I can think of about a bajillion other things to be "horrified" over before this I'm thinking if something of this nature "horrifies" them, maybe they may not be cut out for parenting.

LeGOATski Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 It's awkward that they hand out the sign. Just put it up front or a small sign on the table. Like a restaurant normally does. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems so many simply don't follow rules. Heck, probably don't know rules exist. Insane what goes on out there. I never cease to be amazed... Yet, that's easy to do. Common civility seems to be eroding. No one gives a shite anymore. People should feel free to stop with the f'ing dogs everywhere! At the restaurant. At Home Depot. At Safeway. On the plane. Really necessary to tow your dog everywhere you go? I love our dogs but it's just easier to leave them at home when out doing errands or to eat.

I know we sorta disagree (we am closer to each than we may think) about politics, but our leaders aren't sending a good message. AND the in charge ain't helping w/his no filter antics. People are following what the leaders do. It's "their turn in power" now and they will say anything to get ahead. I mean... It's not helping. Why I pushed for staus win over demagoguery. I just had a guy in a small boat go ape shiest all over me last weekend @ work. He wanted immediate service, but lock was turned back the other ways, boats going both ways. Nothing I could do! He even went off that I must have voted for "Obama"... What the heck does that even mean? 60 something old white guy... Him and his wife, two lard azzes and starts bitching about his diabetes. Maybe it was his blood sugar getting all crazy. But, he's out on boat, should be prepared. I said I can call Coast Guard, 911 if he is having a diabetic emergency. Oh, I lied to him with a straight face and said I voted for Trump. He didn't know what to say. It's not like 10 of the 13 guys @ my work didn't vote for Trump... They did! Was he just pissed because he thought voting for No-Filter Leader was gonna give him a helicopter to fly over the dam? And no... Not blaming our Prez., (Actually my boss) but he most certainly isn't helping. People can't just turn civility on after the election.

You're right about not getting "ticky tacky," but that is subjective. Anyways, I can still understand why one might get offended. Heck, I don't get the big deal about going to a different restaurant, either. The next place where they don't single people with keeds out probably has food that is just as good.

I will say that this whole thing does not rate a "news story." This story is effectively propaganda. "Man offended at what some might see as a minor slight! Leaves restaurant..."

I don't really look at politics as a huge contributing factor but maybe that's just my perspective coming through. One thing that's has been in the back of my mind (related to the Trump thing) for a while is how lawless our own government has been over the last few decades. Why should I be civil if the top guys feel they don't have to play by the rules? Maybe a stretch I don't know. Maybe is the lude, anything goes pop culture the last 20 years or so? But really it has to be all about upbringing. The helicopter, "not my kid" parents turned an entire generation into narcissistic douche bags? My gut tells me this is probably a bigger reason.

I agree. BUT what is say a guy like Trump doing? Throwing gas on the fire and acting just as lawless. Set a good example. Show decorum, professionalism... Believe me, I am blue collar guy behind the blue firewall... He can speak to my populist ways... But NOT if he is amoral. Just because others have done bad things, you don't double them up. You tone down rhetoric and lead by example, not even worse fiat. Edited May 9, 2018 by ExiledInIllinois Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
