If I came to you today and asked that you pardon ten F-yous, then, indeed, my ill behaviour.

There are many,today, in the black community, who, even though they come from middle class and upper middled class homes, say that being good in school/getting good grades, is " white " and refuse to work diligently at learning. There are even some whites, who follow this example and I am NOT talking about kids who are going to terrible schools.
John Kerry's use of the F word, to seem " hip ", is yet another example of the downward trend in the debasement of the spoken and written word.
