Yeah. Aamir Khan is WAY hotter.

I used to live in India, and everybody thought this fellow (SRK) was the ideal "boy next door". I've never really seen the appeal...

Why does Taiwan not seem to be included? My guess is that the numbers would be the highest in Asia in favor of acceptance of others, somewhat lower if asked "would you accept it if one of your children were gay?" (People in Taiwan from my observation are very tolerant of those who are not their children, and generally…

I'm a fat girl (not obese, but big) with a straight-size, good looking husband.

the hoodie looks like a cape/cowl and makes him seem like a Game of Thrones (Song of Ice and Fire) character. I'm going with Randyll Tarly.

When that was said at our wedding, and the officiant got to the word "cleave", I could NOT stop making trying-not-to-giggle face. And my husband saw it and started giggling too. Then at the reception a friend said "I noticed you were trying not to giggle over the word 'cleave'." We all lost it.

We've had to call an ambulance in our lives, when my husband fell about 20 meters down a mountain on a steep, scrubby slope when the ground gave out beneath him (the last 5 meters or so were straight off a cliff, but he landed in deep water). EMTs and a mountain guide had to come get him out. Fortunately a helicopter…

You know, the thing is, I don't even horribly disagree with SOME of the basic premise of this: needing space, quiet time, recharging time, not to have a relationship be something that always has you on edge or walking on eggshells, a relationship that can be about talking and having fun together or just quietly being…

Blah blah blah your needs...but what about MY needs?

An earthquake in China just killed 100 or so people. FUCK THAT. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid…

But henna doesn't belong to any one culture. It can be traditionally found from the Middle East to the Mediterranean to Africa to South and Southeast Asia. With that number of cultures that use it, you can't really say you're offending any one culture.

"She wouldn't have been put on trial had she not killed her daughter"?

Your friend is opium. You just want to cuddle with her all night in a soft bed as you stretch out under a stuffed Chinese silk quilt like a warm, happy cat in the sun. Nothing can hurt you, little kitty. Purr.

This is pretty much the only acceptable explanation for calling someone born in Taiwan "Chinese", but even then, a lot of the children of those 1949 refugees think of themselves as Taiwanese before they think of themselves as Chinese.

America officially supports a "one China policy", but plenty of statements have been made to the effect that the USA hopes Taiwan and China will be able to resolve this conflict peacefully among themselves (meaning that if Taiwan were to actually gain de jure independence - fat chance of that in our lifetimes,…

Please educate yourself on the full issue of what's happening in Taiwan before making such statements. Most Taiwanese do not consider themselves to be "Chinese", even if they accept that they are ethnically Chinese (just as I accept that my great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandparents were British).

Not all of them, no...many of them accept that they have ethnic Chinese roots but for reasons of national pride or national identity, prefer not to be called "Chinese" (even if, ethnically, they are).

Only according to China. Taiwan plays along to avoid war, but DO NOT PRETEND FOR ONE INSTANT that most people in Taiwan wish for one China.

Wrong. Most DO fall under that culture. Many Chinese landed in Taiwan from 1947-1949, and they make up a large chunk of the population, but that doesn't mean they've completely overrun the local culture. They absolutely haven't, at least in the south. Not even in Taipei, which has the largest concentration of 外省人,…

It's important to a small country like Taiwan that these distinctions are made, as most of the people in Taiwan have a separate national identity from China. About half of them are descended from people who landed in Taiwan approx. 300-400 years ago, before or not long after the Mayflower hit Plymouth Rock.
