nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing they do or say the surprises me. I remember a certain thread a while back was beyond reprehensible. With that group snickering and cheering it on.

Wrapping themselves in the flag of martyrdom is getting a bit old and worn, though. It seems as if some people go out of their way to find it offensive, when people are challenged on their offensive behavior. Because being called a creep is obviously worse than the sexual advances *some* grown men make on pre and young teens.

I especially love when they throw up their hands and can't figure out why women are not receptive and smile to the constant sexual innuendo, advances and groping about their bodies beginning at very young ages. An age where they, as boys were still playing with matchbox cars and JI Joes, just discovering girls are not icky, their female counterparts were learning how to fend off random guys putting hands down their pants. Learning *some* men were icky How is that for a contrast?
