Sure, but they didn't have much in the way of studies to back up the homosexuality-as-disorder claim. They do for the corporal punishment one.

Hey come on. Give psychologists more credit than that. It's become a lot more scientific now.

Really it was the Minko slap that got me. Way to sow the seeds of distrust amongst your employees, granny.

Yeah, Grandma needs room to develop, and this gives her plenty.

Speaking of character development, I noticed that they not-so-subtly marked Ohana's starting point, complete with a conversation with Ko over what she plans to do after high school, where she gives the stock carefree response of "who knows". Look for Ko, or someone else to give her the "It's like you're a different person now" speech some time in the second half

Sure, sure, but don't you think it's possible that psychologists in the future will consider us just as backwards as we consider those from a century ago? It's an ever-evolving field, after all.

Yeah, that was intentional on her part. This way, Ohana feels even more terrible than she would otherwise.

Cultural and time bias is a known criticism in pychological studies as well as psychological theories. If that happens then I think it will likely be a measured and rational response. Hey there could be some bias but I don't think it will be too much.

I'd sue that grandmother anytime for child violence or mistreat of an under-aged employee.

Though, I've seen her archetype thousands times over, it'll actually be a plot twist if she's revealed to be really bad.

Although I'm not really against punishments like that, slapping the face twice till your nose bleed is really going over the top. It's no better than punching in the eye to make it bruised. Actually, I'm against slapping in general. Nothing good comes out of it. Spanking and pinching are acceptable as an educative means in early ages. Though...

Quote:
Slapping them at that age is about the only viable form of corporal punishment, it is something that can't be shrugged off and is humiliating when others are present to witness it.
This I quite agree. But like I said, parents don't usually punish their children till they bleed, and certainly not to leave mark at visible places. Especially not to a girl. Also, pinching can actually quite hurt if you do it right.

Also adding: I think the grandmother's view that the "employees comes after last" is not good for business actually. An inn is where you serve customers, taking care of them. How can you properly and satisfyingly serve customers if you can't properly serve yourself? Almost certainly such an inn will have an employee that actually complains to the customers about the way they're treated, and it will lead to rumors and such rumors will lead to less customers. Less customer is bad for business.

Uh. Ohana's nose wasn't bleeding because she got slapped, but because her nose bleeds easily. I have a friend like that.

She was slapped thrice-fold, I believe.

This is true; it was established early on. It's also true for me. Sucks beyond belief, particularly when they just start with no warning.

As others have said, it was established early on that Ohana nosebleeds extremely easily. I imagine any significant amount of blood rushing to her head will cause it.

We don't know the relationship between Minko and the grandmother - since she lives there it isn't too hard to believe that she is more than just an employee. If she is an employee then I disagree with the slap, but if she is fostering her, then it's A-OK.

I'm pretty sure you will be able to say the same for the other sciences, hard or soft. I can easily imagine kids in the future in a science class, reading about today's quantum physicists in their textbooks and going, "lolwut, how could they ever have thought that could even be true?"



On-topic, like I implied in my previous post, I grew up at a time when corporeal punishment was still widely practised; heck, I might have been part of the last generation when it was still possible. I don't remember being slapped though, but then again, my memory sucks, so I wouldn't rely on it over-much.

So I'm on the side of those who doesn't think any worse of the grandmother for doing what she did, not least because I've seen too many kids these days who apparently never got the attitude adjustments they needed. Ugly sight, for sure.

I do find the grandmother's slapping of Minko a tad iffy though, mostly because Minko's not her own child or grandchild. I've never seen that kind of thing, but then again, my place of resident isn't that traditional, so who knows.

Human history has shown us that it is possible for human progress to go backwards. Think of the dark ages.

While I do agree with you here, I think that Ascaloth specified quantum physicists for a reason. There's some wild ideas in quantum physics right now. They're the sort of things that will either one day be confirmed... or come out looking a bit silly to future generations, lol.

Human history is a long process of learning by fucking up over and over again. It's haphazard and stupid, but we learn best by trial and error... and more error.

For every 5000 failures we have, we have someone that finds out something...

I guess this is off-topic, but I actually didn't like the negative reference to quantum theory. Quantum physics is provably true. None of our electronics would work if it weren't. The problem is that it our natural minds find the quantum world very hard to visualize, so non-mathematical descriptions of it can sound pretty desperate. But I don't expect the actual mathematics ever to be proven false: like Newton's understanding of gravity, it will likely be subsumed by greater future theories, rather than replaced.

There are some pretty wild ideas in quantum cosmology right now, but I expect some combination of the wildest (strings, inflation of various kinds, branes, various theories of quantum gravity, multiple universes, etc.) will eventually be proven the best. I think it's the ideas that seem totally normal right now that will be laughed at most in the future. Like the earth being flat. That's obvious to the eye, but quite false. Einstein defined common sense as "the collection of prejudices acquired by age 18." That applies to all of us.

As for telling the two oji-san apart, my characters/seiyuus page helped me.

Quality series or series that try to break out of the norm and try to do something to do different get a lot of discussion . I mean have a look at the Madoka Magica thread... the level of discussion is absurd to the point I've given up tracking it because there's simply too many posts...

I don't think this is legit in this case. People simply have too much time on their hands if they managed to discuss granny for the last seven pages.
