Re: At Competition
Everyone seems to be so caught up on the "young ladies" side of things here. Different people are raised differently, and there are many places where young men are taught to be "polite" around young ladies. I can't say Im in this camp or agree/don't agree, but I think its silly here to focus on that, rather than on the issue (profanity).
I'll be honest, occassionally its refreshing to look back at the old style of thought... I love it when a guy opens a door for me, or one story that I love to relate is I went to dinner with several co-workers and a group of our customers from Romania. All of my co-workers and the head sales guy walked into the room we were going to eat dinner in, and thinking I would be polite, I held back to let our customers go first... none of them would enter the room until I did because I was the only "lady" there. Part of it made me blush, and yes, I realize that often comes with the stigma that women cant get as high professionaly as men, but I think the core of it is being polite to other people, and upholding moral values. Im not saying people here dont have morals, but society now adays grows away from it in claims of "free speech" and "equality". I was shocked when this happened because I was so used to equality coming with lack of chivalry. They both listened to me at dinner and presented this chivalrous attitude.
Im not saying everything we do has to be women or men, chivalry or not, my point is that there are different ways that people are brought up... K-dawg is obviously from a different school of thinking than most students that read this are. Im somewhere in between. Agree or dont agree with the profanity issue, but stop attacking the "young ladies" comment.
