Where did i say that? I actually said the exact opposite, and you know it. But i guess it's easier for you to tell lies than it is for you to argue for someones right to throw children off a tower.

 

You must not be reading very well. I do not think these people are evil, merely ignorant of the potential harm of their actions.

I am lucky to live in a western country with the best medical care in the world. I am aware of the harm that can come to a babies brain from a minor impact such as a low speed car accident. I have access to ultrasounds and MRI's and top medical testing. I assume these people do not. I am not saying they know the risks and proceed in spite of them. I think they do not no the risks.

Common sense tell one that tossing an infant 50 from a building is not safe. So how can you justify defending this particular behavior with no idea if it is safe? Because they offer no record of accidents you think that makes it safe?

 

Run! Banhammer descends upon us all!

 

It's just a metaphor for life. You are born, dropped into the world; bounced hard off the cold surface of reality. Then carried away by a bunch of strangers.

 

yeah so is saying to someone do or die, but in reality, I would not kill someone who flakes. Just a metaphore

 

the cloth is only about 2 metres wide. I bet they miss it every once in a while.

 

Allah will bless them for it
