Kendall made a reference that this had no social redeeming value. My point is this, when one person or maybe more find this disgusting, they SCREAM loud and hard, and then soon we find things banned. Not that he made a particular reference to freedom of speech, or any portion of the bill of rights, and the constitution. I don't smoke. But, I don't care if someone else does. However, at the time, there was a minority of people who screamed loudly, and gradually smoking has been banned in most public places. Is it right for a LOUD minority to be able to enact laws that affect the public as a whole? If something OFFENDS you, click away from it. If the show on the TV is one you don't care for, then CHANGE the channel. Same as abortion. If you don't agree with one, then don't get one. Don't make laws that affect others, without first seeing if it really is for the public good, or just to satisfy a few LOUD people. Personally, I don't agree with abortion, but I am a man, and will never be faced with carrying a child. So, as such, it is NONE of my business.

The comment from Bill D about it being racist.. Well, yes, it sure is. Came from Ft Bliss TX in the early 40's Was the original as you state, truly the original? Was this published as you know it before that? Or was it a version that came later?

Taste: A matter of personal preference. As I pointed out, through my life which brought me in contact with MANY types of people, of varied education levels, including PhD, MD's, regular blue and white collar, to rednecks, and hillbillies, I found most men will come up with a lot of silly, to very raunchy, sexist, rude, filthy, jokes. In my personal experience, some of the most surprisingly filthy jokes and stories came from women in their 60's & 70's. The filthiest mouth I ever heard was a woman who at the time, (now deceased) in her 80's who was a retired PhD, with an MD, and a DC. She also spent many years in the classroom before her Graduate degrees as a one room school teacher and administrator in Northern PA. So is it TASTE?? I truly feel this mentality is human nature.

Sexist: This one I find truly FUNNY! Women, in my experience say the word CUNT, more than men do. When mad at another woman, many use more sexist remarks than any man would.

RACIST: Ok, here we go. A white man calling a black man a nigga. Yet, black men, and women use it as a term of endearment. The even call themselves that! I live in TX, and come in contact with many Hispanics. I have several Hispanic, and Black friends. Put those 2 races together to hear some really spicy language, and cut downs. These people are all Bachelors degree or higher, and I hear "Stupid Mexican, Lazy Nigga, etc" The old joke of why Mexican and Niggas don't breed cause their kids would be too lazy to steal, joke I first heard from a Mexican.

Do I personally cuss at every opportunity and use the word Fuck in every sentence? No. But I do find it interesting how rampant this type of language is among small circles, especially if you add a few shots of whiskey, or beers.

Tell me this: Why is it the raunchiest of comedians are making SO much money if this type of human language is NOT leaning toward mainstream?
