Is booing ever acceptable?

    If i'm paying 20 bucks for a professional sports event and some overpaid jerk decides not to play...i'm all for booing!
    Now the booing during my preaching, that's a different story. I keep asking my wife to stop...but she calls me a big baby.:laugh:

    Try this!

    I agree with The Scribe and bobbyd about not booing 'in church'.

    That would certainly be boorish behavior, even when something that has been said is totally indefensible - not to mention, booing certainly shows lack of 'class', IMO.

    A better suggestion would be to try this.

    Elevate your arms up into the air, and give an animated "two thumbs down" salute, instead. [​IMG] [​IMG]

    (For the best effect, one should be sitting fairly close to the front, and near the center, when making this gesture.)

    So I yell across the room to madre, "Hey, madre, come and read this post." She read it with no reaction.
    I says, "madre, it is either funny or offensive....."
    madre says, "It is neither. Stop being a baby."
    I says, "Don't it bother you?"
    madre says, "No, I was just wondering what blouse to wear when I do that [​IMG] two-thumbs-down [​IMG] thingy."
