We here in FR are quite capable of getting on each other's cases and spew all KINDS of crap at each other ... just like when we were kids in grammer school.
We type ****er and bitch and ***t and ... well, you get the picture ... and the mod removes the comment ... and we move on.
Doesn't ANYone in politics EVER say, "Hey joe .. sit down you clown, you're making another asshole of yourself" .. or ... "Y'know Mr President, you came into town with all this hopey changey shit and all you've done is try to kill us by destroying who and what we are as Americans, and I've had just about enough of you racist shit"
And let the fur fly.
I think it is normal for men especially to just take a swing at someone who pisses us off.
In days gone by, men used to get swingin' in Congress .. on the floor
NOW it's, "My esteemed colleague"
"Esteemed my ass ... you piss me off and my ass is steamed you phuquin' punk .. "
Actually, it's an interesting point.
I bet the opponents of Mao or Hitler or Stalin NEVER ONCE called them "esteemed colleagues".
That's because they weren't. They were murdering punk-ass thugs who needed a bullet behind the ear.
One does not call a fundamental threat to your country, like Obama / Holder / Ted Kennedy / John Conyers / Barney Frank / Chris Dodd / et. al., an "esteemed collegue". One calls them a punk-ass thug.
I have posted this on FR at least 20 times.
“When I want my men to remember something important, to really make it stick, I give it to them double dirty. It may not sound nice to some bunch of little old ladies at an afternoon tea party, but it helps my soldiers to remember.
You can’t run an army without profanity; and it has to be eloquent profanity. An army without profanity couldn’t fight its way out of a piss-soaked paper bag. ... As for the types of comments I make, sometimes I just, By God, get carried away with my own eloquence.”
General George S. Patton
I am one of the most eloquent posters on FR.
