Okay - is it just me or have we REALLY become a nation of candy-asses? Good Lord....
Case in point on this rant is how so many folks I know are too scared to ever confront people on anything - even folks they claim to be friends with or even related to..
A few examples:
I have an in-law who always complains to me about his wife and his relationship to his dad yet he NEVER tells either one how he really feels... It's even more ironic that he touts his "conservative views" and can't stand libs for generally being weak, yet he's too weak to talk to his own relatives?
My friend since the 9th grade - who lives next door - well his wife will at times call and ask our opinion on things regarding "moral issues" (her wording) - after we give her the right advice, she goes and does her own thing anyway...
This morning she called to tell us they had acquired a cat trap and had successfully trapped the cat which had been coming into their yard digging things up and pooping in it...
Turns out it's their neighrbors' cat who also happens to be HIS boss @ work. Her delimmma was:
1. Does she lie to her neighbor about things
2. Her daughter found out they had trapped it and was worried she'd "spill the beans to their neighbor".
3. Does she just take the cat in the trap and go to him and tell him the truth
I told her she (they) need to take the cat to him, tell the truth and use this as an example to their daughter of doing the right thing and going to the source if you have an issue with someone...
About 30min after that call, her husband takes the cat trap out back and simply lets it go... l;kasfdjl;ksadfjl;skdafjsdal;kfjsdal;kjafl;ksdafjl sda;kfj
WHAT THE HELL PEOPLE??!?!?
Why are SO MANY (Good) PEOPLE SO SCARED TO CONFRONT PEOPLE?!??!?
Can someone please STOP THIS MADNESS and help me understand this?
