kick his ass. that is what i would do. someone hasn't shown him his place, if you're up for some drama, maybe you should.

If I was your chick, I would dump that business major, that ***** a waste of time if she is going to be going to med. school.
I don't understand the complaint. The money is the parents'. They can buy a ******* gold plated dog house if they so desired. If they choose to give most of it to the oldest son, that's their perogative. You sound pissed because your GF gets less money. She may complain to you about this and that, but deep down she's still part of the family. YOU would be quite delusion to think that you can be with the girl and not become part of the drama.
lol, yeah my gf is filipino...
Oooh. This is far more complicated than it seems. First, Filipinos are very, very attached to their family, and unless your gf expresses her intention to cut ties with her family, or move out of state, then she's pretty much stuck with them.

This is going to sound callous, but I'd recommend you get out of this relationship ASAP. I feel for you, and I feel awful for the girl, but these parents are not the sort of people you'll want as in-laws.
I would be lying if I said I didn't think this was not at all ethnocentric, but you do have a point that the general concern is when you boil it down IS my gf gets less money than her brother.

One thing I've observed though, that "oldest son" schtick doesn't hold in the Filipino culture like it does with the Chinese/Japanese/Korean setting. From where I stand its just that typical spoiled like **** brat all grown up and now he knows how to push the buttons with regard to his parents who are obviously suffering from some form of "battered wife syndrome" but on a parent-child relationship.
while I agree certain people need their asses kicked in life, I really don't advise kicking asses like there are no repercussions. if the OP says he fears for his gf's safety, what makes you think his gf's brother wouldn't kick the OP's ass? he did say that this guy threw dishes at his own mother right? he tried to beat someone with a lead pipe? I'm not saying that the OP should be afraid of this guy but does he really want the hassle? who has more to lose? can you win a fight against someone who doesn't have much to lose? while the thought of putting this guy in the hospital sounds neat, think about the next few years you have to spend going in and out of courtrooms defending against an assault and battery charge. nevermind the 10Gz you have to pay to your lawyer (that buys a bunch of nice suits).
you're taking it too literally.
