font-size: 12pt;\">Sure, they still have problems with <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Little_Emperor_Syndrome\">Little Emperors<\/a> running rampant throughout the country, with their parents being completely inept, incapable and unwilling to actually discipline their fucking kids from <a href=\"http:\/\/shanghaiist.com\/2016\/06\/01\/kids_destroys_nick_wilde.php\">destroying public displays<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/shanghaiist.com\/2016\/05\/27\/shanghai_kids_destroy_art.php\">museum exhibits<\/a>, but it\u2019s nice to know that when it comes to education, China is pulling no punches with their aspirations to punish exam cheaters.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">I mean seriously, even at my most sadistic, I don\u2019t think I could\u2019ve dreamed up a <strong>seven-year jail sentence<\/strong> for cheating on tests.\u00a0 It certainly seems like it\u2019s severe enough to make would-be cheaters think twice about trying it.\u00a0 Also, it\u2019s kind of amusing to see what a society with lax cheating ideologies try to play the game of trying to outsmart the exam administrators who are going to some big measures to prevent cheating; all while overlooking the notion that if the effort to cheat were instead diverted to actually studying, then everyone would probably ace the gaokao to begin with.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">But here comes the agenda of this post \u2013 it\u2019s pretty astounding that children in China are subject to punishments of up to seven years of jail time, for cheating on a test, that physically harms no human beings, while <strong>a guy in America can rape a woman, and <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/entry\/lets-not-ignore-the-importance-of-brock-turners-whiteness_us_5756d791e4b0b60682dee518\"><strong>get just six months in prison<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 Sure, there\u2019s a whole other agenda within this story that\u2019s entirely swirling around the inequality of race perception, but that\u2019s a can of worms that I don\u2019t need to open that couldn\u2019t be found anywhere else at this point.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">The point is, it\u2019s completely embarrassing that the fucking Chinese can get punishment right, while America can\u2019t overcome it\u2019s own racism to properly sentence A RAPIST.\u00a0 Seriously, in some parts of the world, rape is probably still punished by death, but as long as you\u2019re white in America, the punishment FOR RAPE is pretty much the equivalent of getting sent to your room for not finishing your fucking brussel sprouts.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s punishment;
