Honest to Betsy...

Where is it written down that you -- yeah, you -- have the inalienable right to never be offended by anything, anywhere?

Also? Where did the notion that the whole world must be child-safe, and that "adult activities" are some kind of scary deviation. The last time I looked, the world wasn't being run by children -- No; allow me to rephrase: the world wasn't being run by innocents. My point, however, stands.

Look at that jellyfish...

[mbarker.livejournal.com]

Once, some years past, I was walking on a beach and happened to pass a pair of youngsters. They were squatting in the sand, poking at something with a stick. I peeked over their shoulders at about the time that the little boy turned to the littler girl and said, "See, that's a jellyfish." And gave it a good strong poke.

I turned and walked on, sternly telling myself not to laugh, at least out loud.

I recognized a used and knotted condom, presumably discarded by some Romeo of the sand dunes the night before. But there was no way I was going to interrupt the two little ones exploring their universe to provide my adult explanation. I think their version worked fine.

And having watched children in various stores, I doubt very much that they will pay attention to whatever incited this person's lust...er, dismay. If they even notice it, it will probably only garner a what'sat or an eeew.

Idjits will be with us forever, I guess. Letting them take over? Nah, we don't have to do that. Just spank them and send them on their way.

no, no no; they might discover they like that.

How about being a PARENT?

You had them, YOU WATCH THEM, PROTECT THEM, and

EDUCATE THEM with your own V A L U E S

Do you think we could get his parents to keep him out of Spenser's? Now that would be an amusing turn of events...
