Same problems existed in all western countries some years ago, it's a question of social education. The GCCs developement pace doesn't mean the local society is able to evolve at the same speed. You always learn from your mistakes, and like in any other country, things will change due to experience and not thanks to your comments on this forum.
Each society has its own characteristics (cultural, religious etc...) and I find very cheap to pretend being able to compare with others. The most worring thing is when we export our "mistakes" into developing countries. While tobacco is being drastically controlled in Europe, it is still promoted in the rest of the world, as Mc Donalds' junk food.

I'm still amused to see how many people are here only to complain. Probably that those who are not have better things to do... Too bad to be here and unhappy... life is short and time shouldn't be wasted.
