I would interpret family values as wanting a man who would stand by his family, especially wife and children, no matter what happens. As for what family values mean to Asians, it might be better to ask the individuals involved. Asia is a huge continent and encompasses very varied cultures. Even in China itself, 1.6 billion people might not all have the same thoughts on the matter, even if there is a general consensus. Talk to the lady that interests you and ask her what she expects in terms of family values. Communication is key, surely. You can communicate your expectations as well. It's a two way street.
When I can afford it I wear Chanel No. 5.... Nothing like the classics. However, anything that smells fresh, clean and/or just plain good will do. I like musky fragrances.
Yes, she is only 16 with all the arrogance and certainty of that age. She might be the one saying these things but adults with an agenda are bringing her to the world's attention. Whatever your opinion of whether she is good or bad, they are using her youthful passion and single mindedness. The detractors should leave the girl alone and target those who are behind her celebrity status.
Young people often get things wrong but sometimes for the right reasons. It is up to adults to guide them with some kindness and empathy and not try to prove how much cleverer they are than a 16 year old girl with a developmental disorder.
The mistake I made was thinking that people were following the thread. It was too much to ask. As for my intellect...you really don't know me well enough to comment.
I'm very surprised you find it boring here and you think we lack tradition and culture. Maybe you haven't looked very hard. Yes, St. Patrick was not Irish but his work in Ireland is what made him well known and a saint. We have traditional music, traditional dancing, both known world wide. We have hurling and Gaelic football, traditional sports. We have a long literary history of playwrights and poets. If you find these boring, it is hardly Ireland's fault. You obviously connect more with the traditions of your home country. Perhaps you would tell us where that is?
RE: How do you say "Merry Christmas" in your native language?
Nollaig shona duit...(the s is silent, for pronunciation purposes)
