This jerk is only resounding what the average language of today's youth really is - the product of a generation without God.

It all started in 1964 when the USSC had prayer removed from . .

don't republicans ever interview people before asking them to be nominees or before hiring them?

[gridlock]

Who approved that costume?

I think all this inaugeration hooplah is just too much. The President should be sworn in on the steps of the Capitol, and then walk to the White House, where he can have a nice party, and that's it.

Several years ago I heard one of my grandsons use the term..I heard it from a distance ..and he did slip in front of me ,too...I had a good talk with him..I just told him it was a habit and he had to cut it out..I haven't heard him say it in two years..

Let's all recall Whoopie Goldberg at the Kerry fundraiser..It is everywhere.

I dont know when it started but todays youth is the foulest mouthed generation ever. They curse so often they dont even realise they are doing it. My theory is that they hear it in so many movies its become a part of their language.

Remember when the censors cried because Clark Gable said Scarlett I dont give a Damn? Now every other word in some movies is the F word. DeNiro is probably the worst but many others are almost as bad. The mouths on young girls today will curl your hair.

I think a large bag of tomatoes and ripe fruit will have to be carried tothese "concerts", or jusy booo them till they leave.!!

I would have thought you'd be quite happy to have a band saying that they loved America. I'm sure you'd be very upset if he came on and starting attacking the US.

You wouldn't get a band in the UK praising their country on stage, so you should make the most of it. Patriotism comes in many forms.

Charlie Daniels said it right...It's not a rag it's a flag, and we don't wear it on our heads (or our legs).

"Welcome to the greatest ----ing country in the world."

I have to agree with the sentiment.

Good for you! I don't know why parent's swallow the idea that kids won't listen to them. As a parent, I've learned that kids really do listen to you, even teenagers. My mom, mother-in-law and two grandmothers were some of the greatest influences in my life.

I was at a wrestling match last week, and one of my son's teammates told his mother to "shut up" after he got pinned. He later told her to "shut up" when he was seated near me. I told him not to talk to his mother that way. Both the mother and the son seemed shocked.

"They curse so often they dont even realise they are doing it."

I don't think they even know it is cursing, or that there is anything wrong with it, and even if they do, they are so disrespectful that they don't care.

[Happy2BMe]

There's no excuse for it. He knew his audience were pre-teens and very easily influenced.

I'm not buying it.

I have a good relationship with him..That helped!

Kid Rock gets blocked out of this concert, but you still can't get away from this profanity.

"I have to agree with the sentiment."

Me too... Too bad he had to use the F-word though. Cussing is appropriate when you smash your finger with a hammer, not on stage in front of a crowd celebrating the inauguration.

Damn hippie!

We say we want a civilized and considerate America. We objected to the 'wardrobe malfunction' at last year's Super Bowl. We deride John Kerry for using the 'F' word in a Rolling Stone interview. Isn't it hypocritical to accept the same kind of behavior from supposed 'patriots' on 'our' side?
