    It's curious, you don't hear these kind of horror stories in Hong Kong, despite it's large multi-cultural expat community. What does that say about the city I wonder?

    Overbearing tiger moms are certainly preferable compared to honour killings!

    Still, why don't we hear any kind of child killings for religious reasons in HK? You don't hear anything about some bride getting killed or burn to death over unpaid dowry and all that stuff.

    Not really. We hear all kind of horror stories associated with fundamentalism in the West. Be it some honour killings, religious or not, in the UK or some crazy Christian fundamentalist cult in the bible belt of the US. But in HK you don't hear those kind of stories. Why is that?

    Muslim immigrants in American kill their kids all the time. There are several "honor" killings each year - usually its a daughter who shamed the family by becoming Americanized.

    I asked God for wealth, but I know he doesn't work that way so I have turned to stealing other people's hard earned cash and ask for his forgiveness.
