Quote:I found it distasteful and appalling in a place that is at the very core of my being. I knew that to give in to such thoughts, much less the actual act, was not just weak, but abhorrent to my very soul. Call it dignity, honor, personal self-worth, or even the "Code of the West"
Doesn't this sound like something you might read in one of those "cowboy" themed Harlequin romance novels many of us read as teenagers? Even as a kid, those things made me sick... I mean, no one talks like that, it's all just flowery rhetoric to puff up his narcissistic personality even more than it already is.
