Jamie was about 3 and tucked safely in her car seat.
My daughter was backing out of the driveway and slammed on the brakes.
Our little Jamie clearly said her newly learned word.
Then there's the George Carlin monologue on the "special" word.
“”The article (anyone read it?) is not a horrified church lady screed. Rather it speaks to what is appropriate language to conduct our national discourse.
So far, I’m not seeing much indication that it much matters.””
Yes, I did and I’m surprised that it was written in 2011. I was disappointed that Dennis thought it was pretty much ok for him to use the same kind of language under certain conditions in his own home tho’...I have to agree with you about not much indication here that any of it matters. SAD! I guess we know where the acceptance of this vulgarity comes from. Why does FR have “profanity” is not allowed in threads/posts if it’s so acceptable to the mainstream? ODD!
I just posted my thoughts on it in reply to another post...can’t change the way I was raised and it’s sad to think the replies are mostly from people who weren’t raised to think this was objectionable. I don’t think our parents said “don’t say those words” - it was just accepted that we were taught and knew what was acceptable and what was not.
I will say that if Trump talks like this currently on the campaign trail, I won’t even consider his name on the ballot. They say we have to respect “the office” if not the person who holds the office. Not likely if this is going to be the case. I guess we’ll see.
You must have been prepared to take the heat when you posted this...More power to you. Talk is cheap and none more so than the ones here who are lambasting anyone who speaks ill of Trump. HORRORS!
