    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        You could look at this as wokeness run amok or as basic politeness. Even in 1985 would Alex be embarrassed after giving a clue to a contestant that basically said ‘the opposite sex doesn’t find you attractive’ when he/she is on national television and all his/her friends and family are watching? I think he would.

        Would he apologize? I’m sure he would he was a classy guy.

        The whole reason we call them illegal aliens is because they’re subject to our laws.

          Probably.

          But, is there anyone of her age who doesn't know the rhyme, "Men don't make passes...?"

          It's not about the opposite sex being unattractive, it's about a silly rhyme.

          The blame-shaming is amazing.

            The story wasn't preachy though. The "victim" seemed to take it in good spirit, and the perpetrators were just a little appropriately embarrassed.

            Education is extremely important.
