AND Glitter Fades is right in the end in that the artists and companies are IDIOTS to fight it - but as of now , the law sadly disfavours it

I think in a generation or two we will see even more radical cultural change than we did in the last century, however sadly it will be mainly after almost everyone living now is dead, there will be new views on drugs, homosexuality, downloading music and everything, however it jsut requires current stereotypes to dissapear and that only comes with the people who hold them being gone.

I truly hope so - I have seen more in my 38 years in this planet than I EVER thought possible. My greatest HOPE is the world will conform with what is right

I have seen a huge shift in this world in the sixteen I have been here, unfortunately not all of it good, that's why I think the only way of getting rid of the certain stereotypes and prejudices that exist now is if you get rid of the people that cause them, not KILL them, but time will show a drastic shift I hope, I think it is important to our long term future.

Wow. I'm SO jealous. I loved it when we were there in 1999. They had just spruced everything up in Beijing and Guangzhou for the 50th anniversary of the PRC. The people were great, too. We visited a tiny little village outside Nanchang so we would have an idea of the type of village our babies probably came from, and the people in the village were awesome. Dirt roads, had to get water from an outdoor pump. All the homes were open and we were told it was okay for us to peek in. Very little furnishings, and no luxuries (by our standards anyway), yet they were the happiest people. And thrilled to see a bunch of Americans wandering around. I'd avoid the open air markets if I were you, though, because they do eat EVERYTHING there, and it's usually sold live.

We plan to go back when our daughter is 10, with our whole travel group. I can't wait...

PS - Oh, and enjoy the shopping. We stopped at a pearl factory on the way to the great wall, and go great deals. And they EXPECT you to barter for everything. I'm not very good at the bartering, but my husband was...

I almost got molested in the bathroom at a B&N once. I was in one of the stalls, and the guy in the stall next to me slid is schlong under the stall and started waving it at me.

I have a fear of public restrooms since that incident.

I would have promptly stepped on it.
