Perhaps that would be true, even though I'm not the OP. Teenagers are still human beings. Even if they are easily duped by pop culture fame hags, that's no reason not to offer civility and kindness to them.

I'm not entirely sure who Taylor Swift is......

I'm fairly certain she's a singer, but I wouldn't bet more than a dollar on what kind of music she does.

oh wait I just remembered....speed metal! Swift! Speed! Get it********** Oh god I make me laugh

1.7 billion Youtube views says otherwise.

I'm just guessing here, but I think her net worth is somewhat higher than yours.

Massive popularity does not preclude the fact that anyone is also a fame hag. In fact it probably helps. :innocent:

Yeah, I'm hoping that it's not creepy that I know a couple of lyrics by a popular teen-something artist. :D

:lol:
The Sausage King of Chicago strikes again!

That alone is not creepy, but stopping in front of a bunch of kids waiting for a bus every day and trying to get them to sing along, like the OP, would definitely qualify.

I think you are NOT a creep, and I applaud you for your uncommon friendliness!

What's most sad is that this is what our society has come to.

Had this been posted in the 60's, it would have been a nice, polite thing to do. But because of the terrible things that have been happening involving kids in recent decades, we now get judged and have to re-think pretty much everything we do in public, especially when it involves children. What was a kind, friendly gesture in our parents' generation is now "creepy". Yeah, it's creepy - because we've had to tighten our definition of creepy.

We've morphed ourselves into a public oblivious to anyone else on the street, glued to smartphones, suspicious of everybody. You can't trust a stranger on the street, but you trust all your photos and personal data to Facebook. And the kids are the worst.

It's not that all this awful stuff suddenly started happening to kids...

Rather what changed is that "news" went from a half hour local + half hour national to a half dozen 24x7 "news" channels that all need to hype Hype HYPE HYPE LIE HYPE HYPE for attention to get ratings to get ad dollars to make fat coin on the "news".

Honestly if we just exterminated all 24x7 news channels and reduced all TV news coverage to half hour local + half hour national, and ok + a one hour news magazine on Sunday... a most of the panic and hysteria amongst the weak thinkers would be eliminated. Kids would be allowed to play outside again. Parents would be able to sleep at night again.

+1. It's a myth that there's a perv hanging out behind every tree waiting to snatch up unattended kids. Turns out that the vast majority of pedophilia cases are committed by family members or family friends, NOT complete strangers. But I had to grow up with all that "stranger danger" BS anyway.
