The New York City Council, which drew national headlines when it passed a symbolic citywide ban earlier this year on the use of the so-called n-word, has turned its linguistic (and legislative) lance toward a different slur: bitch. The term is hateful and deeply sexist, said Councilwoman Darlene Mealy of Brooklyn, who has introduced a measure against the word, saying it creates “a paradigm of shame and indignity” for all women. But conversations over the last week indicate that the “b-word” (as it is referred to in the legislation) enjoys a surprisingly strong currency — and even some defenders — among many New Yorkers. And Ms. Mealy admitted that the city’s political ruling class can be guilty of its use. As she circulated her proposal, she said, “even council members are saying that they use it to their wives.”

O’Reilly was right, you all are a hate group. You hate the spelling impaired. :)
I realized my mistake about a nano second after I posted it, and figured I would be crucified in no time. Forgive me, it was my first time posting an article.

Ex: Whenever he heard the "b" word, he would feel an erotion in his nether regions.
It’s a Female Dog, or Worse. Or Endearing. And Illegal?
Don't tell the mods, his title is great!
I Second That Erotion
Artist(Band):The Temptations
Maybe you’d like to give me kisses sweet
Only for one night with no repeat
Maybe you’d go away and never call
And a taste of honey is worse than none at all
Oh little girl
Chorus
In that case I don’t want no part
Well that that would only break my heart
Well if you feel like loving me
If you got the notion
I second that erotion
Well if you feel like loving me
If you got the notion
I second that erotion
Maybe you’ll think that love will tie you down
And you ain’t got the time to hang around
Maybe you think that love will make us fools
And so it makes you wise to break the rules
Oh little girl
[chorus]
In that case I don’t want no part
Well that that would only break my heart
Well if you feel like loving me
If you got the notion
I second that erotion
So if you feel like giving me
A lifetime of devotion
I second that erotion
No problem. Most of us have done far, far worse. You can alert the administrator to correct the title if you want.

I am in control of my erotions!
