Dear Editor, I'm writing in reply to the “Are the friends you have on Facebook really your friends?” letter you published recently.

Nowadays, we are in an era of rising feminism, but there are still many social cases about violence against women. In our society, women are always regarded as a disadvantaged group.

In an hourlong interview with Piers Morgan on a CNN talk show the other day, broadcast here in Taiwan three separate times during the same day, the Dalai Lama equated Chinese Communist Party (CCP) of China with Taiwan's Kuomintang.

I have seen the future and it's dank, dark and dystopian. At least in one Oklahoma author's eyes, it is.

Dogs make good pets, however, in Taiwan, those that are abandoned to fend for themselves on the streets cause serious problems.
