I respectfully disagree, common sense is better that it was in my day. Notice that young people have adapted to not saying things that offend other people. It comes natural to them where our older generation is so ingrained to be rude to whatever we see as different than our way. Things said by our generation with no intent of disrespect, is finally recognized by many new generation youth as horribly disrespectful. The young folks have it right. We need to take their advice on what is disrespectful to others.

Does not mean they are right...and no thanx!

True, but I feel they are better at it than our generation. They are better at issues of religion, race and the environment than we were for reasons of education and improved communication.

I would agree with you, Golingnuts. I am sure when you were a boy back in Iowa that there were mainly Protestants, some Catholics, and all white, and the Iowa motto of "if a little fertilizer works good - a whole lot more works better".

You nailed that one. Wow. Were you my neighbor?

No, just some things I learned from my friends, Olie and Lena. :wave:
