I’m still learning the workings of this forum (I don’t know how to reply to mail messages yet, lol and not sure where they come from either).
I was replying to a post about this situation and went off on a tangent about how we’ve been teaching our children to not fight back, against everything it seems. I probably didn’t state what I meant accurately.
But that was my thought - why don’t we fight back more? I sit here safe at my computer today, too, so like you, I’m not judging anyone, just questioning what we’ve been teaching all these years. I like to think I’m more of a fighter, I know I’m a fighter but not in this particular instance per se, but I know I’ve fought back on a few occasions. I hope I’d fight when it really counted.
It brings me back to the whole Imus/Rutgers thing. How could academic scholar/athletes with so much going for them allow some stupid radio personality ruin their day, let alone their sense of self worth? I’d be damned before I allowed someone that power over me.
It all just makes me question what we’re teaching our children today and how we keep lowering the age of adulthood and responsibility. We’re raising a country of wussies, imo.
Twink, on the “latest posts” page, upper righthand corner you should see highlighted “you have mail” or “new posts to you”. Just click on them. You will see private messages to you in the mail function. You can send private mail by clicking “compose” in upper righthand corner of mail page. Is that clear as mud?
