Now you are getting older - what don't you do?

[Big Barn]

I’ve spent the majority of my life being BS intolerant. I think I’ve mellowed in my old age and try to ignore most of it these days. Life is too short....

Of course it helps not associating with morons and idiots.

Not so tolerant of BS anymore. Tend to call a spade a spade. You don't like to hear the truth - well, BS - the truth is the truth. Don't hold back so much anymore - - let being PC be for those who are PC - I'M NOT. ***** footing is for *******.

Amen! When did everyone become so thin-skinned?

Kind of hard to avoid them being there are so many of them these days. The current political arena and the so called "news" channels are prime examples.

Fools and idiots demanding respect when none has been earned nor deserved. I sure dont get it. Ethnic jokes were funny and no one was offended when they were uttered in fun and not to belittle or hurt. Now, when you "disrespect" a dumbazz, you may get shot in the face with a stolen handgun!

It all depends and today the perception of a slight can finish a career.

One of my born in Ireland friends who is 90 said it best...

All his life people have called him Irishman Tom... (Tom is his first name)

Last summer he was taking his car into the shop and asked for the shop owner saying Chinaman Bill.

He said you would have thought I had cursed his family or was there to rob the place... sure he would have been booted out of the place had he not been 90 years old... the owner went into a rant and Tom didn't know why until one of the employees had to come over to calm everyone...

It has become PC to take even the slightest offhand remark as a MAJOR insult. Many years ago I quit worrying about being PC. Your manhood is now gauged by the vile retort and venomous responses you can muster. It's all lost on me. Put it all where the sun don't shine & squeeze.

as Sarah Palin says..."You Betcha"!

Understand what everyone is saying but you can lose your job not being PC. Just sayin....

And these days a clip of someone not being PC in a non work environment can end up on YouTube and an employer can fire them before they get to work.

Before long someone will file a lawsuit because some retired guy disrespected them. Just wait the way this is going....

Before long it won't matter because many of the retired guys are losing their pensions as companies declare bankruptcy to avoid honoring their pensions.
