130. Profanity is a valuable literary element. Its overuse by the FSS is akin to OCT meeting at Chipotle.
Sun Jun 22, 2014, 02:52 AM
Jun 2014

While there is a time and a place for all forms of literary elements, their overuse, just because we have a right to use them is akin to the mentality of those Open Carry Texas people who walk into stores to try and intimidate people.

Sooner or later, a line will get crossed and then the FSS will force valid and poetic use of profane language to become restricted.

===

So, while these FSS types relish in their current battle's win, the war is not over.

If they don't tamper their behavior, that early victory might see the tide of change sweep it away.

===

While Red Skeleton used to pride himself on not using profanity to be humorous, I have the entire collective works of Milton Berle and many of his jokes were off-color and some were fit for the pages of Penthouse or Hustler. There's a time and place for everything.


The take away: Everything in moderation, lest you be moderated!
I agree! Well said! n/t RKP5637 Jun 2014 #1
