  • "Family values" in USA : spreading hatred toward gays.

    Family values in European Union:

    1) One year maternity leave for each child

    2) Ability to add your sick parent to your health insurance policy

    3) Ability to obtain health care policy with "preexisting condition"

    4) Free education system for everyone, even most poor kids

    5) Politicians who do not talk about family values, but put their deeds where their mouth are.

    AMERICANS ARE BUNCH OF HYPOCRYTES.

  • The reality is that there are two sets of values, and *either can be okay*, when it comes to raising kids. (It is a *myth* that only one side of the political spectrum has problems with abuse.)

    The important thing is consistency. Everyone knows, obeys, and enforces rules viewed as legitimate.

    Conservative parents will "produce" kids who are good workers, disciplined and hard working.

    Liberal parents will "produce" kids who are creative and sensitive.

    Society needs both.

  • @zdenko1945 No authoritarianism in the 'free education system' where teachers can't be fired right? And why only maternity leave, why no leave for fathers? (Oh yeah, because fathers are evil.) It's funny too how all of these 'anti-authoritarian' goals call for a more powerful and much more authoritarian government.

  • @ZerqTM Strong mothers aren't a picnic either, let me tell you.

  • A more balanced approach would be to be strict when it's appropriate and nurturant when it's appropriate.

  • Thanks for having this video posted. This is so informative and comprehensive. This made those issues easy to understand.

  • @zdenko1945 You are an unbelievable idiot.
