I often wonder how many Americans, have said or ever will say the "F" word, at least one time in their entire lives vs. how many have ever thought it.
fifty percent or more?
"I often wonder how many Americans, have said or ever will say the "F" word, at least one time in their entire lives vs. how many have ever thought it."
Excellent point. And how many Americans defecate? Perhaps he should have defecated onstage.
There is an old-fashioned concept that is being eroded daily: decency and decorum.
Thinking it or even saying it in anger or in a controlled situation is totally different from saying it in front of an audience. I was raised to believe that certain words were not acceptable IN PUBLIC........it was called manners......many today have not been raised accordingly, unfortunately.
In the confines of my home I probably say the F word at least once per day -- BUT I don't say it when at work, at church, at school, or out in social settings.
Given a chance I would not sing the F word, write a song with it in the title, or use it in an interview. Most importantly I would not market the word or my personal sex life to a group of youngsters.
Does that make my use of the word morally right? Of course not but at the very least, I can exercise self control and discretion where so many of these "entertainers" will do anything and market anything to a child to make an easy dollar.
I would assume that one's English would have to be OK in order to use it. Though not necessarily.
