That's been under discussion for over a generation now. China's policies with respect to birth control has been in force for more than twenty years; maybe more than forty.
Luckily, it seems that this incipient energy is being turned (finally) into moving China past the 19th century into the 20th, and hopefully soon into the 21st.
Speaking purely as someone who occasionaly (and in the past quite frequently) writes/wrote "political" posts (Ie, posts about our assorted country/state/town/whatever's leaders and they're actions and how they affect us)...i can say I'm pretty much over it. When I want political information now, I mostly try to get as close to the source as possible.
Writing/reading assorted rants can be funny for the cheap contact high, but that's about it.
As for the China/India/Nation-of-choice males-are-preferred-to-females issue...well. I think that's pretty stupid. And that's about it.
I find my enjoyment of political posts varies wildly.
I love Jim McDonald's posts on Making Light because I always learn something about the historical context and collateral issues of an argument. I like "personal is political" posts written by impassioned people with solid knowledge of the issues who are good writers.
I read political posts by my friends and acquaintances.
I like political posts that describe issues I know nothing about.
I tend to hit overload fairly quickly, though. I have trouble keeping my attention focused on an issue.
Ironically, I tend to not really read/enjoy the exact sorts of political posts I myself post. When I post political thoughts, I am mapping an internal conversation in progress; but I find I am less interested in other people's internal monologues.
Ah well. Such is the nature of a diary plastered on a billboard.
I'll read any post . If I find it's a waste of my time , I'll make it a personal mission to hunt you down and do things to you with marshmallows and an industrial-sized tub of deepheat . And , ultimately , all posts are political . Ultimately though - It doesn't really matter on the country in question . We as a species are all a bunch of genocidal fuckheads , and the planet as a whole is stupendously overpopulated (points to Bill Hicks for many long rants about population etc).
With that in mind - Best thing we can do is go find an Emo , and tickle it until it smiles .
And I'm a chap in my 30's , and I'm still sodding single .. so what the hell is going on here ??
