...I listen to the people on the radio routinely use the words I won't use, the P-word talk about being anger and the A-word that describes the rear -- the derriere. These are common words now, and nobody condemns it when you have this kind of vulgarity expressed on television shows or movies or music.


 


'When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said, in a rather scornful tone,
' it means just what I choose it to mean, neither more nor less.'

'The question is,' said Alice, 'whether you can make words mean so many different things.'

'The question is,' said Humpty Dumpty, 'which is to be master - that's all.'

Unfortunately YES. What once was thought to be a character of the lowest most uneducated of society, has not trickled up to be the norm of the majority of any class.

The vulgarity of speech has led to many of the ills of America today...When one loses all self respect and have no regards for decency and morality we are truly doomed as Americans. Because once you reach the reprobate state of mind and most of society is of the same set, it is nearly impossible to get out of it. People just want to be liked by others and are a rejected part of society if they fail to do so, scorned as "who do you think you are". sad

Hypocrisy is saying one has faith/believes in GOD and then use the terms that are so Popular today that are used for shock value only. Not possible as they are two opposites.

And it gets worse when you have Presidents and leaders behaving this way....and "normal" people lap it up..., and even worse yet is when Prominent ministers have no problem with this and lend their names in support.
