When I want analysis, I'll ask Goofus.







I suppose I am, like everybody else in the world, from a generation, (thats every single generation) that is educated to respect women, parents and old people. I would add that respecting all groups of people, including gay people, people who don't follow the religion of the detractors, people whose colour alone makes a pub go quiet around here when they walk in....

You know Backwoodsman, every generation is the same, acts the same and has the same issues. If anything, media bitchiness is less now than 30 years ago. Comedy is less based on stereotyping and victimising whole groups of society. The Brand / Ross one off, bad as it was for one innocent old man, was the least of media problems that week. Press, police and politicians were, and still may be, using it to slur each other. The Daily M*il was and still is causing schisms in society in order for their tax free owner to line his pockets.

Get a sense of proportion. The innocent young grandchild you are referring to makes a living out of inviting photographers to parties where she drops her knickers or gets stoned in order to get into the papers. She used him as much as he used her. Awful for any Grandparent, sure, but not worthy of chivalry. I believe the term is "bit of a slapper."
