So Johnny, if I was sensitive , I might ask 'what color was the woman that yelled 'fu** you' to the old man and what difference does the skin color of the postal clerk make? If I was a sensitive white neckbeard in Portland, I might then burn your car to demonstrate against your micro-agressions and white privilege. If I was old (I am) I might say 'what difference does it make how old the guy is; indifference to others is wrong regardless of age, color, sex whatever. If I was a cop I might ticket the old lawyer and when he pulls a knife to protest, shoot his ass. And if I was the old lawyer and lived, I might sue the police department, demand they be de-funded, and then sue the Post office for millions for good measure. Yes, all this sensitivity is really helpful.

Hey Reveal, hope you get an old brown doctor who studied in India at the emergency room to fix those broken bones.
Make sure to wear a mask.

You can only control yourself and your environment. In this current situation globally, everyone is more tense, getting less sleep and experiencing more stress. In my opinion the best thing to do when confronted, no matter who is wrong or bullying, jut walk away if possible. If you can't walk away then deescalate the situation quickly, apologise or whatever just get out of the hostility however possible. We are in strange times and people before Covid where on a hair trigger just looking for a good scrap about any topic or cause, and things as we have all seen things can get out of hand quickly.
No current political view is worth dying for, the corruption behind the scenes is what really matters, and that same corruption is what is draining the resources from the average people and has for decades. The stock market is so obviously rigged by going up during the worst global economic crisis in modern history that all rules are out the window, don't count on anything being normal during this winter.

Wait a minute, why start there ?? Little late to be pointing fingers.
When I was a kid, we looked up to baseball, football, olympic athletes. They were on cereal boxes and played big role models for us. We even wanted to be..... just like them. But, come along to around the 80's and having an argument with an ump was normal, but when the players started spitting on the umps, throwing sh!t at them and players just started being complete jerks, that put a halt to those role models. They're nothing but a buncha immature overpaid d!cks. Respect. Not for them. The whole feeling of the world has changed. The norm has become the abnorm and the abnorm has become the norm. Total stupidity, but when you allow people to peacefully protest by burning down businesses, bust thousands upon thousands of windows, ruin automobile lots and just plain kill innocent people..... then you need to know, there's something wrong. Not one person you don't like calling someone a name. Name calling is just that. Name calling. No one gets hurt from that..... and if your feelings are hurt, too frickin' bad.... it's only words. Not baseball bats, rocks of molotov cocktails.
I noticed an increase of outspoken mostly angry people over the years. I haven't seen Social Dilemma but I do believe that since people have become more out spoken on social media they now feel more comfortable of pushing their opinions out loud in public. Too many people are now "either you think like me or you're dead to me" because these days its so easy to cut people out of your life and find like minded friends.

This is all learned behavior. Respect for others isn't something that people value anymore and it didn't start with the current generation either. Respect today means you have to listen to me because I am right and deserve more than the next guy.

What did the girl behind the counter being black add to this story exactly?

I used "black" because I don't know how to spell "African American". And, if you have ever been schooled by a black girl you would understand the significances of her talking to the old guy without the mask.

Let me get this straight. If someone here..... or anywhere says something like....... black girl, there's something wrong with that ?? Is that now a racial slur ?? I can't say I was eating black licorice or had my bike painted black ?? Certain adjectives are no longer available for normal use ?? I mean, gay has been taken away. Birds used to tweet, I eat catfish, but now its an evil person. What has this computer world done to us ?? It's made us into a bunch of ninnies. Just look around. Nothing but a buncha cyber monkeys asking dumb sign questions. What would they all have ebbn doing 30 years ago ?? I'm not advocating doing everything by hand or whatever, just without this contraption, most people here, wouldn't be here...... at all. We've lost who we are and what we are.
Listen, you can hear Robert right now putting together another thread....... is that some part of sewing ??

What did I say that was rude exactly?
Relax - I was trying to lighten the mood. The US stereotype of Canadians is they are polite to a fault. So criticism from seems out of character and seeing more of that from up north.
