Ok I already posted this on another thread, but I feel I need to make this kind of loud and clear here....
I'm going to just express this opinion because people don't get it....
I don't think it is good or right, but we live in a very direct culture.
This is one thing I find annoying about American culture actually, but that's part of it.
Now, people making calls to Ed's home is not good. I don't agree with it and it is wrong. I can't stand rude people.
However, if 10,000's of American people are calling, what are you suppose to expect? Everybody knows what Ed did was dishonest, it is obvious to almost anyone since he gives a bad explanation. It's like the guy who hangs out with the "bad group" and gets hurt. Was it wrong? Yes!! But you went with the bad group and guess what happened? Take some responsibility.
This guy is in a position where he is suppose to take responsibility. He's showing that he can't handle it too well. And he wants to cry about it and act like a victim, like he didn't have anything to do with this. That's rubbish.
I get tired of our culture being obsessed with being nice for the wrong reasons. This guy doesn't merit respect, he got Blow Back. Was it right for these people to do it? No, but that's how it works and he needs to buck up cowboy.
