Around China : Robk commented on news Prison for Man in Metro Suicide Stand Off

I just thought it was strange now he clearly had access to online gambling (which maybe wasn't blocked, yet is illegal in China)... yet Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, Dropbox, Instagram... et al are such HUGE threats and blocked for basically NO clear reason... China's priorities are totally screwed up. Full Comment>>

I don't know how to swing it. To give or not to give... I would ask everyone this... how long has begging been around? That's right... since the beginning of humanity and it is NOT going anywhere. You think because you didn't give to that little girl a few kuai that somehow you are saving another little girl's life ... Full Comment>>

This won't really work at all. People use the internet to escape reality, and the reality for Chinese in China can be very harsh. Once they are let out of these camps and into the real world... chances are they will regress or fall in to another addiction... alcoholism, drugs etc. Full Comment>>

I agree and disagree... for points mentioned in Sorrel's posting but also because you are still naive. We went over this and I know EXACTLY how you feel. Yes, more foreigners should take their job more seriously but MANY schools don't want those said foreigners to take their job seriously. They just want to use the ... Full Comment>>

I agree, most schools couldn't care less how well you teach and many students consider the English "class" as a class that should be fun and entertaining. But when you try to make it fun, a school will criticize you and say... "they should be learning, not playing games." And tell you to teach like a Chinese teacher ... Full Comment>>

Around China : Robk commented on news Internet Rehab Bootcamp Training Leaves Teenager Dead

The internet is a method of escape, much like drug addicts or alcoholics. The problem is with the parenting. The kids are controlled, told what to do all the time, not encouraged to think or speak out like prisoners. This is a form of mental escape... if you want to fix the problem... educate parents on proper ... Full Comment>>

That's NOT the point. You don't imprison the mother of a rape victim, give them the death sentence and then overturn it. I don't care about the sentence itself it just sends the wrong message. Personally, I prefer they live... if a Chinese prison was like others around the world... these guys will wish they were ... Full Comment>>

This is horrible. Not only do they lose a son, the wife probably blames herself... along with the rest of the family. I hope they find their son but I am guessing the chances are very slim since it seems pretty organized and planned out (like someone was waiting for her to leave and no just a spontaneous act).
