Kidding of course.

I don't understand why people run around hugging on strangers anyway. If you are at work, don't do it. There's no reason to touch other people. Do you job, then punch out on the time clock. Do whatever you want on your free time.

You shouldn't be hugging on people whom you don't trust to feel you up either.

Seems like a lot of stern advice is being provided lately as though everyone needs it. nt Dreamer Tatum Jul 2014 #38

If you think this is stern advice, then it was written for you. Gravitycollapse Jul 2014 #41

Oops, I meant self-justifying stern advice. Dreamer Tatum Jul 2014 #44

This is sort of a litmus test. Gravitycollapse Jul 2014 #72

Then I'm reminding you not to rape anyone. Dreamer Tatum Jul 2014 #75

Absolutely, rape is a horrific wrong. Gravitycollapse Jul 2014 #77

Then don't do it, OK? nt Dreamer Tatum Jul 2014 #79

I absolutely agree. I would never rape someone. It is a terrible thing to do. Gravitycollapse Jul 2014 #90

OK--then could you explain it to me? nt tblue37 Jul 2014 #84

No, exposing the point would just provoke more re-education. nt Dreamer Tatum Jul 2014 #85
