I guess US culture continues to seek the lowest common denominator. Being respectful of others apparently is a characteristic of elderly these days. I guess the ultimate in grossness and disrespect is something we should aspire to?
Words only offend if you let them. And the more you let them, the more some will try to offend you with them. Same with bullies: give them the opportunity, and they’ll make your life miserable. Ignore them, and they’ll realize they can’t hurt you and stop trying.
“Everything I need to know I learned in Kindergarten.” And then we grow up and forget it all.
We were taught your rights ended where the other guys began people to day seem to think the other guy doesnt have any old Khrushchev said our liberties would be our down fall . You might have the right to do something but is it the right thing to do. You guys dont realize you have the obligation to use rights responsible and be civil you have the right to swear but it shows lack of education and respect for others

No, Mike is correct. Pop culture created today’s crass society. Sorry if you don’t see it that way, Reflex.
