Are you desperate if you use Asian internet dating sites?

At 1, Are you desperate if you use Asian internet dating sites? After 2, is it ok for a 7 year old to walk to the bus stop on her own? And is Bollywood the best it's ever been?

The big debate at 1 - Are you desperate if you use Asian internet dating sites?

There's always been a bit of a stigma attached to online dating, but has that all changed now? According to an article in today's Telegraph there are an estimated 5 million people who log on to find a partner. And you only have to open a newspaper or see certain billboard adverts to realise it's big business. But do asian dating sites offer a better way of meeting someone than through a family introduction or in a bar? 

After 2 we'll be asking - Do you think it's ok for a 7 year old to walk to the bus stop on her own? A family have been warned they could be reported to social services for letting their daughter walk alone to the school bus stop. It's only about 25 yards from their house, so is there really anything wrong with that? 

And later in the hour - Is the current standard of Bollywood the best it's ever been? For all the cash these films are making are they actually any good? Or do you prefer the older Bollywood films?
