      When cherry’s are red the ripe for plucking, when girls are 16…

      You get the rest.

      Jimmy Savile and Trump are cut from the same cloth. The fact other people were doing it too doesn’t make their behaviour less abhorrent, it just means that abhorrent behaviour was more common.

        I’m with you until this:

        The fact other people were doing it too doesn’t make their behaviour less abhorrent, it just means that abhorrent behaviour was more common.

        Did something I posted indicate I think otherwise or was this just an additional thought?

        For the record, I don’t care who the paedophile is, it’s disgusting and perverse regardless. I do question whether the behavior was more common or if it’s just gotten pushed further out of public view because of social norms changing.

      Think I heard that one too, but the other was more popular. Of course I heard fat mommy jokes and “You’re so stupid” jokes. Even the dumb blonde jokes. I mean in 90’s you didn’t have worry about getting canceled for your fuck up humor.

        We really didn’t. Though those expressions, while still wrong, come across a lot different from a 13 year old than they do from a 50 year old man. 🤮

          Yeah I remember sitting around with other 10-12 year olds as we told jokes we read in Playboy magazine. Same magazines we found either in the woods, or your step dads drawers. I only remember a couple of the jokes. But I know a couple of them looking back would only be funny to a 10 year old boy.

        Yeah this is the generation that brought us 4Chan and the Xbox gaming lobby.

        I God damn wish there had been consequences for the hate some of my bosses had flung around back then. Just like constantly putting down anyone deemed lesser.

        I always heard the reply, “a well used field grows no grass”. I don’t like to think about that though, it’s my friend’s dad who I heard it from most memorably.
