It takes no courage to lose your temper, tell someone to f*ck off and let your ego and testoterone play too much of a role in your behavior and choices (NOT saying that describes past Bobby, just younger men in general). BH is speaking with diplomacy. He's wise and mature enough to address concerns of his detractors and start on the right foot. Knowing when to keep your mouth shut, being able to forgive past grudges and having the maturity to act deliberately rather than reacting emotionally is the antithesis of pussification; it's manly as f*uck.
I agree with your sentiments about BH, but would appreciate it if you could refrain from generalizing young men as people who lose tempers, tell people to f*** off, and let ego and testosterone play too large a role in their behavior and choices. It would be equally unfair to generalize young women using other very common adjectives and descriptions, and I don't subscribe to such generalizations.
I do apologize, CDA. No offense intended. I didn't even mean it as a negative quality in younger guys. I forget that we don't know each other well on here, so I need to be careful not to generalize. If you knew me, you'd understand that I'm quick with self-deprecating humor. I look at myself 8 years ago...and I was much like how I describe those younger men, minus the testosterone. We ALL learn to act more deliberately with maturity.
:lol: I'm totally f***[*] with you. It was a great post.
Omg... :lol:
But, wasn't my response mature and wise? Give me credit for that and save it....I'll need it next time I'm an asshole.
