Was he high when he proposed this??

That's one of the stupidest things I ever heard.

If he really is beating her, how in the world is she supposed to get him out into the street and beat him? The logistics alone are impossible.

I think it follows that if she is able to get him into the road and beat him, even with him being drunk, then perhaps she was the abuser in the first place?

I found it interesting that the first place some people went was that the couple would scheme just to get the money. Maybe so...in which case, neither one of them was a drunken abuser.

In any case, what a complete waste of time and energy this whole idea is.

It's an Asian thing and not subject to logic KM. The reasoning goes - "if we follow the west in it's strange behavior we will automatically become rich like the west." Beats me too.

Well, if they want to follow the west, they should make a little more effort to understand the west. Kind of hard to follow something when you don't know where it's going. Or they should acknowledge that we're really not going anywhere and aren't worth following...

I understand drinking to cope with the stress. However, there might be less stress if they didn't have to wonder where the grocery money was coming from because they spent it all on alcohol. I know that was the case when I quit drinking.

Not that I work as a bottom class laborer, but I think the point is valid. Money is the biggest cause of strife in families today.

They should make more effort to understand the west? The arrogance is truly astonishing!

Hell's Bells! In rural Indian villages, landless peasants gather round to watch tacky Hollywood movies with Hindi subtitles on the single communal TV that's powered by an imported generator.

Subsistence farmers, grubbing for a poor living, day after day to feed their families, who watch 'Hollywierd' garbage for the special effects, should make more effort to understand - while the decadent west goes its own sweet way??

Do you and I live on the same planet?

Society in the West is deteriorating pretty badly anyway. No point in understanding Western culture after the '50s

Did you read what I said?

IF you are going to follow something, you should know what you are following.

You're the one who brought up the whole subject.

Sounds like a perfect way to increase domestic violence first against men so the women can make money off it, then against women when the men get drunk and violent and jealous because the wife is making money by abusing them.

Eastern or Western cultures? This is just plain stupid and will be corrupted just for da money.

It's all fun and games until someone gets chopped up.
