Rekha T., Ukraine: "Both ancient China and ancient Rome were correct to afford parents far-reaching rights over their children. Nowadays children have no respect for their parents as anyway parents have no rights over them. One idea I support is that parents have a right as long as they live to obtain 50 percent of their children's net earnings. That will solve all retirement pay issues."

Tanto a China antiga e Roma antiga estavam corretos para ter recursos para os pais amplos direitos sobre os seus filhos. Hoje em dia as crianças não têm respeito por seus pais como de qualquer maneira os pais não têm direitos sobre eles. Uma idéia que eu apoio é que os pais têm o direito, enquanto eles vivem de obter 50 por cento do salário líquido de seus filhos. Que irá resolver todos os problemas de pagamento da aposentadoria.

Kalimantan / West Kalimantan

Lying directly on the equator and serving as the main gateway into the Province of West Kalimantan is the provincial capital of Pontianak. Founded in 1771 by Syarif Abdul Rahman Al-Kadri of Saudi Arabia, the city is now a bustling economic hub as well as home to a sizeable university and a giant indoor sports stadium. Canals crisscross the city and one of Indonesia's longest rivers, the Kapuas (1143 km long), divides the town in two, providing an essential and historical communications link. Like Java and Sumatra, West Kalimantan was once an important cultural crossroads.

Hinduism reached West Kalimantan by about the year 400 and evidence of both early Hindu and Buddhist civilizations in the region have been discovered. Stone carvings and ceramics can be traced as far as the 5th century, but it is the influence of Islam that has had the most impact on this region.

The advent of Islam in West Kalimantan occurred at about the same time as the rise of the first Islamic Kingdom in Aceh in the 15th century. Islam was rapidly embraced and various kingdoms grew in strength and power, particularly because of Kalimantan's strategic importance along trade routes to China and the Philippines.

West Kalimantan covers an area of over 146.807 sq km, rich in a variety of minerals and precious stones, and remains largely unexplored. Coastal areas are mainly swamp lands with more than 100 rivers sculpting the flat plains. In the mountainous eastern parts of the province, away from the city and plains, there are many Dayak villages.

The Dayaks have ancient traditions and beliefs which are expressed in various forms; earlobes elongated by heavy earnings, tattoos, intricate paintings, designs and carvings and wonderful dances of respect, heroism, welcome cure. A large Chinese population, Malays and other Indonesian ethnic groups account for the rest of the inhabitants of the province.

West Kalimantan is easily accessible from Jakarta or Singapore by air and boat and overland journeys provide a rare opportunity to see the interior of one the world's largest and richest islands.
