Q: Have you seen someone here loose it in public?
On my way home, I saw this lady (looked more like 45-50) on a electric bike... waiting at a red light. And suddenly like that, she just snapped... yelling, screaming in the air, violently thrashing her own bike handle, this went on for about 99 seconds (busy intersection). And as soon as the light turned green. Everything went back to normal... and she simply went on her way.
I have no idea what that was that all about... did you witness anything like this, on the road, in office or maybe you did?
You seem to be suggesting that everyone has repressed trauma and psychotic rage bubbling inside them, and that we are simply pretending to be calm.
The reason I don’t periodically need to have screaming fits is because I don't have violence and resentment simmering in my heart. Over the course of my life people have treated me quite well, and as a result I am calm and self-respecting. I have enough perspective to perceive shitty things that happen (like Chinese people being rude) objectively and not personally.
In answer to your question - Yes, I see this kind of thing in China all the time. It usually manifests when Chinese people are challenged. Over the course of their lives Chinese people suffer a great deal more injustice and indignity than people who grow up in civilisation (though despite their resentment they are quite happy to inflict injustice and indignity on other people). They don’t learn social mediation when young, so any perceived insult can push them over the edge. And out comes all the bad stuff.
It's Chinese culture that breeds this kind of thing – not the human condition.
EDIT: The original question has been changed. Sigh.
Karma101:
Yeah, sorry about the change… I didn’t want the post to look like it was right thing to do in public.
Also, your reasons made me think… usually the act done when confronted is too save face, isn’t it? Wherein this incident was clearly was not about that. So what was is about? What do you suggest to the people who have “repressed trauma and psychotic rage bubbling inside them, and are simply pretending to be calm”. Get help?
Showing weakness in public should not be praised.
Karma101:
Okay, I removed the last part which might have looked like praise!! Anyways... She is no means looked weak, it more looked like just letting it go...
Wasn't is the same like we do here, the rants, when we know nobody knows our real identity? or is not the same?

I agree with you, that woman should face a firing squad for not proving the justice of her culture.
Chewbacca:
Well she shouldn't have people saying. Oh, I bet she needed that. People should be saying "What are you playing at".

Hey Bro!!! Why did you change the question? You originally asked if people should all have crazy outbursts from time to time, implying that it was a good thing.
Karma101:
no I didn't... I asked.
Have you seen someone here loose it in public?
I changed the part which probably indicated that having a outburst in public is a good thing. that's all!!
