At least that's what the average adult is equipped with. Kinda scary...
In 500 words or less, what are you thoughts on this?

Listen to an average conversation and you will hear lots of repeated words. If you listen to a conversation between some (mostly GenX) people (reguadless of sex) you will hear a lot of four letter words. I often wonder if some of these supposedly educated people learned any other adjectives...
This is the main reason I keep telling my daughter shut off those one dimentional "reality" shows on MTV. It would seem the players in these little vignettes have to use a bleeped word about every fourth word.
Don't get me wrong, I can blast off with the best of them. I just don't think its necessary to use these words in a polite and reasoned conversation. |
Oh f*ck off! (Jes kiddin'!) You know I love you right?

Yup there's my problem - thinking adults will talk and act like adults.
On that note, I worked in a jail for seven years. Believe me, there isn't a word or combination of words anyone could say that would get to me. They've all been directed at me by rather angry people. This was one of the milder ones: Why don't you kiss my *&*&^*%% mother &&%& **&^%. You &^# mother *&^^$%% (*& hole !!
