The Pros and Cons of Being an Attractive Woman
(by Guest Writer Nadia)
(PROS): ◾Everyone looks at you! Everyone. Your self-esteem is usually through the roof because you KNOW you’re the center of attention. People marvel at your aesthetics!
◾You get free stuff. Free meals, drinks, rides, AND you get served faster. Since when have you heard that gorgeous people pay for things?
◾Compliments, and lots of them. Having a bad day? Whatever, someone’s bound to compliment you and make you feel better. Remember, you’re pretty, right? Things aren’t so bad.
◾Tons of friends! People want to associate with you more because of your looks. Really, like that’s such a horrible thing anyway.
◾You’re never short of a date. Who doesn’t like an entire army of options at their disposal? It’s not bad that they all want to pay for your food either. Just bat those lashes and it’s in the bag.
◾You get paid to be pretty. It’s easy to be a model or actress when you’re hot. AND you get paid for it.
(CONS): ◾An overinflated ego. Compliments make sure that your head doesn’t fit through the door on a Monday morning (or whatever morning, really)
◾No real friends. Yeah, they might compliment you, but that gets boring. They just want to be around you because you’re pretty. Even worse is when you get those clingy people who want to be your friends. Ew.
◾Being high on pedestal is dangerous. You’re human at the end of the day, and you really don’t want that awkward village sewer rat obsessing over you. Having people think of you as some type of divinity is way creepier than you think.
◾Your dates are shallow. People hardly love you, they just love what you look like. You’re a human shell to them. Why make someone your priority when you’re just going to be an option? And even if dates line up, finding someone of quality is a fucking headache. Let the interviews commence.
◾Beauty isn’t forever. You have a “sell by” date in modeling and are bound to be replaced with the newer younger hottest person by the time you turn 30. And don’t even try to fix yourself with plastic surgery that shit just won’t work.

體罰
Couple detained over son’s death (Taipeu Time)
A man and a woman from Greater Taichung
have been detained incommunicado on charges of inflicting injuries resulting in
death, after they allegedly beat their 12-year-old son to death for stealing
money from them on Friday.
A preliminary examination by prosecutors
found that the victim, a fifth-grade elementary-school student named Chien
Wei-en (簡偉恩), had
multiple newly inflicted injuries and calloused wounds across his back and
thighs.
An autopsy has been scheduled to determine
the cause of death, prosecutors said.
Prosecutors said that the boy’s father is
an employee at a parking lot and his mother is a clerk at a mobile phone store,
adding that both of them took on part-time jobs at restaurants at weekends to
boost the family’s income.
According to the victim’s parents, they
became overwhelmed with rage and started beating their son on Friday, after
discovering that money was missing.
They said they urged their son — whom they
allege had stolen more than NT$100,000 (US$3,449) from them since the third
grade — to confess to the theft and explain the whereabouts of the money.
Instead of confessing, they said he merely wrote “NT$1,000 to NT$2,000 ” on a
piece of paper and claimed he had spent the money on food and toys from convenience
stores, the parents said.
Infuriated by their son’s “careless
attitude,” the parents said they took him to their room at 8pm on Friday, where
they stripped him and ordered him to lean against a wardrobe, before taking
turns to whip him with a cane for two hours.
Despite being caned and occasionally having
his face pinched by his mother, the “obstinate” boy did not shed a tear during
the entire process, they said, adding that they subsequently told him to put
his clothes back on and remain in a squat position as further punishment.
The boy then hid himself overnight in a
bathroom on the first floor of the house after he was kicked out of his
parents’ room at midnight. The parents said he seemed normal when his father
carried him to his room at 5am, prosecutors said.
Video from a surveillance camera near the
hospital shows that the parents’ vehicle arrived at the emergency room at
6:57pm on Saturday, but the boy was pronounced dead on arrival.

打死偷竊兒 爸媽輕判5年半 2013年10月12日
【許淑惠╱台中報導】台中市一對簡姓父母，為了管教有偷竊習慣的11歲獨子，今年1月持藤條輪流鞭打兒子長達2小時，致兒子因食物逆流阻塞呼吸道窒息死亡，一審法官以「失控的愛讓人難以同情」，依傷害致死罪判夫妻各7年4月刑期，昨台中高分院以這對父母恨鐵不成鋼，因情緒失控發生遺憾，情堪憫恕，改判2人各5年6月刑期。
判決指出，去年12月簡姓父母懷疑兒子偷取家中財物，累計已20萬元，父母認為須導正兒子偷竊行為，曾2度請校方協助了解，父母多次要求兒子寫下竊取的金額和藏放處，但兒子總是寫不清，或是金額愈寫愈多，讓父母很惱怒。
今年1月18日晚上8時許，2人再次要求兒子交代竊取金額和流向，兒子在筆記本內寫下竊取1500元，父母認為不實，命兒子脫光衣物，先由父親持藤條抽打兒子臀部，兒子被逼供出金錢藏放處，父母察看未發現，認為兒子說謊，再持藤條鞭打。
用藤條輪流鞭打
一審認為，簡姓父母以愛之名的不當管教，讓人無法同情，判處2人各7年4月。2人上訴，希望法官給予同情減刑。
二審法官表示，我國多數的父母，向來將子女犯錯視為自己管教無方，都會極力試圖矯正，這原本是和樂的一家人，父母基於矯正兒子為出發點，卻欠缺正確的方法和足夠的耐心，認為兒子還在欺騙父母，恨鐵不成鋼，而使用暴力、威嚇的方法管教，在情緒失控下肇禍，實屬人倫悲劇。
