Actors change their voices all the time. They have to. It drives me crazy when horrible-sounding politicians get on the air and screech. Easy to lower the voice - but you must listen to how you sound and how people respond to your voice. I’ve seen gay male actors butch up their voices when it was either a matter of getting the job or not getting a job.
Hillary: take a voice lesson.
Already, my son is in a position to do hiring and firing and has managed teams of people. He applies a keen eye when interviewing and is unafraid to reject someone for poor communication skills.
He's only 23. But...an Eagle Scout. So, he has the tools.
I want a real man, minus the bad language, and over imbibing. Found one, and I treat him like a king and he treats me like a queen. Course our generation was taught to respect Women, and to be REAL MEN!
Most young men and women, defined loosely for the purposes of this discussion, use vulgarity-laden speech to make themselves sound important or powerful while eschewing those of us who utilize words such as 'eschew' or 'banality.' It's similar to what Robin Williams said in Dead Poet's Society:
“So avoid using the word ‘very’ because it’s lazy. A man is not very tired, he is exhausted. Don’t use very sad, use morose. Language was invented for one reason, boys - to woo women - and, in that endeavor, laziness will not do. It also won’t do in your essays.”
Spot on.
Yeah. That’s what the Jesuits said to the pope and its what got them away from the church in 1963
You are in good company with people who, like a mob, won’t consider won’t think about it.
Fifty three million people this country has killed ten times more than the genocide the Germans perpetrated
I just don’t find it fitting of a Peter sellers comedy
But hey that’s just me

There's the problem. Right there. Guy needs to turn in his 'man' card. It's not about 'concussions' (that's easily handled, a mouth gard will fix most of them), it's about control and an utter lack of self-confidence.
I'm glad I married a woman confident enough to let the kids and I do pretty much what we've a mind to, and ALSO confident to yank the reins when they need to be yanked... ("NO, you're not practicing parachuting off the roof!!!").
This is exactly right. I have noticed this trend.
The corresponding trend in the female world is the DOWNTURN at the end of each sentence with a slight vibration of the vocal chords known as “Vocal Fry”. This is especially evident in female pop vocal music and was very prominent in Brittney Spears’ singing.
I am a vocal teacher, and I work very hard to get young vocalists to STOP doing this. It is age-inappropriate, damaging to the voice, and just plain ugly. But they ALL want to do it.
Just look at television. The sitcoms, the reality shows. Listen to how the men talk. All the little verbal affectations, the sarcastic tinges, the babbling-on, and whatnot. They all sound like FAGS.
You virtually have to turn on an old, vintage tv-series just to hear that sturdy, no-nonsense masculine speech style and comportment nowadays.
Do you or most people have any awareness that birth control pills of any kind are a class I carcinogen? The same level as cigarettes.
It’s a matter of record from FDA regs
That, after decades of infiltrating the water system with this stuff eliminating our choice to ingest it, that the EPA really does prevent its seeping into the water system? That there are receptacles in hospitals for pharmaceuticals
They don’t tell you any of this
Do you know that the majority of birth control pills act as morning after abortion chemicals, by chemically altering the environment flushing the newly formed baby out?
People say so what when they realize it. Do you think that level of dignity afforded to the aborted, and the mother, is harmful to motherhood, the family?
Masculinity and fatherhood are very denigrated by this. Never mind the chemicals
Bookmarked.
Please read up on “Critical Thinking”, it may not be what it sounds like. Please remember, in all things liberal, a thing is the opposite of its name, like the “Affordable Care Act”.
What you are hearing from youth is exactly the product of critical thinking. It is actually a mental straight jacket that prevents original thought. The fundamental premise is that we are all a bunch of racists and bigots, and the only way to combat it is to censor our own thoughts.

Now, there is a bunch of high-falutin rhetoric, but this is the essence of it because every now and then a liberal accidentally tells the truth:
“Why Critical Thinking?
The Problem
Everyone thinks; it is our nature to do so. But much of our thinking, left to itself, is biased, distorted, partial, uninformed or down-right prejudiced. Yet the quality of our life and that of what we produce, make, or build depends precisely on the quality of our thought. Shoddy thinking is costly, both in money and in quality of life. Excellence in thought, however, must be systematically cultivated.
A Definition
Critical thinking is that mode of thinking - about any subject, content, or problem - in which the thinker improves the quality of his or her thinking by skillfully taking charge of the structures inherent in thinking and
imposing intellectual standards upon them.
The Result
A well cultivated critical thinker:
raises vital questions and problems, formulating them clearly and precisely;
gathers and assesses relevant information, using abstract ideas to interpret it effectively comes to well-reasoned conclusions and solutions, testing them against relevant criteria and standards;
thinks openmindedly within alternative systems of thought, recognizing and assessing, as need be, their assumptions, implications, and practical consequences; and
communicates effectively with others in figuring out solutions to complex problems.
Critical thinking is, in short, self-directed, self-disciplined, self-monitored, and self-corrective thinking. It presupposes assent to rigorous standards of excellence and mindful command of their use. It entails effective communication and problem solving abilities and a commitment to overcome our native egocentrism and sociocentrism.

Send them to see these guys. They'll know what to do!
“My wife won’t let my child play soccer because it is the second most concussed sport.”
I don’t know what’ is more sad. That this guy would even consider having a son play a sissy sport like soccer — or that he lets his wife make the decisions in the family.
<< My biggest linguistic pet peeve as of late is how the youth are using “so...” with a drawn out ‘o’ at the end of sentences >>
Well, what about professors and other members of the “intellectual class” who start every paragraph with a “So” ? Even some right-wing pundits are infected with this disgusting habit!
Hear, hear. Make it stop.
“Yup I think it started with Valley Girls.”
It’s Frank and Moon’s fault! Definitely something he would have gotten a big laugh from.
