BBQQ Points: Join Date: Feb 7, 2007 Status: offline	On August 18th, A dating party was held in Beijigng International Sculpture Park. About over 2000 participants joined the party, 70 percent are female. Strangely,One third of the participants are parents. They came to the party to choose their future sons or daughter-in -law for their Children. An old couple told the jounalist: " My daughter is 27 years old, but she is reluctant to attend this kind of dating party." " In fact, she nevere worries about her marriage. As parents, we are so anxious about her marriage that we come here ." How pathetic and noble parents' love is! but their anxiety might be in vain. Hey, China's new "Arranged Marriage"!

In the pioneer west a mail order bride became a partner with her husband in survival. The husband hunted, fished and defended the home from bad men and native warriors; the woman did everything else. Together they eeked out a living. People no longer need each other for survival so we can afford to be "picky."

How pathetic and noble a parent's love for their children truly is! Children these days in China are mostly 宠坏了! That's Chinese for "spoiled rotten". __WINDENERGY__
