Can’t wait to see what a certain neurotic poster with an oedipal complex will do with this one !
.
Something that I have noticed living in South America. Adolescent and preadolescent boys are not afraid to show affection in public to their parents – especially towards their mothers. They don;t exhibit that Anglo-Saxon reticence to express their feelings or emotions in front of their peers.
.
Boys and men are unafraid to show their love and devotion to their moms. Unfortunately, when it comes to wives and girlfriends, there is a machismo attitude pervasive,here.
.
If they carried over the respect they have for their mothers, to other women, we would see less domestic abuse and violence, that is all too prevalent.
None of my brothers ever had any trouble showing affection to our mother, OR their wives, for that matter…and two of them are former Army (the 3rd is a bi-vocational minister where his other job is in medicine).
I remember a kid at a restaurant one time blurting out “Well, I didn’t ask to be born!” I had to restrain from commenting “Does that mean you’ll never ask anyone to be born?”
The proper response to this is “just because right now you are feeling sorry that you ’didn’t ask to be born’ doesn’t make it a smart move to make everyone around you also sorry that you were born…”
The Tahitian hongi is rubbing noses, or at least pressing them together. The Maori ethnologist Te Rangi Hiroa (Sir Peter Buck) facetiously claimed that is why Polynesians have wide, flat noses, it isn’t genetic, but made that way from the hongi. Now that they have adopted the French air kissing (“sniffing earlobes”) custom, I have noticed only the elderly have the flat noses.

Well, since his hands are ALWAYS shoved in his pockets, this isn’t surprising

Even a lame hug is better than no hug at all.

Lynn Johnston sent a message to her son in 1987 she wanted a hug via her comic strip. My guess he didn’t get her message and she remained hugless.
