This is embarrassing... I feel really bad for the well-behaved Chinese that want to explore the world and travel. Chinese education and parenting REALLY needs to put a lot more focus on proper international manners. Full Comment>>

Well, I don't see how this documentary will help. The people that watch it will still buy their purifiers, their massive SUVs and continue to work in their factories that spew horrible pollution everywhere. Only the government can stop it, and they are too busy getting drunk at lunch with Mao tai and sleeping with ... Full Comment>>

I don't think I understood this article clearly... Are they saying that having sex with underage children, as long as solicited, means the child is a prostitute and somehow that makes it all okay? Leave the children alone! Full Comment>>

Ah, funny but they fail to mention this: Sure it may use up both sides of the brain but the right hemisphere is used for things like creativity, arts and music (many of these countries lack in general creativity however). Having a better developed left side of the brain means being able to tackle problems, use logic ... Full Comment>>

This is ridiculous. Sounds like the whole damn town knew about this poor girl and it took them (the ones that actually gave an ounce of care) 5 YEARS to free the girl. This wasn't an abduction... this wasn't hiding someone in an attic and not telling anyone and she was finally freed. This was like locking a human up ... Full Comment>>

This article is correct in its differences but lacks in explaining the reasoning behind them.
