Also I don't see a problem with what the writer of this thread said, from what I found

The problem with the post had nothing to do with marriage, culture or anything of the sort. It is the idea behind posting it in the first place. There's a certain type of person who will walk into a room of people, and then out of the blue start talking about his ailments and the drugs he's taking for it. Or start speaking about how lonely he is, etc.

To come into the Life & Relationships forum and ask questions is one thing. But to just come in and post an announcement about something personal (it isn't even posed as a rhetorical question) is looked upon in the message board circle as strange. Maybe it's just me and that the rest of the Internet has tuned into this Web 2.0 bullsh*t I've yet to conform to. But I still have my inner boundaries regarding:

- what's acceptable on message boards
- what's acceptable on IM and other real-time chat systems
- what's acceptable on blogs
- what's acceptable in email

Nope, not just you. This thread should have been a blog entry or a personal message to someone the writer knows. Posting in a public forum like this to a bunch of strangers who don't know you and shouldn't care is an obvious attempt at attention.

So, angeldaimon, there really is no point to bring a dead and pointless topic back to life.

are you serious??? come on, its the 21st century...!! arranged marriage and stuff belong to 2 generations ago at least...
..you should be able to choose the one you love, not parents to arrange for you.. if you dont love someone from the start, whats the meaning of marrying the someone?
defintion from my side of marriage is to make a bond btw the 2 people, making the love stronger btw people...
well, when you start a discussion about arranged marriage, which is very unsual these days, you can guarantee that someone will critise you..

Arranged marriage is not very common in western culture anymore, but for the rest of the world, it is a very important social event. Don't think of it badly, there are many couples who marry and live happily through an arranged marriage.
