(22,143 posts)Actually I can, we all have different experiences and mindsets.
I am concerned with the feelings of others but not so much that I won't do or say something that's funny or fun because one person out of a hundred might not agree. Why should the rest of us not get to enjoy something because one person can't deal? I'm not talking about abusing someone verbally or physically but perhaps a slightly off color joke or a harmless prank like the shoe thing.
We all come from different places. Where I come from, ripping each other and each other's mom in the worst of ways was a daily ritual. And there was a lot of physical horseplay and games where you were going to get hurt. If you were weak you got it worse but if it went too far I was the guy stopping it.
Maybe you come a different place where this sort of thing was not acceptable or normal and I can understand that. Or maybe it was and you hated it. But do know that I would be the guy defending you if I saw that you really didn't like what was happening.
I don't know how to describe it any better.
I always considered myself on the side of right.
