Yeeeeeeeeeah, I'm with Linda on this one. I guess I'm a touch old-fashioned, too. My father probably would have had a coronary immediately followed by defenestration of the lad.

My sister was old fashioned too, like a Pit Bull Terrier so there was plenty of fights and a broken window or two. She's a librarian now.

My Mrs told her it was okay but no thought of tellin me... This is the 80s afterall.......... My mum wouldnt let me have girls back to our place when I was younger, in fact the only time she let any girl saty over was with a girl I was going out with for 3 years, her reasoning was "well they must have shagged by now", or at least that is why I thought she let her stay.

I remember that passage from college...around the time, the Romans also had this saying: "Sunt pueri pueri, pueri puerilia tractant (Children are children, and children will do childish things)." Those Romans had a way with words.

Those Romans had a way with words. Theres some stuff from Aristotle where he moans about the "youth of today" and that was written in 989 BC, I guess weve all been scared by young people, its a sign were all getting old and fuddy duddy.

Which I always found funny, considering Aristotle was taught by Plato, who was taught by Socrates, who was accused of corrupting the youth. Ancient Greeks and Romans were great with kids...LOL!

Have you ever read a book called "propaganda, how we were easily led", it talks about the stuff we are talking about now, basically these attiudes have persisted for hundreds of years.
