Watch TV, Learn About Men

Don't you just love numbering? It makes things so easy to follow!
What else makes things easy to follow? Proper indentations! Tabs! :D:D
That's why Vi editor doesn't get my vote.

1. After watching, Miami Vice, I learned that when a guy asked you if you had a secret stash , such as a a secret mansion, bank account; if you wanted to stop drug smuggling and disappear with your money BY YOURSELF, you need to be alarmed because he is an undercover cop!!

Men lust for money more than women. If a man tells you to not be greedy and leave while you can, red lights should flash everywhere and loud speaker should go off,"He is a cop! He is a cop!"

P.S. Gong Li saddens me. Lots of the roles she played were seemingly independent women who indeed were submissive to men, and needed men's care and protection to survive.
In this movie, her business partner\the big boss\bed buddy\whatever you want to call him gave her to the second man in command when he found out she was no longer loyalto him. He did not question her in person nor did he give her a chance to explain. It was like giving away a pet. No one asked the pet's opinion because a pet is a pet is a pet. At the will of a man, her man, Gong Li turned from a powerful business woman to a captive. Just like that! Snap!

After the undercover cop saved her and made arrangements to send her away, she asked him no questions. She put up no resistance. Why did he betray her? Why did he save her? Where is he sending her? Is he going with her? Why not? These are my questions. But she wasn't curious like me. She went as she was told. She was just a helpless little girl that needed the big powerful men's rescue after all! Pity!

2. After watching Dexter, I learned that when a girl exclaimed,” WOW! You are the last good men in the world." "You are so perfect!" she ought to realize that he was a serial killer.

Perfection is impossible to achieve.
Imagine the determination it requires to mock perfection CONSISTENTLY.
If a guy can mock perfection, he can do anything, fool anyone. He gets away with killing as easily as a kid gets away with stealing cookies from the kitchen jar. Just hide the crumbs and clean your hands afterwards.

3. After watching Dead Like Me, I learned that it was OK to call men shallow. “Shallow is the new deep, haven’t you heard?” :)
