Topic 1-Boy with Autism refused to board the flight
A 13-year-old boy was refused to board a flight because he was air quotes "acting 1 weird 2." The airport explained that for safety concerns anyone suspicious should be kept away. It was later reported that the boy suffered from autism.
Is the airport being reasonable? Is it discrimination towards an autistic patient?
Topic 2-Hidden books on Chinese subways met with mixed response
Emma Watson, Harry 3 Potter alum, hid books around the London Underground and New York City subway system, which sounds exactly like something Hermione Granger would do. (Remember when she hid socks around Hogwarts to free the house-elves?)
Now Chinese celebrities 4 have done the same in Beijing, Guangzhou and Shanghai. Lucky subway and taxi passengers might stumble upon a hidden book during their commutes 5.
Topic 3-Who should give in first after argument?
Men are from Mars, and women are from Venus. So no wonder they will quarrel while being together. But, if they want to continue the relationship, who should give in first?
