I am in total agreement with supporting our Olympians and our great country. I do, however, take issue with the wording used by Jimmy’s Famous Seafood and the apparent agreement in using such a derogatory term (“Kudos to Jimmy’s Famous Seafood for standing up for our country,” Feb. 25).
I am a 69-year-old female who was told by a younger male on Tuesday morning to “go f*** yourself” simply because I asked him to slow down on our neighborhood road. I was attempting to pick up our recycling cans that had blown into the roadway. The speed limit on our road is 30 mph, and he stopped his car to tell me that he was “going 36 mph.” I said the speed limit is 30 here, and he told me “f*** you” twice and then proceeded to tell me to “go f*** yourself” as he got back in his vehicle. I responded, “Have a nice day.”
I see now why he thought it was totally OK to tell that to an older woman trying to get cans out of the roadway. I cannot in good conscience believe this type of language is something to be approved of and hailed as a good idea. I hope that less divisiveness and more civility will eventually return to our great nation.
