In response to Re Big Daddy (China education basher)

Most expats I met had some baggage that they were running away from back home. That plus a low IQ makes them attracted to the equally low intelligence population of modern china. This country is filled with people who project their superstitions onto others and ignore reality. Perhaps the equal stifling of reality is what attracts both sides together.

I, though do not care too much about giving out sympathy to either side. The more you give, the more it gives them an excuse to NEVER change. Anyway, the world's population is growing to the point where anything can happen, including catastrophe. For some people, it's the only way to learn and change.
