In today's world, getting an academic degree is more and more like a CYA, not like real education.

In terms of providence, maybe people who majored in arts in university have less of it than people who majored in science and engineering. I meant after graduation.

It can be unnatural for an atheist Chinese to completely understand the concept of 'divine jealousy' in Christianity and Judaism.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jealousy_in_religion .

Moreover, I'm also intrigued by the Christian perspective on human jealousy.

Our baby daughter was annoying during last night's dinner. But I shouldn't have lashed at the table.

I signed up Facebook years ago. Then I've stayed out of circulation in that sphere since. Facebook is just not my cup of tea yet.

I used to haunt coffee shops.

It's been bruited about that the eventual actual procurement cost for F-35 jet fighters, which are a seemingly important sort of 5th-generation jet fighter made by Lockheed Martin, has soared to an estimated US$156 million each, from the earliest projection of US$50.2 million each.

See the 3rd paragraph of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-35_Lightning_II
and

I guess Canada will beef up its mettle and buy those F-35 air fighters anyway, largely due to its escalating concerns over the northern territory.

It looks probable that there will be a sea change in worldwide attitudes towards studying in a university in the U.S, whose cost has been soaring and soaring in the past decade or so and can hardly be justified for its intrinsic value in terms of education.

For one thing, see this: Should College Grads Get a Break on Their Loans? - Room for Debate - NYTimes.com .

Marriage is a work. I've worked hand in glove with my wife for the development of our life and family.

I'm happy that the internet technologies have broken the monopoly of the dissemination of knowledge by universities and publishing companies.

Unlike some others, Y offered me opportune help. So I respect him relatively deeply.

Until now, our baby daughter seems to be a bit brainish.

Personally I wouldn't like to see the Occupy Wall Street to fizzle out.

I grew up in a small town by the Yangtze river in China.

Maybe, it would be even better to grow up by sea, which constantly makes heave.

The consumerist values are so dominant in the mainstream Canadian society. I'm not sure if I completely agree with that particular inclination.

Across the world, will China see the ever growing influences of consumerism in its society?

Is there a slight possibility that the claim of Gaddafi's death is a knavery set up by him?

RBC importunes their customers to set up a line of credit with them or buy their so-called 'Talk & Save' long distance plan. Who needs those two products?

Sometimes it's boring to watch government finance officials prate about economic prospects, in their typically dull and measured words.

I am going to become old. My hair will grizzle, my motion will slow down, and my body will be feeble.

Will my lived life feel like vapor at that time?

There's a fine line to differentiate among service providers.

One group is those providers who reasonably fairly offer services with the reasonable expectation to gain income; the other is those who are somewhat schematically after people's money and should be hoist with their own petard or somehow punished, ideally.
