They don't consider depreciation as being humor. If another person is the object of the joke, they will politely tell you that such is not acceptable. They are certainly less inhibited about sex than others. I found it quite refreshing, at 7-foot tall, to be in a country where that is quite normal. I was in a club, with three other men at least as tall as me, and we eventually got together. One fellow asked, "how tall are you?" I said 211. He laughed and said, you are not tall, I have a friend who is 215cm. And we all had a laugh... Link to comment

Popular Post tmtomh Posted March 5, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 5, 2018 I'm kind of in awe at how far off the rails this thread went, and especially the particular direction in which it careened of the tracks. @bigbob, for what it's worth I found your posts up until your airline story to be quite generous, civil, and reasonable. And even your airline story I found to be told in a civil and polite tone. However, I do find myself feeling quite similarly to @mansr. You can't really say how awesome it was to be able to sit next to a beautiful woman while she breastfed, and then in the next breath defend yourself against criticism by saying the woman was "modest" in how she breastfed. If you found her breastfeeding to be a beautiful, life-affirming moment and you were trying to tell us that you felt fortunate to be present for it, especially compared to being stuck next to a 7-foot guy, then I guess I could accept that. But to any rational reader, the clear message of your story was that you found the woman attractive, and in addition you enjoyed the extra bonus of her asking you if it was okay if she could expose her breast while seated right next to you. You were politely telling us that you got to see a hot woman's naked breast - and in that case you should not be surprised or get your back up when someone observes that it's kind of creepy to brag about that (however civil your tone when doing so) to 100s or 1000s of strangers here on the CA forums. kumakuma, wgscott and mansr 2 1 Link to comment

You and other have read far more into this than it deserved. The 'discussion' was about some poor joker who had paid $36 and was asked to move so that a "7-foot-tall" man could sit in the aisle, then 12 pages later, I mentioned a pleasant experience I had when an attractive Dutch woman sat beside of me. She had a small child, and yes in the course of an 8-hour flight, she asked if I minded her breastfeeding her baby. I didn't stare at her breast, I just said that sometimes you are lucky, in that regard. I guess I should have been an American Prude and told her to feed that child in a filthy restroom. I think some people haven't seen a woman's breast-- by choice. After a few weeks in Amsterdam, where women sunbath on city park benches, topless--one more breast was the last of my concerns. Not lucky to see a naked breast (which I thought I made clear that she was modest) I prefer a good conversation with a pretty woman-- I will not apologize for faring better than the guy who paid for an aisle seat but got moved anyway. If you think that was bragging-- you should let me tell you about Mistress Irene in the Red Lights... From that, this "Mansr" person--who has over 7,000 posts in 10 years-- folks that is two per day, -- said I was a pervert and a creep. Who needs some time away from CA? Now, let's just look at the 13 pages of this thread. Insults and name-calling. Except some whining bitch went and told the teacher. "Mean old BigBob thinks I am a queer..." What a punk thing to do. You are really a Pussy... The moderator lets this crap go on for several days-- but someone got his pink panties in a wad and went running to the moderator, who 13 pages into it said to 'get a grip.' That was the end, but No, everyone in the peanut gallery deserves to keep this STUPID thread going... Mansr hides behind a pseudonym, not even his name. I am Big Bob--that is my photo of me--My full name is Robert Padgett, I live in Charlotte NC, not my mother's basement or your closet. He has the nerve to ask me if I am a homophobe because I said he was a funny man-- in a queer kind of way. Queer doesn't always mean Homosexual, but sometimes it does, I don't care, as long as you don't molest children I am not afraid of homosexuals--by the way, that is what 'Homophobe' means--afraid of Homosexuals. Look it up on Wikipedia. What on God's Green Earth does any of this have to do with being a Computer Audiophile? It certainly degenerated to the lowest common denominator- but then the OP was set forth to incite this kind of discussion. You ask for it, you got it, Chris. You could have closed this thread down on Day One. I am 7-foot tall, and I guarantee that Mansr would have never said anything to MY FACE that he feels secure, hiding behind a fake name, to say on the Internet. Link to comment
