understanding of your underlying feelings. tucker: i get it. i believe everything you are saying. i totally get it. on the other hand i think a lot of the psychobabble stuff may be true, but it doesn t answer the basic question which is, at what age are you responsible for your own life? is there a cut off? is it 30, is it 40, is it 50? at what point do you stop saying my mom did this to me and start taking responsibility for your own actions? p is there an age? that s an excellent question. i suppose that we help our children take responsibility for themselves. are you a dad? don t you help your kids take responsibility for themselves? tucker: if my kids ever have problems and say mom was mean to me, you can t do that. i m sorry. you re 30 years old. you re doing this. stop it. here s a problem with the ad. of course, we ll have to take responsibility for ourselves. but what if you re obese, you re unaware of the factors that have led to the obesity, you re a victim of child
20 slim do are using. she did not want to be associated with this headline, so she posted on instagram. she posted the image and a veryo lengthy caption saying that she has her own reasons for diet and weight loss and that she is associating her own with anxieto disorder and mocking the magazine, basically attributing it also to politics and planned parenthood cuts, and she s just tucker: planned parenthood cuts caused her to lose weight? is that a recognized weight loss technique? apparently, according to lena dunham. she s blaming politics. tucker: hasn t helped me at all.g scaring you into losing weight. tucker: can you beat that? mtv movie awards last night gave a gender-neutral actingke award not for the first time, for the third time. they did it again in 2006 and 2007.
