And if we lived in a sane world, this woman would have been told by the Human Resources department to man up and handle it herself.

What\u2019s wrong with that? What\u2019s wrong with letting an old man feel a little virile and desired? Why would a young and beautiful woman not understand the power she has to put a smile on an old man\u2019s face by putting up with a few harmless comments?<\/p>\n<p>My wife worked at a nursing home for almost 20 years. All the time, she had to deal with old guys at the end of their lives who were desperate not to feel like they were at the end of their lives. But my wife is decent and generous and empathetic and strong and can handle herself.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m sorry \u2014 and again, I\u2019m assuming that what TMZ reported is accurate and nothing more happened \u2014 decent people do not destroy 84-year-olds over some flirting\u2026 Decent people show a little humanity, a little tolerance, and a little charity.<\/p>\n<p>There might be more to this story, but if not, shame on everyone involved, all of them, especially Netflix.<\/p>\n<p>*joke<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Follow John Nolte on Twitter <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NolteNC\"><strong><em>@NolteNC<\/em><\/strong><\/a><strong>. <em>Follow his Facebook Page <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/JohnNolteNC\/?skip_nax_wizard=true\"><strong><em>here<\/em><\/strong><\/a><strong><em>.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Netflix fired 84-year-old Frank Langella over a minor sexual harassment complaint.
