It’s vulgar and it’s not a word we should want our kids to use.. but they sure will and do... because it’s taught. Adults today have no boundries.. or the boundries are so wide and long that it seems there are none. Words like that one has been cleansed to be accetable language.. it’s not in my book.
I’m not of this generation who sees nothing wrong with today’s acceptable behavior. That’s why God made us to live only so long and then we die. We are so far from what is norm today... I know what used to be, was much better than what the kids have to grow up in today.
Schools are nothing like they used to be... teachers are not what we used to have... the news media is not what it was.. we live in an instant world... the computer brought a way to communicate instantly.. the world is on a fast train.. impatient to get there.
