Jeez, such hostility and childish behavior that's exhibited by some grownups is just astounding.
On another board I visit, we're talking about women breastfeeding in public.
One women in the discussion openly proclaimed
So if I am at the mall, and I sit on a bench, and a woman sits next to me, and whips out her boob, I am going to ask her to do it somewhere else because I don't want to look at her booband when she was challenged on this, just because she didn't like it on a personal level, she said that she felt perfectly within her rights to tell these women what she thought because their actions were offensive to her
What you do about it is your own decision. But if you do something I find unpleasant, be prepared to hear about it. That's all.When this was pointed out to her as rude and childish (only children blurt out to complete strangers their personal likes and dislikes) for such an innocuous act, she replied
Personally, I think keeping your mouth shut when something annoys you makes you a weakling that is going to be taken advantage by othersAnd this is an adult human being.
A grownup who has no concept of manners or empathy or understanding of any way other than her own.
So I suggested she travel to the east side of her city and find some gang members and tell them out loud she finds them offensive instead of picking on nursing mothers.
