Hour 2: HOLLYWOOD UPDATE: A look at "Two and a Half Men" star Charlie Sheen and his recent troubles -
TOPIC: what are the trials and tribulations of living in the public eye?
Hour 3: Open Lines / Callers 888 775-3773
Hey Tiger Mother, ever wonder why suicide attempts are so high among Asians? Helicopter parents are bad, but tiger mother is the opposite extreme. I suffered under a tiger mother—the best spot is the love of a mother who knows and expresses God’s love, where there is balance and stability.
b>888 775-3773 p>The guest, Dr. Lac Su, is rebutting the author of "Tiger Mom" who said that a tough mom was responsible for the success of Asian children in school
He wrote..."I love you's are for white people". HE says asians don't say "i love you". They show they love them through action...."his dad beat him up". His dad told him once when he told his dad he loved him, "I love yous are for white people".
He HAD to bring A's home. He was allowed to play with other kids (most Asian kids aren't)...but he had to work really hard to do that. He was called 'stupid', retarded, etc. all the time. They played a lot of mind games and reverse psychology.
Jesse asked how did it make him feel. Guest thought his father was right. He resented him. It was in his mind, but not his heart. He just wished he had a white dad.
Jesse asks did his mother go along with this? He says yes, but he likes to think she was horrified deep down. Sometimes she would try to intervene. They even tried to make him eat raw cows brains. He had to eat it every weekend for a year...Yuck!
Caller says that all nations have a different culture. Asks does he hate his culture? No he says, he hates the abusive behaviors taught his father?
He says he communicates and shows affection to his kids now. Jesse says if he can forgive his parents. His inner conflict will disappear if he can just forgive him. JEsse says he needs to talk to them and have an open and honest dialogue about how he felt, and how it affected him. Then he can walk away free. Good Jesse advice!
Guest is really afraid to talk to dad. But he said he would talk to his parents and call Jesse back and tell him how it went.
They are talking about Charlie Sheen, and his show, 2 1/2 Men. Jesse loves the show, because it is real life like. Kelly says Sheen was in rehab. as a result of being sick. He wants to retire and live in a mansion with porn queens living there and they would babysit his kids. History of drug abuse, history of womanizing.
I guess he is undergoing his rehabilitation at home now. Jesse says he is going to kill himself. Also, when he doesn't show up on the show it costs up to $250 Million!
Jesse likes the show because it is not politically correct, more like the shows of the 50's. His dad is Martin Sheen but he is not like that.
Talking about black women, he says Carol Mosley Braun ripped into an opponent for "being strung out on crack for years." at a debate at Jerimiah Wrights ex church in Chicago! Hah! She refused to take questions after but in a DVD of the event it shows her saying that! I can imagine. Just lie! Whenever they want they just lie, slander their opponent! Jesse says that this is what it is like in black churches today! Ala, Jerimiah Wright. Jesse said the opponent would probably win since people think she's a crack head! JEsse plays clip of Obamas...Dreams of my Fathers he says "There are ignorant mother f....s like you!"....that's the president of the United States.
“So are you saying you had a tiger mom and you approve?”
I had a tiger mother and I strongly DISAPPROVE. There’s a reason so many asian kids attempt suicide. Constant verbal abuse will do that to a kid.
Miracles happen. Perhaps his Father will hear him, and apologize for his hard ignorant ways. MOO.
Oh, I see what you mean. I agree. I didn’t know they were like that. Asian women are so graceful and ladylike many times...hard to imagine.
Well, if I may speak for jesse....he knows that about parents. But actually if you do YOUR part by acknowledging you were wrong for hating them, judging them, and apologizing, that is all you have to do. You will be free. If they don’t forgive you, or call you a liar, that is their problem. Also, it is surprising that many will apologize back and you can discuss it with them and put it behind you. NOT ALL, NOT ALL, NOT ALL! But many times they will admit it.
“Asian women are so graceful and ladylike many times”
In public. In private it’s a whole other story.
Oh, I think most women are like that.
