You're still WRONG!

Don't you EVER read what I post, but only write ridiculous CRAP, trying to refute me and losing, in the attempt to "prove" that you are correct and I'm not?

Frankly, I don't know WHY I even bothered replying to you, with examples and which plays you can find what I was talking about can be found!

Sure, Shakespeare wrote some fantastic plays ( not all of them are "gems" ! )and whilst I do believe that he wrote them, I also know that he cribbed stuff from other plays/authors, added a massive amount of political propaganda to curry favor with the monarch of the time, and had to be careful of that day's censors, who could prevent plays from ever being seen ...he STILL loaded every single play with vulgarities, profanities, the taking of GOD and Jesus' name in vain, obscene sexual stuff!

THE ONLY THINGS HE OMITTED WAS TODAY'S EXPLICIT SEX SCENES/NUDITY ON STAGE AND CAR CRASHES THAT ARE IN THE MOVIES!

OTOH...there's suicides, murders, torture, and lots of blood!

Today's supposed writers have lousy vocabularies, NO imagination at all, and less story telling skills than the average 6 year old had in 1950!

“Today’s supposed writers have lousy vocabularies, NO imagination at all, and less story telling skills than the average 6 year old had in 1950!”

Agreed, and I thank you for the information you imparted on Shakespeare, I just haven’t had time to follow up on any of that today but I will.

Part of mmy experience with Shakespeare has always been theatrical productions and Cliff Notes and perhaps the odd Shakespearean movie none of which go to the extent of the profanity and vulgarity that you have explained.

I’m going to have to read unabridged scripts, as I don’t think I ever really recognize what I have read as being abridged in the first place.

Unfortunately I don’t have any unabridged Shakespearean Scripts at my fingertips, if you have a link I would appreciate it.

Actually no, I don’t really have to partake or read any vulgar unabridged versions of Shakespearean work. I’ll just take your word for it, but a link would be nice.
