The Nuclear Family Vs The Extended Family.

2007-06-18T20:10:00.000-07:00

The Nuclear Family Vs The Extended Family.

I Remember when i was growing up in Sheepshead Bay Brooklyn very well. I lived with my parents and twin elder bothers. I Guess that is almost the definition of a Nuclear family.

How about you? Doesn't seem to be many other choices to be a kid in America.

Public school elementary classes made us do current events reports, which were just re-reports actually. Back in high school, I could never grasp how my vote was worth anything. Get this, some college I never knew existed before this very moment... Those votes MATTERS. Reminded me of the Footclan.

I was reading the news recently and caught eye of a public school making all touching illegal. No more handshakes. No more spin the spin the bottle. No more child love, just more spying on each other. This reminded me of Highschool. Nuclear families vs extended families being the subject.

Nuclear family is the machine telling us is that life is only YOU,THE PERSON YOU FUCKED, and the KIDS YOU MADE. It doesnt include everyone else... they are the same as you anyway, they fucked someone else, and abondonded everyone else... including slaves and survants and mistresses. its just the Nuclear family is the american way... starting around 1947.

"The family is a social group characterized by common residence, economic cooperation and reproduction. It contains adults of both sexes, at least two of whom maintain a socially approved sexual relationship, and one or more children, own or adopted, of the sexually cohabiting adults."

They made it seem normal to say "go FUCK yourself" to family members and live with one person and some kids you cant stand because no one will help you care for them.

and dont forget, that kid will someday be one person they fucked and some kids they had.

The nuclear family is american, the extended family is immagrant reflected.

Was the system right? Do you believe this is TRUE?

Spiderman 3 review

2007-05-07T19:45:00.000-07:00

Scenes like this (above) made the movie wack-tastic... Brocks character was a penis, and way too weenie sized. .Sandmans effects were amazing at times, but I will never understand his tie in with Parkers gramps. In the end,it was more of a romantic beat-em up with still too little Rami/Cambell action. I give it a 6.89779 out of 9.87.
