Mike, the less controversial word for cheap is thrifty. You mention that you are Chinese so i am guessing that english is a second language so i'll try to explain. Words can have an express meaning and an implied meaning. If you want to insult someone you say they are cheap if you want to compliment someone they are thrifty. BTW the history channel had a program on Unit 731 -the site of the Japanese Biological Weapons research center where they committed horrendous war crimes against the Chinese people including surgery without anesthesia, spreading anthrax and other diseases, exposing people to bombs, freezing them. They even gave children candy laced with anthrax. Their actions in WWII rank right up there with the most evil acts in the history of man. Mike
