[QUOTE="Croak, post: 382527, member: 2367"] The Priest thing wasn't just accepted. I call baloney on that one. No molestation was just accepted. If there was domestic violence on the block, everyone (but the perpetrator) frowned on it and sometimes took action. My Father told us if we ever raised our hand to a woman he would come after us and we'd have to answer for it. In fact if there was a divorce on the block, it was spoken of with whispers. There was a higher ethical code in those days. I don't know where you got the information that certain things were acceptable. (Probably revisionist "social studies" books which may over exaggerate some things for a modern agenda.) Even the racism which you site was frowned upon by many folks. Were there racists? Certainly. Was everyone a racist? Certainly not. We had friends come to our house who were ethnically diverse and there was no problem with us or the neighborhood. There's a reason why people make fun of "Leave it to Beaver" or "Ozzie and Harriet" today. Yet what was portrayed at it's core was basically life for many of us. The silliness and the predicaments were a little outrageous. But yes, Mom was in a dress and ironing clothes, cooking dinner and making a home. A man's hat was removed instantly when he entered a house, etc. The man was the "head of the family" and governed it well. Yes, I know things have changed. But I don't have to like it. BTW - it was only 5 miles uphill in a blizzard both ways...boy you revisionists... [/QUOTE]
