Obsolete Saying? - k.d. - 12-16-2018

"Boys will be boys"?


RE: Obsolete Saying? - j.p. - 12-16-2018

I don't think so.

But it seems that the attempt to stop referring to rape and sexual harassment as "boys will be boys" is a good thing.

It does bother me that the "me tooers" do not allow for forgiveness and redemption.


RE: Obsolete Saying? - k.d. - 12-16-2018

You mean by banning "Baby, It's Cold Outside" from airplay because it is a song about a rapist? The World has gone crazy. Include me out.


RE: Obsolete Saying? - j.p. - 12-17-2018

The song is not banned. The song is still being played. My guess is that it's being played more than ever because of the controversy.

I will agree that the World has gone crazy. Religious/pagan rituals tend to make people crazy. Just insist on wishing strangers a Merry Christmas, especially if you think it offends them.

BTW, do you know anybody that would be offended by being wished a Merry Christmas ? Me neither. Don't think such an individual exists. It seems that we worry more about the "War on Christmas" more than the other wars we're in combined.


RE: Obsolete Saying? - k.d. - 12-17-2018

Thank you for pointing out that I used the wrong word -'BANNED' I hate when I do that. But you are correct, the song is not banned but it isn't being played on certain radio stations.

Again, you are correct, I know no one who is offended by the salutation, 'Merry Christmas'. However, you will be hard-pressed to find any media, TV, Radio, or print that uses it. It is "Happy Holidays. They are too afraid someone might be offended, while offending most of us.


RE: Obsolete Saying? - j.p. - 12-17-2018

Saying something to purposely offend someone, offends me.


RE: Obsolete Saying? - k.d. - 12-17-2018

I have never heard anyone say 'Merry Christmas' to purposely offend anyone. Have you?


RE: Obsolete Saying? - j.p. - 12-17-2018

Just the threats to do so. So, I'm assuming they did. My wife's facebook feed is loaded with that crap.


RE: Obsolete Saying? - k.d. - 12-17-2018

Someone actually said, "I'm going to say Merry Christmas to you just to offend you." That would be quite a heads-up warning.


RE: Obsolete Saying? - j.p. - 12-17-2018

Pretty much. Only in the form of cute memes on social media. Don't think any of them have the guts to warn them in person.
