“”I was born in 1949...””
Let’s just say I was born long before then and have lived in the real world for a long time and have seen and heard a lot. Don’t know what I could consider my years in a fantasyland but some people can’t help but get the jab in...
I don’t care where the conversation took place. If people weren’t raised to know that speaking like that was wrong in ANY setting, then that’s sad. What right do you or anyone else have to ask us to accept what we find objectionable or in this case, throw out our belief system ?
I am sure guys spoke like that in the locker rooms at school but I also know that they were careful not to let the coach hear them. Did they talk like that in class or in the hallways? ABSOLUTELY NOT! Military - oh! yes. I married one and the excuse was always, “You have to remember where I spent the last 4 years.” Sure!! Guys didn’t learn to talk like that in the military. They were used to talking like that. Poor excuse! You didn’t know anyone in the military who didn’t use that language?
As for Bill and Hillary Clinton, what a dumb question. Am I on FR because I think they’re model citizens? Some people just lose all sense of perspective when they run up against someone with an opposing opinion. Good grief!
“...What right do you or anyone else have to ask us to accept what we find objectionable...”
Kindly show me where I ask you do accept anything....
I think what I said to you was that I don’t expect you to say anything...
Looking back, yes, that’s exactly what I said to you:
“I don’t expect you to say it’s OK...I don’t expect you to say anything really...”
I’m a guy, I was born in 1954. In the 1980s, when car pooling was popular, I car pooled with 4 women for several years. Being the only guy, I stayed quiet most of the time, the girls would forget that a guy was present. Well, let me just say that guys have nothing on the girls when it comes to talk regarding the other sex and sexual encounters.
I respect that you are offended by it. I just wanted to say that it is not exclusive to guys.
