"Dr" Bill Grover for candidate in the Hall of Shame

Let me add some more input on the gay porn topic. I have lived and worked in China for quite a long time. I have seen things changing in China rapidly and radically. China has a huge labour market for foreign teachers of English As A Second Language. Like in Thailand and Korea, a lot of different kinds of foreign folks apply for and then find a job at a school. Some of them are sincere and well-intentioned, others have their own hidden agenda. One of them with a hidden agenda was an American guy from Kansas by the name of Kevin working as a DOS at Suzhou School of Foreign Languages (a Chinese-run private school in Jiangxi province). This Kevin guy had an intimate relationship with the male school owner, a married Chinese man. What`s worse, he also had the same kind of relationships with his male school students of minor age. People who wanted to report him to the police never really succeeded because of the good relationships the school owner maintained with the police (bribe). That`s China, you know.... They covered all this up.

What I see is that there are certain foreigners coming to work in a country like China with a totally unprofessional and unethical behaviour as teachers. The foreigners are considered "rich" by native standards, and they exploit poor and innocent children sexually because they have got the money to buy everything. This kind of "sexual exploitation" of native women, children - both male and female - in my opinion is a new kind of "colonialism" that I originally thought had long gone. I must say I feel very bitter about it. Child molesters and porns are not only disgusting but also unacceptable and should be brought to full justice - even in China! There are some people working on that Kevin guy and his likes.

BTW, academics and standards at Chinese unis would be a really interesting topic. Bill Grover might be delighted to learn about the options for a doctorate there if Chinese state-run unis would provide for Theology degrees. In other words, Chinese unis are a real joke!

Interesting. Most of my knowledge of China is second hand, having never been there (but truely wishing to go!)

China is the new wild west my friend. My sister was there and had much to report.

Its now flooded with Americans and other westerners wanting to teach english. I am reminded how 20 years ago any fool could go to Russia and teach english to kids. I knew one such person, he was a British dude who taught English to kids. He was also a heavy drinker and womanizer. And for an English teacher he sure loved to swear. This guy used obscene words in ways i never heard before.

I posted some time ago about how Chinese Medical Schools are recruiting foreign students, lured by easy admission standards and low cost. I also know personally a young lady from Thailand with a medical degree. She told me that the US medical board exams are far harder than anything anywhere else. Its so hard that many Chinese doctors with MDs will practice accupuncture and other traditional medicines because they cannot get the MDs.

Incidently, if you are foreign and have intimate relations with a Chinese citizens you can go to prison. Usually foreigners are deported but its far worse for the person you have sex with. China is very puritanical society and premaritial sex is frowned on, as is homosexuality and prostitution. This may have changed but I have heard that things were that way.

I do plan on going to Asia some day. I think that Japan would be on the top of my list and China later. A co worker told me that I can travel to the Phillipenes really cheap. I might consider that.
