to say it all for us. "Fuck" just doesn't do it for me anymore. "Republican", "conservative" and "teabagger" have all made the severity of the word "Fuck" seem trite and limp. I need my outraged penned by someone who creatively and cleverly uses vulgarity to hit the nail right on the head.

It's the "TURN ON SOANDSO RIGHT NOW!" that I can't stand, especially since whatever was of interest is over by the time the poster hits "send," and there is no information in the body of the post as to why it was so earthshaking.

I'm not fond of blind links, either, with no quoted material, paraphrased if the site is one of those lawsuit happy sites.

Or the "OMG, SOANDSO REALLY STEPPED IN IT NOW!" subject lines with absolutely nothing in the body of the post, no where, when, why, and how whatsoever.

There's a lot of room for improvement if people stopped for just a nanosecond and thought about what they were posting.

DU aint Twitter. You do get to complete your thoughts here.

I'm no prude, but it does put me off in supposedly serious discussion forums like GD.
OK, flame away.

I think my late mom, God Bless Her, used the word once in my presence. When she used it I was like "Wow".


My dad on the other hand used it quite frequently but hardly in anger...
