"I'm glad he told them to go -F- themselves.
That's an ironic choice of words coming from a supporter of the 10 Commandments.
Luckily the command "Thou shalt not cuss" was the 14th commandment, on the ill-fated tablet dropped by Moses."

Probably wasn't my most articulate post (done in the heat of the moment and all). But the -F- word is not a violation of the 10 commandments because it does not "Take the name of the lord in vain."

And although I am a supporter of the 10 commandments, I'm not a practicing jew or christian although my beliefs lean closer in that direction than, say, Hinduism. I don't think you have to be a devout christian or jew to respect the influence of ten commandments on our legal system and constitution and it's place as one of the first "code of laws" of the ancient world.

Actually I was more using your post to make a semi-arcane Mel Brooks reference.

But I do understand where you are coming from.
