Butt in or back off? Why is society so clueless sometimes?
Posted by michellemoquin on June 6th, 2008
Two girls are giving each other love pecks at a baseball game. The usher comes over to inform them that a family had complained about the kissing, and was asking them to stop. The family said that ‘they didn’t feel it was up to them to explain to their young daughters why two girls were kissing.’ Can you believe that?
In Connecticut a 78 year old man is crossing the street and gets hit by a car, and gets tossed through the air like a doll. He ends up completely paralyzed from the waist down. Not one person stopped their car; plenty rubber-necked the scene, AND…not one person walking the street went over to help? Can you believe this?
Why is it that in the first situation one may want to say, ‘It’s none of your business! And, ‘It is your responsibility as a parent to explain things in and about life to your children.’
And in the second situation one may want to say, ‘What is wrong with people these days, etc., etc.?!’
When I hear things like this I am so blown away by the action, or lack of, by people.
There you are going about, doing your own thing, enjoying yourself, when someone has to stick their noses where they don’t belong ’cause someone feels uncomfortable. WahWah! How difficult would it be to explain a simple kiss without getting into the dreaded conversation at a baseball game? Come on people, think! Don’t ask the world to handle YOUR responsibilities.
And worst off…When you expect someone to run to the scene to help out, everyone is turning a blind eye not wanting to ‘get involved’. When the humane thing to do is to help a fellow human. Are we too busy in our own lives to give a shit anymore?
Comments?
ZL: You know you can talk as much as you want on my blog!
Howie: What is your beef with the beef? Did I mention that I was storing the beef in an ‘extra’ freezer? Ah..no. I am using the good ‘ol freezer in the frige. So I want to pay a great price for my beef and do something better for the environment and the cow - you have a problem with that? I see this as a good thing. Why are you being so judgmental? Really, I’d appreciate you answering me. So you don’t have an interest in the beef - I have no problem with that; to each his own. I wanted to get the word our for those that do.
Oh..and by the way…have I ever asked you this before? You have done this a few times…Why are you posting almost the exact same comments as you did yesterday? This confuses me and I wonder why you are doing this? Can you explain? More than anything I am just curious.
Lastly Howie, I’d appreciate it if you would lay off the ‘Saint Madaline’ title -She is far from a saint. This is in no way me trying to stick up for Madaline - she can handle her own. I am just tired of you putting these words into my mouth. Can you stop now? I am with ZL, I can’t stand this male/female power shit. As you stated you have every right to your opinion and posting them on this blog. I agree with you. I am not trying to stop you from saying what you want to say, however as I stated above, I don’t like words or ideas being put into my mouth. Yeah…you are stirring up the waters all right….so far it’s you and Madaline in the lead.
Sometimes I feel like this is our own series of ‘Brothers and Sisters’ ‘cept where’s the love?
‘Smack!’ (That wasn’t a slap, it was a kiss:)
Gratefully your blog host,
michelle ?

Michelle: Looks like I decicded to observe at the right time. I am happy to not be in the middle of all this banter. I have no idea what is going on, on this blog. But I am sure I would be right in the middle of all the shit slinging, had I been present.
And why is Madeleine the “horrid” trouble maker, suddenly have such a great political FIX All answer, after all her bullshit. 0ne letter and she is our new political guru. I liked the surgical removeal idea better. This one will never work.

hahaha…oh man, I’ll repeat myself and then I have to go make a call, to a woman, about a job : )
Al & Howie, lighten up, man! I only said Madaline’s VOTING TALKING POINTS held merit, if you don’t agree then don’t it doesn’t make her wrong or me wrong for seeing some merit and some merit means ’some merit’ it does not mean she’s my spokesperson nor is she in any way a GURU for me. I only held out hope for her redemption re: political aspirations i.e. if she’s so knowledgeable and intelligent now, why not put it all to good use here on earth.
Wow, you dudes…are you trying to mangle my words? Or are we are having a ‘Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus’ moment? And I’m not being sarcastic, just curious.
Back later, trying to sort out a new dealio to make dinero.
Sent with love and peace, Zen Lill

Michelle, I didn’t mean to upset you in any way. I wanted to get the point across that there are many whitebread Mem who can not afford a spare freezer or a side of beef. I wish I could. I am sure you remember that I live on practically nothing and can not afforf the luxury of a half Cow and freezer. I am poor.
I can’t hop on a flight and travel anywhere because I can’t afford it. I don’t even have a car. I live in Miami where one must sit outside in the burning Sun waiting an hour for a bus and arrive at one’s destination dripping wet with perspiration.
I have been arguing with Madeline because I am angry about a person denying they are Human after a ride in a ship. The history of Birth, growing up, friends and Family are here in your past. You can not decide to remake yourself as an Alien and deny being Humna - check your DNA - it is Human.
I will not use the saint word any more, It has been overused.
Perhaps I am on a blog which has a minimum yearly income requuirement and I just don’t fit in with Yuppies. Life has brought me to poverty’s door and my health will not allow much change. I can not make it to the corner store without nearly having a heart attack. My life is so very complicated and either I will die soon or I will be cured with Alien technology. I do not know which will come first.
I will not upset the flow of this blog anymore. I am sorry for causing problems.

Hi Michelle,
Forgot to address you and your blog entry today. Sorry. If that lip lock took place in CT then I can imagine the uproar, hahaha, I’m a Nutmegger myself and them damn Yankees are a bit uptight if I do say so myself, this my move to the left coast : ) I would just give an age appropriate explanation. Lily asked me what a lesbian was, I told her the two sentence explanation and she shrugged and said oh, hmmm, I told her I’d get back to her with more info when she needs it, end of story.
I just can’t believe the story of the old man, how scary is that? I can’t even imagine just doing a drive by…
Whenever I do come up will you make me a special yuppie burger? Or steak? Or do I have to present my last two years tax returns?! hahaha….
Howie, before you get upset, I am just goofin’ around!

Zen Lill,
In order for us to serve you up a “Yuppie” burger, from our only refrigerator freezer you will need last years tax return with a small cash deposit. Upon completion of the amazing beef we would follow this up with Lambrusco and laughter.
This blog and today’s entry exemplifies that there is definitely people out there that certainly are pieces of work…
Welcome back Al. I think you know exactly what is going on on this blog…same song with a different verse and Michelle is standing choir director. Don’t be late for scales and practice or there may be some ’splainin to do…

Doug, I’m not organized enough to know where 6 yrs worth ior taxes even are…in a box somewhere, can you cut me some slack I’ve been reading your blog but your comment thingie has cut me off twice : (
http://edgy1.wordpress.com/ ‘Gender Wars: who rates?’ I have a very funny commenter ED in case your in need of a laugh, he does make some good pints though I must admit.
Ciao, it’s Friday, time for a cocktail for this woman! - ZL
