10/08/2007: Some Comments Should Stay Private

My husband and I went to the Roseville High School homecoming football game to hear our daughter sing the national anthem. There was a young lady and her friend sitting in front of us having a lucid conversation about some of her activities that made my husband turn three shades of green. My husband and I did not need to hear this conversation. It was the type of conversation that would have made any father react the way my husband did. Do you feel there is a time and place for some discussions? Explain your point of view.

I do agree that some comments and or conversations should be kept either to themselves or to a very hush mode to the point where no one else can hear your discussion other that yourself and the person who you are talking to. The whole person of a conversation is to only talk the person next to you or whop you are referring to, not for everyone else to hear your conversation as well. Some people also have a problem with the way they talk to each other, farwise as their use of language. I feel that the only person that should be able to hear your conversation is you and the person you are talking to. I feel that the conversation those students chose to talk about was inappropriate and they could have waited until after the game or over the phone to address the converation at hand.

I think that children should have enough respect to keep inappropiate comments to themselves. When your at a place where there are a bunch of people around you shouldn't speak of non appropiate things. No one wants to here that stuff. It is mainly a matter of respect and curdisy for those around you.

my opinion on the situation at hand is that there isin fact a time and place for things to be said so yes i agree with your point of view, but as a young adult myself i also feel that if there are adults in the presence and there are lucid words being exchanged in a quiet manner and the adult starts ear hustling then they deserved to hear what ever they heard because they were so nosy!

I do agree that some conversations should be kept to yourself or atleast where others cant hear you. In my opinion i think that you can tell many things about a persons home training by their actions. If the young girl was me, just from being raised from a solid foundation, I would've atleast waited until their wasnt any adults around to talk about my personal business. If a person has respect for themselves they would be careful about what they say around others.

I agree with that i think that there is a right time and place for everything. And certain conversations are best left alone or best said in private with a close friend that you trust with your personal business.

There is a time and a place for certain conversations. Some stuff should not be said aloud in public. There is a public conversation and a private one. You should always watch what you all the time no matter who is around. Some one can over here something and miss understand you. Think before you speak, theres no way your husband should have heard her if she was not talking about stuff like that. Tha was suppose to be private conversation.

I feel that it is a right time and place to say certain things. but I also feel that everyone has freedom of speech so maybe people shouldnt listen in sometimes if they dont want to hear the conversations.

I do believe that there is a time and a place for everything and certain things should be left unheard. Certain conversations about certain issues should either be left alone or either not spoken about in public. That is normally how things get started.

I do agree that there is a time to have a inaproppriate conversation and there is a wrong time. They could've waited until they have got home or in the car.

Yes I feel that you shouldn't be rude and ruin the experience for others by talking during a certain point of time. If I were to go out to see my favorite artist for the first time I don't want others to talk and distract me, cause I paid to hear the artist not them.

My opinion on the topic is that there are always appropriate times, and places for different situations, and conversations. As I was reading through other people responses, some said that people shouldn’t listen to others conversations. Which is defiantly true. But as young adults we should all know that conversations like that shouldn't be spoken in a exposed environment. Then again I also agree with the others that maybe you shouldn’t listen to other conversations. But if that other person is talking at a volume, and being flat out rude, and disrespectful, that you cant help but hear what is going on in the conversation, that person is defiantly in the wrong.

Yes, in some cases I do believe that some comments that are made need to stay private. Naturally, depending on what is being said, whether it's appropriate enough for someone to say something is the first thought that should come to mind. The content of what's being conversed about or what's being said is what needs to be watched. That person who has made a comment needs to take into consideration that they aren't the only one's listening to what is beging said, others can hear them too.
