Ghosts scare UBC asians
 

Dozens of angry Asian residents of a posh, University of B.C., highrise building aim to stage a placard-waving protest rally to protest a 15-bed hospice being planned next door.





:haha: :devil: :eek5r:

while i agree with you...it's a matter of cultural clash. Asians are annoyingly superstitious. If i saved up for a $1M condo unit i'd appreciate it if i knew the hospice was planning to be built in my community..not to find out from an open house. They don't exactly need a hospice on campus IMO..but i guess it is a nice neigbourhood.

:speechless:
Way to educate their children about death... With this kind of belief, it must be taboo to live near a hospital too, since people die there.

If you grew up with these beliefs, it's hard to just let it happen, especially when it comes to money and luck.

A hospice is in many ways a sacred place, they are the final bit of salvation given to terminally ill patients as the approach death; the doctors and nurses who staff them are nothing less than heroes for their fortitude. Its important that hospices be strategically located, UBC for example, so patients can be close to their loved ones in their final days and to ensure the least stress possible is put on family members. If you've ever volunteered in a hospice or visited one you'll understand what I'm saying and agree with me.

I can't wait to see all the engrish on the placards at the protest. :thumbsup:

read my post and you might understand why one is being built at UBC.

I agree with your first part but not so much about the last part.

Its culture and superstition, although they should be held separately, Asian cultures kind of mix them into one.

Its like how Asians don't care much for "North American" superstitions.

Also my first post was vaguely construed and somewhat trolling and for that I apologize :fullofwin:

Just trying to kick off the conversation :)

The nursing students will disagree

Edit:

And the residents. Some people in hospice are either exposed to the same people day in and day out while the staff gets to experience the world and interact with many different people. Hospice patients don't get the benefit of that and being exposed to students with positive attitudes can have an excellent effect on them.

Come to think about it, a university is the best place for a hospice.

It is way more than just a place filled with dying people, its mothers, fathers, siblings who want to pass in best and more dignified/painless way.

To be honest:

The wishes of the dying > fucking supersitious homeowners. I way more sympathetic of the former than the latter.

So, they'd be happier living next to a halfway house, instead? :troll:

So why should UBC planners care about asian superstitions? :hotbaby:

^ They clearly don't if they already planned, built and had an open house about it.

^Is that supposed to be surprising.. this is Canada not an Asian country.

Maybe they needed one on campus for whatever the hell reason but they shouldn't fvck with those rich Asian in the first place either. Tallk all you want but there are cultural differences and the older the person the more superstitious he/she is. It's almost natural for Asian.

I don't think you can sell a $1million suite and then later build a hospice next to it and claims "there’s no evidence that a hospice reduces property values." That's shady business.

The way I see it, those people are gonna get refunded. I don't agree with some Asian family feels the need to live on campus--nice hood okay but it's still a campus for god sake--but they aren't coming from a bad ground on this either. The university is shooting itself in the foot for being so greedy.

And it's maybe Canada but it's still.. Kongkouver.

When you believe in shit like this, your opinion means jack shit.

You would think for a school that has a majority of "Asian" students with a large chunk of the campus area Condo's owned by Asians would think of a better way to deliver the news then to just do an Open House?

Lets look at this from a business standpoint.

In the end its all about the money, and there is a huge potential for loss in a situation like this.

I could not care less about superstitions, Asian ones or North American ones, its simply not smart business to do something like this.

lets put the hospice in your backyard and let see how you feel about it dipshit

Superstitions huh? I hope this doesn't blow out of proportion.

Knock on wood

If certain Asians don't want to buy condos next to a hospice there will be many other interested buyers. There is no huge potential for loss, Asians are only a percentage of the population of Vancouver and only a percentage of those Asians would let superstition dictate real estate investments.


I'd welcome a hospice in my neighborhood dipshit. If anything, it helps property values in some neighborhoods.

^ while that is true, they may be losing a lot of potential buyers down the line because in reality it is the superstitious chinese population that has the money :lol

You're a fvcking retard.

Just because it's a Western country doesn't mean you can disrespect other beliefs. This is the 21st century, dip shit.

Read: UBC basically pocketed 1million each condos and then give the middle finger to the tenants. Maybe it's a little late to do research.. when there's lawsuits coming up your ass. Good luck finding new tenants. Business doesn't work that way.

Stop talking because you have no fucking clue what's going on on the campus. This is not the first time UBC's greed caught up to them.

If you live university-adjacent which would you rather live next to? A quiet and somber hospice or a frat house?





How the hell is UBC disrespecting someone's belief system? Its not like they put a pork rendering plant next to a Synagogue or Mosque on campus, or a Burger King across from a Mundir.

If UBC was supposed to assume that a condo was going to be populated by Asian people AND superstitious ones at that, well that makes you a racist asshole. If you think those condos are meant for only Asians you can take your ignorant attitude elsewhere.
