[QUOTE="Sgt Dog, post: 4007603, member: 15840"] This thread is downright peculiar. One member observes (and I can agree): “I really find it disheartening that our culture, in general, has so much inhibition against interacting with strangers. Sometimes I see it like the OP (someone gets annoyed at a stranger), but more often I see it as people being intimidated to interact, due to fear of rejection”. While I’m reading I’m thinking “no kidding. Look what a few indignant did to the OP”. Geeze!! But I did enjoy the deeper reflections on youth, our culture, what people need and how we could be better. The attacks not so much. I’m 69. But I’m around kids on soccer fields, in wrestling rooms, cross-country, track and gymnastics. And in church. 7 grandkids will do that. I was a numb-nuts once myself and might have thrown up more than a high-five. Glad I had adults adjusting my behavior. Also glad some adults gave me the benifit and reeled me in some while overlooking my immaturity. Mostly in reading this though I’m glad I’ve aged to a point where I understand two things can be true at once and understand the perspective of grumpy old guys as well as some exuberant youth. I still don’t get grown men on forums who feel the need to come out swinging on a benign post. Sort of glad I don’t too. [/QUOTE]
