[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm 2nd generation and my husband grew up in another country (my parents'). Even with being intimately familiar with both how my husband was raised, and how I myself was raised, it's really hard. I have empathy for my kids (likely a lot more than my DH or my parents) but at the end of the day, I cannot stomach the extreme individualism encouraged by this culture. It's become even worse than 30 years ago. The sheer lack of empathy for others outside your immediate circle is disgusting. I am strongly encouraging them to attend college outside this country. [/quote] What? [/quote] How is this not obvious? Laws that support the individual rather than the collective abound here (lack of universal healthcare, gun rights, protection of minor offenders because they are minors, lack of really meaningful environmental protections).
