With the death of Osama Bin Laden, and my recent thoughts on Catholicism, the idea of morality, justifying right from wrong came into my mind. As Catholics we believe not only is it wrong to kill, but it is also wrong to wish death upon another. This may seem strange to some, they may ask themselves “Why can’t I wish people like Osama Bin Laden dead?” Catholics know that people like terrorists will have to answer to a Higher Judge then any on earth. Not only that, Christians and Catholics who follow the word of Jesus cannot see the good that comes out of killing another. The Catholic in me wants to follow this doctrine, but the American in me can’t help but feel proud someone as evil as Osama is dead and gone.

Traditional Chinese vs American Chinese Cultures

Do Chinese mothers make their kids eat everything on their plates?

Answering from a Chinese American's perspective, I would say yes. My mom is lenient but she makes me finish everything in front of me at every meal especially RICE. She stresses the value of food and that we shouldn't waste it.

The actual answer is...in China, finishing everything on your plate is considered rude because somebody might think you didn't get enough food and you're still hungry. WHAT KIND OF NONSENSE ANSWER IS THIS? In any case, I think this is stupid because finishing everything on your plate doesn't always mean that you are still hungry. It can also mean that you really enjoyed the meal or that you don't like wasting food. I never heard of it being rude for someone to finish everything on their plates...if anything it's being POLITE.
