How about people learn what they like and don't like (and WHY)? How about we stop pushing away negative emotions the second they appear? How about we develop a real identity? You can't grow a personal taste if you only get fed what you instinctively like, you also have to go through the stinkers.
- geraldwhen 3y agoIdentity has nothing to do with which unpopular movies or books you happen to enjoy. My kids live with me and we often watch and play things together. They’re not holed up in their rooms living sad lives of isolation. For that reason, we’re never going to watch trash. Gabby’s Dollhouse will never, ever be on any screen in my house. I refuse.

There's a keen difference you know, people can have their own opinions on things without taking cues from the crowd. Anyway, putting down bad books isn't an Americanism. Why do you let Americans live rent free in your mind?
