I hope the moderators will allow this post to remain here on the Dis cruise boards. It probably belongs on the debate board, but I don't know most of the posters there and would value far more any and all responses given here. Thank you.
DS10 and I took the Long Island Railroad into Manhattan the other evening to see a play. On the return trip (around 11pm), two 25ish+ "gentlemen" were sitting near us. They were boisterous and crude. After listening to too many 4-letter words for nearly 10-minutes, I called over to them, "Hey, guys. Watch your language." They grumbled, but shut up when I told them my 10-year-old son was a passenger in the train car. By the way, there were many other individuals and couples around who had been giving them dirty looks, but said absolutely nothing when I confronted them. Anyway.
Interestingly enough, one of the "gentlemen" said to me, "Youse gotta remember, dis (no relation) iz PUBLIC transportation." Do you guys think "public" = the lowest common denominator? I never thought so but then again maybe I'm wrong...
