Did anyone ever understand the concept of freedom of speach, religion, right to keep and bear arms? Kendall?? The reason for that was to protect human rights, keep us from oppression, giving us the right to think for ourselves, express ourselves, and protect ones self, family and property. While what one person may find to be disgusting, isn't it cool that we do live in a country where we can post our thoughts, and pass down our true history, rather than the material that is picked out as being appropriate? What one person may find truly offensive, others may enjoy tremendously. To put it simply, diversity. I get a laugh out of this as it does bring back teen and early 20's life in my area of hillbilly, Northern PA. Now, since I am in my 50's, and have traveled all over our great country, the political correct version of American language, certainly is not mainstream. Saying that, local slang and culture, be it hillbilly, southern redneck, city slang, and business language, is all practiced by Americans. In my workplace, which has been from construction, factory work, managerial, oil field, and aviation. Cuss free language is not to be found. Is it less than ever now? Not really. And, it does not seem to follow education level, nor social level, if among close friends. Just in public you hear less cussing than in the past. So live on dirty stories, raunchy limericks, and tunes. It is part of us, again, like it or not. LOL
