It is interesting to read all those blogs from all over the world. To me the blogs is a Godsend tool for us all to express ourselves in any subject we like as long we keep to the limit of self expression..... I guess we can be sane in writing if we keep to our own norms and value.....We Asian have a set of values that we care and accept as norms of a civilized society, for example we took great care not to use words that are offensives, words that sex dirty...vulgar, words that are never spoken in publics, words that are only use among families, words that are not use in front of children, word of respect when we talk to our elders, our parents...we do not use the same words or manner when talking to elders...talk in a manner so that they may understood what you are saying....We are Asian and we all love to be Asian...but then there are Asian that want to be like the western society and are trying very hard to assimilate and in doing so lost their Asianess and began to loose their Asian norms and value....it is sad indeed to read in some blog or chat room/ group discussion the young use words, that are considered vulgar or never said among Asian...but because they want to be more in tune to the 'in culture' of the west, they would use such word that are vulgar or best not said, sometime ago I joins a local discussion group call the Krya..P group, discussing common issue, then one of the participant start using the four letters words and repeat it without shame and got angry when told not to use it....I thought it is no use to argue with this kind of person...it not worth the time and energy...why waste on a person who have lost his Asianness, especially the Asian value...so I quit the group....let them do what they like, I do not want to associate with such group.....We Asian should remember we were civilized long before the other race group and had great tradition and custom and family value.......Which have given us great community and family life.....We all should try to retain these traditional value, for only with these value that we may remain Asian in all respect.....Remember respect for the elders, honesty and good family life were the norms and these in turn has brought about great families that lasted till today.......let us keep it these way.....and have a healthy family....and a civil society......
