Is the world really this nuts??

Feminists at a meeting have urged the audience not to "clap" as it causes anxiety and instead to use "jazz" hands.  Whatever that is?

I just shake my head in disbelief.  How on earth did previous generations ever survive with "clapping".

I suffer from anxiety and hate crowds should it now be mandatory that there should not be gatherings of   more than 100 people to accommodate my anxiety...how ridiculous.  I wonder what next will be brought up.

Thank goodness I am on the way out....what a mamby pamby society.

I would never have felt clapping would cause anyone any anxiety Radish.

We can be a real "weird bunch"

I have never heard of anything like this in Australia.

Radish :)

Hard to type when doing Jazz hands :)

 

Gerry :)

What do you expect being in middle of nowhere with a bunch of kangas.

never heard of it either Gerry, looking forward to seeing the Mexican Wave though once Footie starts.

Abby  ROFL..I would feel quite ridiculous doing that....!!

My hands got sore in no time too :)

Maybe it is a very good hand exercise ???

Keeping the hands at face level and moving the fingers .... must practise ... you never know when one will need to do it LOL

Those yank shows with audience woot woot yells put me off. Then again they seem to cheer anything but the woot woot or whatever it is bugs me.

The more I hear and see of this world the more I agree that

YES IT IS NUTS

When I worked for Gloria Marshall, Gloria came out from America and each of us Managers and Councillors of her Salons, gave her one Long Stemmed Red Rose until she had a bunch, with us filing up to her in single file. :) and every now and again we had been primed with a signal, to jump up on our chairs (yes we actually did) and shouted out "We are Gloria Marshall Girls and here to help yay" and clapped loudly.

I have many funny stories about that time of my life lol.  

Phyl, sorry but that sounds like brain washing to me and making an idol out of some ordinary person that has a BIG ego, sounds sick to me, sorry

I bet in retrospect Phyl you wonder why you did it.  Sounds as thought she was on one big ego trip.

Reminded me of that woman who was on 60 mins a while back....a religous, conniving  nutter who was fleecing her flock of all their money.  She of course has fled the country and is living a life of luxury with her son in Vanuatu I think it was.  Million dollar estate, cars etc.

I never thought people could be so gullible (to believe all the rubbish sprouted by these con artists and to hand over all their assets etc)  but it is proven over and over again when one of these cults are exposed that there are people out there who are totally taken in and many of them are supposedly well educated.

Talk about mind control.

I enjoyed working at Gloria Marshalls because I knew regardless of the hype and money it cost people, I helped many get the life they wanted back.

Managers,including me were put up at lovely hotels in Melbourne with a dinner to match plus breakfast next morning, so it was quite the glamourous job and lets be honest I had three young girls to rear so I counted my blessings as I never had to do anything bad, other than maybe a little ridiculous at times lol but it was all worth it for me.

Geomac, I watched the first episode of 

the Odd Couple...lasted 3 mins or so...the canned laughter drove me nuts...off it went.

Radish

I saw a bit of it and thought it very stale. Agree with you about canned laughter when there is nothing funny.

I never watched it --saw the shorts and thought it looked stupid --like most of those American shows --they have a very childish sense of humour

I so agree. Canned laughter seems to be an American thing? Can't recall any other nationality doing that with their shows.

I agree that the world is going completely:
