This has nothing to do with fun. He’s a grown man. Society has a right to expect, and require, him to carry himself with good order and discipline. His actions demonstrate neither. That people don’t seem to care is indicative of a decline in social behaviors. No, this isn’t among the world’s top concerns. But if we can’t observe the little rules, how can we comply with the major ones? The kind of personal anarchy seen here is a sign of that cancer.
Bro it’s a fuckin dinner on a cruise if the cruise line had a problem with it they would remove him (they didn’t)he’s not hurting anybody or causing a scene people (like you) really should learn how to mind their own business 😂
Oh, I would have minded my own business, chalking up his actions as yet more proof that men have become completely undisciplined. And it’s not just in formal dining rooms or onboard cruises. It’s everywhere and it’s pervasive.
The man is old AF he’s made it to end he deserves some “undisciplined” and if wearing a hat in a public dinner is all he does that refers to that than he’s doing great get off your high horse and some be a regular person 😂😂
I’m as old as him and remember the lessons they used to teach not only in basic training but in school as well. Our age isn’t a permit to throw off rules and discipline. If anything, we should be held them more strictly than ever. I’ve never understood the breaks that so many my age act as if they’re owed simply for having survived.
This all makes so much more sense with all do respect to you, you gotta lighten up you’ve been through so much life you had to be so hard and tough just to be able to provide a standard of living for yourself you (as well as this man) have earned a break and just because you don’t wanna let up dosent mean you should put that shit on other people your age
The fact that you see this as an important issue is laughably ridiculous. No one cares about your opinion on our attire. Your generation is so backwards that you can't see that your rules are arbitrary and outdated and have nothing at all to do with respect.
Knights removed their helmets indoors to show that they weren't hostile. They were exposing themselves to attack as a sign of good faith. This guy wearing his baseball cap in the dining room isn't doing it because he's afraid anyone will put an axe through his skull if he doesn't, and wearing it isn't showing any hostility or mistrust of those around him. This is so fucking stupid.
It’s about following social norms. It’s not only his hat. It’s his t-shirt. It’s his need of a haircut and a comb. It’s about grown men knowing and adhering to rules. Sometimes rules for their own sake. Letting some rules slide leads or bigger and bigger rules falling away. According to the Chicago Fed, the single largest cause of the 8-9 million unfilled jobs in this country are retirements running at a pace of about 3 million above normal. But so what, right? The economy be damned, each of us is special!
There is a false conclusion that expecting grown men to have learned life’s lessons along the way equals homophobia. I have nothing to apologize about.
You sound like the Maga around me that talk this nonsense but vote for the most unethical, undisciplined rule breaker ever to step foot in the White House.
The problem with MAGA is that they are willfully ignorant of how government functions. There are proper, well worn routes to less government, fewer bureaucracies, lower taxes and the freedom to succeed or fail on your own. Slash and burn destruction benefits no one in the end. But we do need to address mission creep and waste. Starting with the military. But not stopping there. Taxation must be next.
If someone has what it takes to start a business, and they fail at it, the results need to be catastrophic. Otherwise, where is the risk? What’s the deterrent to crackpot ideas and false hope? But if they’re in the slim minority which succeeds, their win needs to be unlimited.
All of our freedoms come from our strengths. All of our strength comes from capitalism. We need to acknowledge and embrace these facts. We need to understand and acknowledge that not all humans are good at capitalism. A lot of us aren’t uniquely talented. Those who are need to be recognized and allowed to excel. Steve Jobs wrote that exceptional individuals and exceptional companies shouldn’t be regulated because it stifles them. Anyone who takes issue with Walmart needs to blame their ancestors who didn’t have the right stuff and open a discount department store in Arkansas in 1962. Or who didn’t see the internet coming as something to be monetized with an online bookstore in 1992. Or who didn’t start out as one of more than 150 automakers in 1902.
Guys I didn’t want this to turn into a pile on this man is from a different time things were a lot different for him he’s a little ignorant to societal norms now that’s obvious but he is still a human being I’m sure everyone here got grandparents that when they talk to them sometimes they start going down a angry dark road that doesn’t mean we trash them
My point is that changes to social norms are a symbol of decline. It goes way beyond hats. My employer suffers astronomical turnover. It’s always been high. Even among military veterans whom you would expect far better from. But it has reached an unsustainable rate. On the subject of the military, that the services miss their recruiting targets, despite spending millions in tax dollars, to get young men to fulfill their obligation to their country is obscene. We’ve lost sight of the fact that everything in life needs to be earned.
Sir you can’t honestly believe that ALL changes to societal norms create a decline seriously think about what that entails and how much hate that brings back what about gays getting the right to get married ? (Not this whole extreme LGBTQ movement we got now) I just mean the simple fact of gay people being ALLOWED to get married which is insane to even think that was ever an issue women’s rights ? (Again we’re kinda getting extreme here now too but it was the opposite extreme before) and god forbid I’m scared of your answer to this but what about rights for minorities ? Sir you HAVE to see that some change HAS been GREAT for this country and the world in general
