  Why can't women fully break-away from their 18th century social roles even though they have gained so many rights? Why do we assume that men are superior to women? Why do smart women's brains become rice portridge when around other men?

  Asian need to change our obsessions with pretty face and become fascinated with characters and personality.

  Asians are face-obsessed? Nahhhhhh...how shocking. If this kid was an adult, she would've had plastic surgery.

  Sharpie:
  There's a huge difference between countries that have no freedom of speech, religion, and right to gather peaceably and a country that wages war on foreign countries esp. after it was attacked in 9/11. I disagree w/ the US foreign policy, as the worldwide world does. Try criticizing the President of China in front of his house and see what happens to you and all your families -- this makes all the difference.

  Sarge: No one is critizing China or Chinese people or their manufactured goods. It's the Communist government's policy of treatment of its own citizens that's often brutal, medieval-like, and unfair. It's out of synch with the rest of modernized world's sense of how we do treat our own citizens. Olympic host is about an exemplary country that the world looks-up to. How could anyone lookup to a country that has no human rights record??

  What's the motive? Sounds like they should've given him psychotherapy or counseling. The son sounds very disturbed.

  Why would a wealthy former property develop in his mid-50s do something like this? I'm a foreigner and think there's something very disturbing about this case. In the U.S. when you hear of cases like this, it's usually people who are poor, uneducated, stupid, and have abnormal childhood history (ie death of parents). How could someone like this guy do something like this??
