Every step forward takes turns that make SOME people uncomfortable. How do you
think people in the front of the bus felt when Rosa Parks refused to move??? Or

I am fully aware that you feel uncomfortable with this sort of fashion, but to
make a jump to say it’s a decline in culture, when you have no idea what the
future holds is a bit presumptuous wouldn’t you say???
