I'm a man, but I can change, if I have to.I guess. 
Interesting comment. I can understand why you think it's disgusting, as that is just your personal opinion, and I can't and won't try to change it. It's yours, your choice, yada yada yada. What I don't get is how you say it's wrong. That sounds more like your trying to impose an ethical standard on others, and, well, I don't like that. Hey, it's probably just a slip of the tongue, (or fingers in this case), but forcing people to change for a personal reason almost never ends well. I'm sure you didn't mean to, but...

A couple of my friends just had a rather difficult conversation on the fact that it's easier to let things slide, than to do something about something (parenting issue). So I'm getting a little proactive about right and wrong, and helping people become better/polite. It may sound hypocritical of me to first say that you shouldn't tell people things are right or wrong, and then I go about doing the same thing to you, but I hope there is a difference. I'm trying to warn you about infringing on other peoples choices.

It's a hard thing to do. Who do you thing is more allowed to do something? The person who's sensibilities are offended by the existence of something existing, or the person who got offended by the first person protesting what the second does. In this case, you don't need to look at what offends you, so I think that you are wrong to say it's wrong. But in our case, who is wrong here? Am I wrong to tell you that you are wrong? Or am I right to say that you have made a mistake, and that it's not a good mistake to make?

Honestly? I don't know. But this summer is self-improvement summer for me, so when I tell myself I'm going to do something, I'm going to do it.
