What's wrong to have an agressive friend? I think we should not bother
too much in our "friends" personal life. (if you don't like his/her
personal life, you will not be friends anyway, right?) For lover,
I tends to agree on your view.

Yeah, this is very common situation but depends on how much you put
in in the relation. Most often loving people too deep will ruin your
own judgement (what we call "Sut Hui Lay Gee").

Too much academic/technical work without a balance social life is

Traditionally, second wives were basically slaves.  Her purpose was to 
serve both the master and the first wife.  Perhaps that why.  Besides,
Chinese often believes the bigger a family is, the stronger it will be (
stronger not in a sense of bonding, but in the sense of power).

                  Advices from Dr. Sleeping Beauty to Peter
                  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Hi Peter,

	From a female point of view, I don't mind a boy who is loving me,
but he should let me know.  No matter which way he presents, but make sure
that he is not trying to hurt me.

	However, Peter, you should understand one thing, I would feel very
surprised if a boy suddendly invites me to have a dinner or even says he
loves me.  Therefore, first reaction from me would be reject you directly.
But you don't give up, because it doesn't mean that you have no chance.
You should keep trying 2 or 3 times, you may have a chance.  As your friend
said, time is running out, so you better hurry, try you first move.

	After your move, it will all depend on the response from F.S.

	And you don't worry about too much her so-called boy friend (P.K.),
most of the modern girls will not care to have more than 1 boy friend as
long as they are not married.

	Go for it !!!

	Well, my mean car is just a slow slow Lancer GSR. Before I bought it
	I read a review on Australian Wheels which said it was capable of
	flying at 202 kmh(= ?mph). But coz I have never driven it that fast
	I can't really tell you how fast it can actually do or if the mag's

	I think the MX-3 looks pretty awesome, but still haven't seen one
	here. The new CRX is quite nice but it's a front wheel drive car
	which I quite hate. And I drove a MR-2 a couple of months ago, and 
	found it very OK. The car's handling and acceleration was nice. Go

Compare to American, Korean and Japanese, I dare to say the new generation 
Chinese husbands are the best.  Once an American friend of mine told me about
a common reason for the high divorce rate.  Many male chauvanist American
husbands are just like the description above.  I have heard about a Korean
couple here in UT.  The wife is no more than a maid.  I think this is 
absolutely outrageous.  However, I shall never agree that Chinese husbands are
just the same.  In the paternal side of my family, husbands and wives have been
more or less equal in my dad's generation.  It is simply narrow-minded to 
stereotype the new generation.

Sorry about the testing article........

I have seen a lot of people response to this queation, thus I decide to 
join the conversation too.

From the all articles I have read, the people who response only look at one way
,that is, from non-religion side or from religion side only.....

I think that this topic is very deep, indeed one should consider a lot of 
different point of views.
What I think is:
Non-religion side: (1) people tend to get lonely at oversea as there is a new
environment to live in and one have to get to know new friend. Unfortunately,
The people oversea tend to have more christian than non-religion people..
thus one people may contact with a christian first and get influence by them.
(ii) christian tend to help other people a lot than the non-religion people,
this make the non-religion people think that christian is good and thus their
god.
(iii) One may not cope with the work load of a uni/school, and in order to get
 through this abnormal period, 
, he/she have to depend on something that may help them(i.e. god),the reason
why people may turn up to believe in christ not alah(islam) or buddha is
because the christian oversea is more active, they tend to have more activities
and know how to promote the bible...

From religion side:
(i) they finally know who is the real god.
(ii) they want to go to heaven and live forever.
(iii) they want an ideal world whose thay can live in, thus they want to unite
people with one religion.

Finally, my point of view:
It doesn't matter that whether a person believe in a religion or not.
the most important thing is, they know how to care and want to care from the
deep of their heart, that is, with love, one doesn't need to have a god to 
believe in because their heart is already settle down; with peace and loving.
If every people in this world is kind and lovely, then we won't know what is
war and what is bad, right? Thus what is the difference between a christian
and a non christian, as long as they are the same(have the same behaviour)?
Actually, what is the horrify part of dead any way? If you think you have
done enough........what is the different between forever life in heaven and
totally vanish in this world?
Hope you get my point, I know my english is not very good.....so...hope
you do understand it...............

(I know William is joking... let me go on)

For those who don't know, Bill is a short form for William.  I remember
clearly when a good friend of mine (who's last name happens to be "Liu")
was hunting for an English name.  That was... oh... 8 years ago??

I jokingly proposed that he should call himself "William."  I almost
convinced him, until later he found out that William=Bill and he realised
my intention. 

Oh darn... I guess that didn't work.  Incidentally, he is still a very 
good friend of mine (though I don't see him often).  He just gets
a little annoyed whenever I call him "William" or "Bill" for that matter...

<grin>

Just a silly story which I thought I should share.   

Have a nice day/evening,
Kelvin (the annoying one)

PS: Wylie "William" Liu, are you out there?? if so, please forgive me...
    I still think the name "Bill" is a better choice than "Wylie." :)

These  three  are  the  3  executive  directors  of  the  Student  
Federation for the last 3 consecutive years.   I bet they did not  
do  any of the physical "action" in front of Xinhua.   They  were  
charged  presumably  for  being  the  "Black  Hands"  behind  the  
demonstrating students.

The  human rights legislation was passed more than one year  ago.   
There  was  some  transition periods where the  legislation  only  
comes  into force after 6 months or 1 year in some areas  of  the  
application  of  the  law,  but I believe they  have  all  passed  
already.  So there will be a legal conflict.

Well, if I have five sons, I will be desperate for a daughter. I think Wangnan 
want a son because he just want both daughters and sons in  a family.

I think the only way to get a son is keep trying. The more daughters  you
have the less chance you have for the next one to be a girl.

The chance of getting a girl is 50%.

The chance of getting a first girl and a second girl is 50% * 50% = 25%

The chance of getting a 1st girl and a 2nd girl and a 3rd girl is 50% * 50% *50%
= 12.5% and so on.

However, I know of a family with 11 daughters and still trying. Good luck!
