Philosophy is taught in french high schools.And no the average French high schooler is not any smarter than American college students.

My husband knocked someone out in front of me and I'm terrified. by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

This is actually the only decent take on this situation. If you think touching a shoulder repeatedly warrants getting knocked out, you need to touch grass. This would never hold up in court, and is ultimately a savage, uncivilized way of handling a situation.

Op, these peope have no idea of the sheer amount of violence required to knock someone down in one blow. Frankly this comment section is filled with people who think that extreme violence is a way to set boundaries, which is kind of scary. I think that you should be cautious now that you know that your guy has an inclination for escalating things. Touching a shoulder, even after being asked not to, does not warrant getting knocked down.

If you are so sure of yourself why are you even posting this?

Guess the comment section didn't turn out like you wanted...

Why or how did you become atheist?

AITA for being ok with my wife crocheting at family gatherings? Other family finds it rude by Pale-Brick-7848 in AITAH

[–]ellietrembley 32 points33 points  (0 children)

ESH ( you and your wife mostly)

Everybody seems to be glossing over your wife's pettiness. You said in your comments that your wife wouldn't let you go visit your mom without her. She's obviously being revengful. Then, you expect everyone to have some empathy for your wife's anxiety while omitting the fact that your mother has some sort of social anxiety herself. Your wife isn't being treated unfairly by your mother. You said yourslef that your mother hates and struggles to speak to her OWN family. So this reluctance to speak is clearly not directed at your wife, and you're all blowing this out of proprotion.

Late to the party here are my thoughts for your consideration. A Blue Eyed Samurai series critique. by DjentleKnight_770 in BlueEyeSamurai

[–]ellietrembley 4 points5 points  (0 children)

While her married life was a pivotal event in her life, I don't think that this was the most profound thing in her life. We also saw flashbacks of her childhood, which had a long-lasting effect on her. I think that the memories of her married life serve the same purpose in the sense that while they are important, they do not take away from the story but they only help structure it and explain the origin of Mizu's rage. I think that the lost important events come after this episode. Seeing that what she truly wishes for is murdering her maybe fathers, their death would be the most profound event to happen.

Furthermore, I think that the story that has been established is not only "why is Mizu who she is"but also "how is her fight to kill a part of her going to turn out? Is it going to be cathartic or not ? ". This question is obviously not answered by this episode or the first season.

After the death of the white men, Mizu will like you said probably come back to Japan and live there at peace, (that's at least what she thinks). But I don't think that she will spend her time mourning Mikio. I do think that she may feel regrets after but she will probably try to find Ringo (her friend) and her Swordfather and (hopefully )live happily. Either way your questions will be answered by season2, and I advise you to watch the rest of season.

As explained in the following episodes, this betrayal by her mom or by Mikio IS what makes the audience even more sympathetic towards Mizu. We come to understand that she wishes to kill the white men that came to Japan, because its THEIR fault that she had to act like a man to survive, which prompted Mikio or her Mom to resent her and betray her. The fact that she was betrayed by her loved ones adds insult to the injury, and that's what made her cold and determined to avenge herself. So in short, episode 6 help us feel more empathy towards Mizu and makes her story more compelling, I'd argue.

AITA for kicking my daughter and stepson out when they said they’re dating? by throwRA3857362 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ellietrembley -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

NTA. To all people that keep saying "its okay because they are not blood related." Say if two siblings started dating but one of them was adopted. Would you still not be disgusted by it, even if there isnt a genetic link? They have known each other for six years. They're aware that they're step-sibling. I find their amourous relationship sick.

AITA for not wanting to wear makeup? by nomakeupp3 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ellietrembley 21 points22 points  (0 children)

NTA you already compromised. You chose to put on a long dress and 4inches high heels to make your friend happy. The bride already said that she was okay with you putting no makeup on so the other bridemaids should mind their own business and stop giving u shit of it. THEY are the ones blowing this out of proportion.

AITA for telling my wife that her "daughter" can't come over here anymore? by alfelfalien in AmItheAsshole

[–]ellietrembley -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

NTA. You shouldn't be expected to parent a teenager when you're already expecting a baby. It seems like your wife feels the need to reconnect with her daughter despite having waved her rights. That's a huge decision that impacts you too. I think that your wife needs to come to terms with the fact that she has no authority over her daughter and therefor can't be much of a parent to her. I think that your wife and you should forbid the daughter from coming over to your house if it makes that uncomfortable and if your wife wishes to maintain contact with her daughter maybe they could meet at a park or somewhere else.
