...my elders taught me to respect my elders and women.
Was that only taught in England?
From what I have seen of late, it obviously was.
Shame on SOME of you.
Put in simpler terms, if something/someone annoys you, don't read their comments.....actually, that advice is something Dex preaches also when people get upset about his comments..
In the past there has been 'outrage' from some people due to the coloUrful language sometimes used by posters, because, "my wife shouldn't have to read that foul language".
My thoughts are really that if you are in a room full of sailors then be accepting of that language and if your not, then don't come here or read it.
Now I am sure having met both of them, and they are BOTH decent people, Dex and Cora can just agree to disagree with one anothers veiwpoints and not read their posts without anyone calling up arms to fight their battles for them.
For those that have made comments about Cora shouldn't be here, then please write to Don, our Host and let hin know how YOU feel. Oh BTW, they are friends, so your letter will be well recieved, "NOT"
Sigh, if this is what getting old is all about.......
Blue...the young one. *_* |

Blue not even close! My days are spent wondering or hoping my bowel's will do it's thing, What can I eat that won't get stuck in my throat and make me go into my fish outta water routine and reading all the different posts of several BBS's and picking my fights very carefully because I just don't want to blow a gasket because of somthing stupid that I have no control over to begin with and isn't of national security.
Thats what getting old is all about for me anyway.
Cheers Blue

Yes Blue, they do teach us here in the colonies that is the proper thing. But it is also an 'Earned' respect. Much like having a butt hole officer above you, you respect the uniform not the man.
Also being a boat sailor meant defending your shipmates in bar room brawls, police raids, irate bar maids, and from inquisitive wives. The key word is defending your Brotherhood of the 'Phin brothers from pushy, arrogant civilians.
