Getting Into The Family Business

AITOOW thinks you can't marry a person with a mommy or daddy complex if yours is not dead? No matter how much older you are than them (even if you started out as the parental replacement figure), your mommy or daddy become that missing parent they desire and you are disintermediated. The misplaced attention (and respect possibly love/lust) is rerouted to the patriarch/matriarch. You become a sibling. One whom they are trying to supersede in the hierarchy of parental approval. There must be some crazy sexual/political dynamics going on when you insert one of these psychologically needy people into a household of one those cultures where the family all lives together.

Too Few Cooks In The Kitchen

AITOOW doesn't understand why cooks on these competitive cooking shows never use a thermometer for meats? They always over or under cook something. Why leave it to chance?

Because I Said So

AITOOW thinks that if you insert "because" in place of "if" you have the appropriate response to all those sorts of arguments? IE - If A does X then why should we do Y. BECAUSE A does X we should do Y. Real world example from a response in USA Today about Plan B - "Teens are having sex without parental consent, so WHY shouldn't they buy the pill without it? Because Teens (Y) are having sex (X) without parental consent AND SHOULDN'T (matter of opinion), they shouldn't be able to buy the pill without it too. I'm not saying I agree with the counter argument, but, it is a nice rhetorical trick.

Incest Is Best

AITOOW wants to know why - if love scenes are only "acting" and there is no "attraction" associated with the action - there have been no love scenes cast between actors who are related? If it is merely part of the "craft" and not a free pass to cheat, why won't they participate in these roles with family members?

Obanics

AITOOW longs for the days when black people just wanted to turn their gibberish (inability to master proper English vocabulary and grammar) into their own language (ebonics). Now they (actually at the behest of their white liberal overlords) are purposefully trying to redefine the language so words have no meaning. After already eroding the definition of unemployment by eliminating most of the cohort (long term unemployed) from the definition, they are now trying redefine unemployment as retirement. Not to say that some small percentage of the newly jobless did not "voluntarily" retire, but, I wager it was/is a de minimus number. The reality is that there has been little to no real change in the unemployment numbers since the '08 depression and no amount of sophistry will change that. I'm not even blaming that on Bambi, but, I am blaming him for misrepresenting the facts (to his benefit).

Weather is Here, Wish You Were Fine

AITOOW who is disappointed (but not surprised) that the next generation prefers social media sites that predominantly allow them to taunt? It's a culture of non-stop self-aggrandizement. Where are all the bitter Irish townies nowadays? They would have slapped down these superficial boasters for big timing. Not to say that many of their elders aren't guilty of the same mindless braggadocio. But, at least they... Aww hell they're just as pretentious. Maybe we need a site that ranks people like a tennis ladder. You put in what you are doing and it ranks who is winning at life.

Lazy Fare

AITOOW thinks the laissez-faire attitude of most Millennias is a reflection of their lackadaisical attitude rather than a surplus of tolerance? They just refuse to to be bothered with choosing let alone defending a position. They have never had to fight for anything in their lives and just can't conceive of why you would want to.
