A little off topic, but political differences in US and European politics aren't exactly that the US is more conservative than Europe. It's just that historical precedent has made certain issues fall on different sides of the political spectrum in different cultures. European countries tend to have more left-wing…

Oh I agree. I meant awareness of it's own stupidity.

While I agree YOLO is stupid, I feel like there is self-awareness to it that makes me hate it less than other phrases.

But your spiritual presence will be there to guide her through the ultimate test of her capabilities, right?

I feel like starting with men who are in their early forties right now and younger, there is a huge wave of dads who are much more involved and nurturing than their previous generations. This of course makes sense with the growing equality of men and women's roles, but I also think it is a growing cultural thing as…

I'm sure it varies with men as much women, but the men I know seem to favor their daughters slightly more than sons. Interestingly, the men I know with kids are Asian, which contain many cultures that still more institutionally favor sons over daughters, so maybe it's a way of bucking the trend?

I thought that too but I've never been able to find where I read that after the first time I saw it.

I'd bet a ton of money that he has heart attack in the second to last or last episode of this season. Don't think lung cancer is in his future though.

Tostadas!

You are being unreasonably combaative. I think what he was saying was pretty darn clear.

Tell me about it. Mexican family living slowly adopting American standards of beauty. It's a mindfuck.

I think the point is that it doesn't have to be one or the other.

Yes. I agree with you.

Ugh. Whatever my feelings about plastic surgery are, why are we staring in sympathy at pictures of women who have had surgery for such a variety of reasons that we can't possibly know what is going going through their minds? Some may be sitting there with the weight of societal pressure on their minds and some may be…
