I would just like to get this off my chest.
During the public talk last sunday the speaker (Bro Holden M'Groin) said in public talk:
" if you ask any 16yr old girl what she wants out of life, she would probably say a home, a family etc etc" (because obviously this is still 1955).
Anyway that got my attention I thought " hmm....where is he going with this?".
Bro Holden M'Groin goes on
"let's say you meet the same girl at age 30 and by that time she has three kids to three different fathers is struggling to make ends meet and is depressed with a drug problem and you think to yourself what happened?. But the truth is bro's and sis's nobody intends to become a failure".
I thought " am I taking crazy pills, did I just hear correctly?"
I never did figure out what the point was. I switched off again.
What makes this incredibly insensitive gaff worse is there is a young woman about 30ish with her three kids to yes, three different Daddies sitting front row, centre probably wishing the floor would swallow her whole.
I doubt whether this guy knew that, but still why would you take the chance of offending someone, what with all the "blended families" there are these days. And what 16yr olds has he been talking to? The 16yr old Mrs Brady, Mrs Cleaver, Mrs flinstone, Julie frigging Andrews before she finds the Von trap family.
I gotta get outa this place, if it's the last thing I ever do.
