In Chinese culture, usually it is the bridegroom or a senior of his family who pays for all the expenses - wedding costumes / banquet, etc. (even the down payment of buying the house or apartment)

Detail answers are highly appreciated.

I just got this in a forward :
Start keeping your car keys next to your bed on the night stand when you
go to bed at night.
If you think someone is trying to get into your house, or if you hear a
noise outside your house, just press the panic alarm on your car key chain.
Test it! It will go off from most everywhere Inside your house and will
keep honking until your battery runs down or until you reset it with the
button on the key fob chain. It works if you park in your driveway or
garage.

If your car alarm goes off when someone is trying to break in your house,
odds are the burglar or rapist won't stick around.....after a few seconds
all the neighbors will be looking out their windows to see who is out there
and sure enough the criminal won't want that.
Try yours to make sure it works before you rely on it. Just know that you
must press the alarm button again to turn it off.

I have asked a couple questions about language and communication, highlighting the inherant inadequacies of verbal communication. How else could humans communicate and convey all meaning, colour, nuance, emotion, sound,etc ? Language does not do it. What could ? I would like to know your thoughts on this.

Please note, the views and actions of our government are not those of every U.S. citizen. I'm not saying that you are a bad person if you don't like the U.S. either, but sometimes, I think anit-americanism is just fueled by stereotypes, politics, and media.

Dont call me shallow, or racist, because im right. If you acutally take the time to look, you'll notice that black people will cross the road where there isnt a crosswalk, but if they go another 10 feet there is. I have never seen a white person do this. And before you insult me, and call me racist, go into a city, and watch.

So my dad went to church today. (he's very religious) and he came back and told me I was a big dissapointment because I didn't graduate from highschool with my class. (I got my GED 2 years after) Then he said that he was dissapointed because I didn't go on a religious mission as expected for 19 year old boys in my religion. I am now 22. I don't care to go to church I don't think it's for me. What do you think is going on?

Two blondes are walking down the street. One notices a compact on the
sidewalk and leans down to pick it up. She opens it, looks in the mirror
and says, "Hmm, this person looks familiar."
The second blonde says, "Here, let me see!"
So the first blonde hands her the compact.
The second one looks in the mirror and says,?
(Can you tell me what the second one said?)
I'll tell you when I pick the winner. Most clever answer wins OR the one who knows the true answer to the joke.
