How the One-Child Policy in China Causes Bad Manners

This sense of entitlement on the part of Chinese men is a big problem in China. In a country where 'manhood' is still highly prized, however, such behavior is not entirely surprising. One child families - where parents and grandparents spoil their children 'silly' - produce millions of men who grow up believing that they are the kings of the world. After all, even well into their late teenage years, everything is done for them. Their mothers wash their clothes, cook meals for them, and their fathers pay for four years of university - the young men never have to work until the day they step out of the university. Students who I have spoken with on this issue admit to me that they were never taught how to have good manners by their parents. It simply never came up in a conversation.

What is really interesting is that some villages have 100 males for one or two females. What do the other 98 "kings" do for a mate? The next article you'll read is that homosexuality is rising at an alarming rate in China. Talk about the end of a civilization.

The disparity between the numbers of the Chinese male population and the female populations is large and growing, mainly due to the one-child policy (female babies are aborted or put up for adoption). If it continues to grow, China will be the first gay superpower since Sparta....

Chinese surplus males = cannon fodder for the next world war.
