My dad said the other night that he was glad he was born when he was and will be gone soon as he is so frustrated by the constant whining by people about how they have been offended by a comment, he wants to know what happened to either ignoring it or telling the person to their face...he says everything is now blown up out of all proportion and somebody who say calls so.ebody love can be treated like a criminal
What an excellant post, very well put and I'm so glad that someone like you (Younger and prettier
) has said this, pretty much sums up my feelings.
