Party of Profanity.......*S*

[OneGrassRoot]

This is a light-hearted post...I hope it's not inappropriate for this forum.

I don't have the stomach to frequent RW messageboards, but I know we (the liberals) are accused of being foul-mouthed. I don't know if they swear much in their rants.

Granted, we are often foul-mouthed and I, for one, THOROUGHLY enjoy profanity as a means of expression. It's usually lighthearted, not out of anger (though it's a given * does bring that out in us), but I feel a well-placed "fuck" and so on works WONDERS for my mood.

Now, I'm polite enough to refrain when others are offended by profanity....no problem....and certainly refrain when children are around (well, most of the time....lol) But I'm not using anyone's god in vain or anything like that, and I dare say that those of us in their 30's and 40's are fairly well-educated and well-read, yet profanity is part of social banter (when with like-minded individuals, that is).

So, what's the problem? Does anyone feel this is something that does the "liberal" agenda a disservice, or should we celebrate our colorful means of expression and be the Party of Profanity?!!!

3. Yes and no.

Depends on the situation.

I'm a geezer, and the first time I heard the "f" word from my grown daughter's mouth I blanched.
Happily she's kind of outgrown that, plus now she has a 3 year old and has to watch her language.
;-)

Sometimes I use "effing" and sometime I just come out with it.
I guess it depends on how outraged I am and how far up into the Scotch.

I try not to use the actual word in a subject line if it's an original post.
Just my little decorum rule.

Some of the subject lines on the "Greatest" page make me cringe sometimes.

I'm no goody-two-shoes, but sometimes there seems to be a lot of gratuitous effing, mofoing, and c*cks*ing going on here.

Just my $.02
