LOL, I hear you, OTP. I got in trouble for telling Piestrider that it was safe to eat food past the "sell by" date.

Eisenschwarz I think the lady desires the place to bee a retreat into the happier thought of childhood, to escape the annoying present.
Everyone needs and escape once in a while, leave them to their happy thoughts and been done with it please. Why rain on the parade? |

Yes you are right, successive generations usually do produce their own savants. However, each generation still has to prove itself. In respect to the second quote, it is undeniable that the litigious landscape of our nation has changed dramatically in the past 40 years and as a consequence society has followed suit. Many look for a scapegoat, from executives to individuals. While the desire to shift blame has always been prevalent in all societies at all times, our current legal landscape has made it more acceptable than it was and thus more prevalent. At the risk of being offensive and to repeat what has been said before….you do sound like a frustrated liberal trying to pick a fight. No harm intended.....just an observation. Please be kind to LadyZekke, she didn't intend to offend with her harmless post. [ 11-09-2002, 06:50 PM: Message edited by: onthepequod ]

Thank you Gabriel and Onthepequod [img]smile.gif[/img]
Eisenschwarz - If you want to debate this subject, please do it on your own thread and not here. I made this thread as a fun thing, a happy thing, for people to post their childhood memories. |
