[2007-01-06] Lying Online
On television, Stephen Colbert would lift his eyebrow and call it "truthiness." But online, many would-be daters wink and think stretching the truth is OK. "Truthfulness may be the ideal, but many online daters seem to feel it is both necessary and acceptable to express little white lies," said Joelle Kaufman of the dating site Engage.com.

In fact, Engage.com's "Manners and Behavior" survey of more than 600 US adult singles showed that 24% o [...]

[2007-01-06] Marrying a Vietnamese girl in Malaysia is no longer done the conventional mail-order way – it is now conducted in the buy-on-the-spot style.
Young and attractive Vietnamese girls are being paraded at coffeeshops and agents’ homes in some small towns for the prospective grooms to pick and choose, and seal the deal there and then. MCA Public Services and Complaints Bureau head Datuk Michael Chong described the practice as “sickening and immoral”. “The agents have always charged a huge amount to provide local men with girls of their choice using runners, distributing leaflets and operating from offices filled with Vietnamese girls’ photos and profiles,” he told The Star. ”Of late, these agents have simplified the process by go [...]

When the economy of a country is in turmoil, problems manifest themselves in a variety of ways -- many of them related to health care. In Russia, health officials say a collapsing health care system -- after years of government-controlled health care -- has created an alarming increase in the rate of infant mortality. One noted scholar, Murray Fishback, has speculated that absent intervention to reverse current trends, Russia's population may be less than 100 million people by the middle of the century. It is hard to imagine a Russia with the precipitous decline in economic prosperity that wil [...]

[2007-01-06] Has teenage dating met its demise?
OPRF senior Anna Palmer doesn’t think so. “I see so many couples at school. It's like everywhere I turn, there’s another couple.” The adolescent relationship of today is a far cry from that of baby boomer days, but according to many OPRF teens, dating hasn’t declined in the least. In fact, one student argued that present-day teens have more serious relationships than their parents did in the 1960s and 1970s. “I think dating has become more serious in high school than when my parents were there,” said Palmer. “They had flings, but not really relationships.” As the popularity of social dating [...]

Santa Clarita's singles scene needs some help, said Hollywood networker and matchmaker Dianne Bennett. And it would only take a few self-starters to make it work. "New Year's Eve is coming up," Bennett said last week. "You know how many people are going to be home alone? It's pathetic." "Or at a bar?" she added. She rolled her eyes and groaned.

[2007-01-05] Abandoned brides need all the help they can get
The Indian government's decision to offer free legal aid and counselling to women who are the victims of sham marriages seems to us a good first step toward solving a major world problem. After all, it was The Province's series of award-winning stories that helped shine the spotlight on the plight of "abandoned brides" -- and the practice of unscrupulous Indian men marrying for dowries or as means of gaining entry into Canada and other western countries. The next step, of course, is to tackle the abuse by reforming Canada's own immigration system. One suggestion is that there be a three-yea [...]
