There is a certain orange-tinged candidate for POTUS who recently stated, "The problem is we don't hurt other people enough anymore", so--based on his august opinion--I guess that it is now okay to inflict whatever harm you may wish upon other people. If you are arrested for assaulting people, he claims that he will pay your legal fees.
I never heard of this custom of pinching someone not wearing green. If I got pinched (not a vicious painful pinch, but more of a friendly, teasing one) I wouldn't care. I'd want to know why they did it, and would probably laugh when they explained it.
My goodness.....we seem to be living in an age where people are perpetually offended over everything.
From reading this post American's have turned into crying, whimpy, p****y whipped little babies... Indeed what is this country becoming besides worse and worse every day.....
Apparantly you have not been *disciplined* by being pinched for hours for some imaginary infraction seen only by the violent, drunk, abusive biological donor of your childhood.
It has nothing to do with being a crying, whimpy, youshouldbeashamedtousethiswordinthisway, whipped little babies and has everything to do with being abuse........
Honestly, I'd never heard of this "tradition" of pinching in response to mot wearing green on St. Patrick's Day, until I moved south. Grew up in CT, it's a pretty big holiday up there (albeit a drinking "holiday"). We always wore green, but if for some reason we didn't, there were no physical repercussions.
CSD, I'm so sorry you had to go through that. Horrible.
Never heard of it either. Would you consider it rude if the person you pinched turned around and slugged you in the mouth?
