Reply #17: in 1986 [View All]

[pitohui]

i can't believe this is still being discussed, oprah is about to retire after 25 years of problems being issues

it probably really started in the 1970s with betty ford, it used to be you had a drinking problem and you hid it, or you had breast cancer and you hid it, so i guess it's something else we can blame on the republicans, because they made whining legitimate altho as republicans go betty ford was actually pretty decent

i don't agree w. problems being issues and whining being legitimate, i believe in denial and a stiff upper lip, but be that as it may...it's been 1976 or 1986 for a few decades now so i'm puzzled that this would surprise anyone who hasn't been in a coma for a few centuries
