You can apply the same to the second amendment too. In the perfect world we would not need to have laws or courts, would we? I am in total agreement with you and the typical busybody....typically they are the ones who need to put their house in order. I guess if a LEO tickets you then they are a busybody.bdickens wrote:
No such agreement exists on the street. Or in WalMart. With all due respect, neither place is TexasCHLforum.com and the standards here are not applicable there.
I'm not excusing anything. It just really irks me all the busybodiness going around today. Everywhere you go, there's a bunch of do-gooders sticking their noses into other people's private business telling them how to speak, how to raise their children -- it goes on and on.
The evidence of our efforts is in what we leave behind.
That is the way it is supposed to be. Standing up and letting someone know when they have overstepped their bounds is not judging someone. Using that logic in the manner you prescribe would result in anarchy.bdickens wrote: I found that my life improved dramatically for the better when I stopped worrying about what other people were supposed to be doing and instead concentrated on what I was supposed to be doing.
I have no idea how you reacted to your mother's speech. My mother still to this day has no qualms about using the "N" word and uses the excuse that she is a product of her environment. My sons have never heard that word from me and I refuse to allow her to speak that way in my house. The excuse "that is the way I was raised." carries no weight in a civilized, educated society.bdickens wrote:That's a mighty big assumption you make. You don't know me from Adam. For all you know, growing up in the trailer court in West Virginia, my mother could have had a mouth on her that would make a sailor blush. Not everyone grew up as sensitive and civilized as you. But when I come to your house for a visit, I will certainly respect your wishes.
I suppose all LEO should just mind their own business.bdickens wrote: This whole incident under discussion boils down to some busybody who had his tender virgin ears assaulted by a stranger's colorful language in a public place and chose to throw his badge and his "authority" around instead of acting like an adult and minding his own business.
