Does this have anything to do with nymphomaniac nuns? Maybe?

Backwards Cornfield Races: Oh well, time for racist chinese jokes and memes now I guess

Lighten up.

Wonder what the parenting memoir of the moment will be next year? Perhaps to attract readers on a new continent: "Why Brazilian Parents Are Superior"?


Less likely to get hairs stuck in the placenta, for one thing.

They call him mother superior because of the length of his habit.
Also- why would they have the buy this photo option for that?

Wow! That's 2 Xes dirtier than XXX mothers!

I was expecting a scientific discussion about a genetic condition that results in multiple x chromosomes, not x's representing a crossed out word. Very disappointed.

Article failed to deliver on titillating headline. Booooo!

Article didn't discuss any of the salient points in the WSJ article, namely that the kids in France are better behaved than their American counterparts.

Heard a blurb about that on NPR today. The gist was they teach their children that it is up to them to learn from adults and to act like adults. They believe that children are capable of understanding and learning how to behave in a mature manner They are not babied, coddled or treated as "snowflakes" and they adjust to adulthood much better.

Also they get to burn cars on both happy and angry occasions.

Sounds pretty awesome to me.

itwasabright: Maybe some mothers are superior or not superior and this has nothing to do with race, ethnicity, or class. Many of these type of books seem very prejudiced in the fact that they are covertly putting down some ethnic groups by promoting others, who are promoted as having superior values.

/or not

If you ask an Irish person what makes Irish people unique, they will tell you "in order to understand the Irish, you need to understand Irish mothers."

If you ask a Ju/'hoansi hunter what makes the Ju/'hoansi unique, they will tell you "in order to understand the Ju/'hoansi, you must understand Ju/'hoansi mothers."

If you ask a Warlpiri person what makes the Warlpiri unique, they will tell you "in order to understand the Warlpiri people, you must first understand Warlpiri mothers."

Every society is under the impression that the mothers in that society are distinctly different from mothers in every other society. They are each "totally different," just like all the others.

Since we usually only get one mother, it's difficult to dispute the claim.

Ancient XXXXX secret, huh?

Imagine that. Using firm, consistent (but fair) discipline with children usually results in well-adjusted adults, and that the family as a whole is more important than the child. Go figure.

Headline aside, I'd XXXXX her.

Her resemblance to Kimora Lee Simmons only makes it stronger for me.

jingks: colithian: "Chinese" is not an ethnicity any more than "American".

Given that 92% of the PRC, 98% of the ROC are Han Chinese I think it counts as an ethnic group.

I just want to note that it is my belief that the Han isn't really an ethnic group at all, but rather the assimilated end product of thousands of years of imperial expansion. In a sense, it's more of a superset of ethnic groups, which, by mechanism of conquest, has ended up sharing a common culture and (sort of) a common language (although there's a ton of dialects in China still, Hakka, Fujianhua, Putonghua, Guandonghua, etc.)
