...sexist comments to the women. It made them feel uncomfortable and afterall, Big Brother is a workplace and the HouseGuests are essentially employees of the production team.

Ken is a moron. Every day we all think things but don't say tham out loud as we know things could be taken the wrong way or it would offend people. We edit ourselves out of respect for others.

Example: We may think the new guy in the office has a nice body. We think it, but don't say it because that could be considered rude, offensive and inappropriate in the environment. This isn't being PC or anything of the sort. It is being respectful of other human beings, just like you may think something about your husband in an argument but you would never say what you are thinking out loud because of the hurt those fleeting, anger-fueled thoughts or words would cause.

This has nothing to do with age. It is not a defense. That is like saying..."Well, in my day it was acceptable to beat your wife and children with a baseball bat."

Some behavior and words should have NEVER have been okay at any time, EVER. Why they were, is beyond my understanding. There is no time frame when it comes to common sense and respect for others. Simple as that.

xx * Yes he did. 30 yrs ago, I used to buy candies called n***** babies. I'd never say that word today, besides to refer to a memory of those candies. NT

xx * omg- we had tar baby candies. I think everyone growing up in the 70s remember Tar Babies. They were taken off the shelves in the early 80s NT

xx * Actually, I'd still never say the word. I call them N babies. I don't even know what they're called today, or if they even exist...? NT

xx * If they are the same as "tar babies" they do not exist anymore. They were lil soft black candies in the shape of babies. NT

xx * Black licorice babies, yes! Probably better off that they don't exist in this day and age, lol. How'd we ever survive? NT
