It all starts at home, mostly, about how you were raised. Just my beliefs. But testosterone is prevalent during adolescence years, and then some. As is female harmonies. It’s ALL a control and moral issue.

You are right Paulette, But not always what is taught at home is  practiced outside the home.

I’m not condoning any of the actions brought up by Kate, I think all those actions are deplorable. I just think a lot of men need to look in the mirror, and maybe some lady’s

I encourage anyone who has ever been the target of my unwanted sexual attention to come forward.

I also encourage anyone who wants to be a target of my sexual attention to come forward.

Michael Markham, YOU & Arthur Trujillo were ALWAYS nice young men around me and the other girls. Maybe you were just afraid of my Momma, Mrs. B! No, seriously I’m glad we knew each other back then. Lots of fond memories from SLC. 

Paulette Butler (Lewis)

Jim Olson, it’s probably the Same “ B——“ that through me down the north steps inside the halls! My poor tailbone and puny body couldn’t defend her bullying in those hallways. Lol

Kate, you are tarring with a very broad brush.  To make the leap from inapropriate adolescent behavior (of which I am guilty)  to child abuse is too far of a leap. 

Michael. (Mike) Markham

I have to agree with Dan, The brush got way to broad

Ann E. Lee (Lee)

Bless you Kate:  I have to support you.  I have read these posts from our white, male, privileged classmates and they reek of the same attitudes that lead to condoning sexual harrassment and abuse.  Gentlemen, your misogny is so blatant.  Joking about melon grabbing is no different than bragging about "grabbing p*ssy."  It is not locker room banter or just kidding: it is pepetuating the objectification of humans including women, children or any other person you wish to feel power over.  May I please request you stop this discussion thread unless you take the time to look at yourselves from the view of others.

All I want for Christmas is a soapbox.

Dan Brown

I say we return the forum to innocuous platitudes. Maybe a little gentle mirth and harmless joshing, but no further. Perhaps we could have a rousing debate on the use of the Oxford comma.

Reed Madsen

DO NOT mix eggnog with 100 proof whiskey.

Michael. (Mike) Markham

On a lighter note,  How does everyone feel about the direction of our country, and all the people taking us there?

Holly Williams (Schelin)

I say, Happy Holidays and live and let live....yes there are serious things happening in the country and the world, but can’t we just have fun with each other and produce a good laugh?  Don’t take things so seriously people if they weren’t meant to be...this forum is not the place to vent your spleen...there are plenty of people in your lives who would be happy to debate you if you want a debate...I love to see that 50 years later Dan, Barry and others can still mKe me laugh!!!😜

THANK YOU REED!  After starting to read these lastest posts, which started me down my adolescent memory lane to review all my, with the forums help and education,  totally inappropriate behaviors, out came the eggnog and 100 proff Whisky!  Thankfully came your post and I put the eggnog right back in the fridge!  After the thrid Whiskey got busy on Dan's Oxford comma project.

Now headed out the door for the airport bound for a cruise out of Rome for my beautiful wife of 30 years 58th birthday on December 24.

To be older and wise, one had to be at a certain stage in their life, young and foolish. I am not sure it is either a good idea or fair to oneself to judge what you may have done or thought 50 years ago, with what you are or aspire to be today.

Dan Beck

I believe you are correct Crit.  No matter who you are or what you may become you are a process of change.  I may be embarrassed by some things I have done, I don't run away from that embarassment, but I really don't believe those actions define me or who I am today.  Hopefully that makes sense

Craig Dent

Ron,

I have latent carpentry skills, I can build and send you a Soapbox!

The 60's were crazy times, and wouldnt have missed them for the world ! 

Hopefully we have all changed and grown over the years. 

That being said, lets get back to whiskey !  Gotta say my very favorite is "High West Double Rye"  It  is over the top delicious ! 

Happy Holidays from sunny Arizona

There are few things I regret, but the one thing I most regret  are bell bottoms.

Holly Williams (Schelin)

As well you should Dan!!😜
