(2,534 posts)I knew so many people who were horrified seeing a woman in a movie in a low cut dress but enjoyed the most graphic of war movies. I also knew one guy who said that he couldn't understand anything that was said in Monty Python's Flying Circus (he was a monolingual English speaker) but enjoyed watching it because the showed animation of bare women's breasts.

(163,080 posts)I was there once and I felt like I was in another world - on the one hand, the diner food was excellent but.......culture-wise, there is some heavy-duty judging going on there

(2,534 posts)California. They used to say that Texas was twenty years behind California, and Amarillo was 20 years behind most of Texas. Unfortunately that is what my dad liked about it so there we stayed. Growing up, I worked since 14, within the first hour after starting a new job I was always asked what church I went to. I would say that I was Catholic and more than once I was asked why I wasn't a Christian.

(1,760 posts)Are their ears offended by the racist, misogynistic, hateful dog-whistles that are constantly said by maggots? These weirdo’s need to STFU.

(14,136 posts)Using the word fuck offends you ???
It is just a word.
It has many meanings.
It was used for emphasis in this case.
I approve.
Fuck has been my favorite word for many decades.
Fascists offend me.
The word fuck does not.

(3,359 posts)Personally, I don’t give a fuck about the swearing.
edisdead
(3,359 posts)Why is it brilliant? Because no doubt the media is going to say something about it and the answer is “well people are sick and tired of being treated the way they are and their emotions are raw”
Once again we will control the narrative.
Ninety-something-percent of Americans are completely unbothered by swearing — hell, some may even find it endearing in a "they're just like us!" sort of way. Not sure why some still act as if a speaker, politician, or some other professional publicly swearing is some highly offensive thing equivalent to being a fascist, bigot, or felon.

(9,902 posts)It's easy to get a laugh by swearing. A great comedian can get a laugh without swearing.
In this case, it's easy to get a cheer by swearing. Try getting a cheer without swearing.
This loses respect & dignity to me.

(7,294 posts)but there are times when it adds enough to get the point across.
I swear, but I use it pretty carefully.
Actually, I never would share anything online that had swear words in it...until Trump.
He has changed the need for the narrative.
But I respect your belief.

(90,999 posts)I am fucking angry too that the male maggots are trying to take away a woman’s choice over her own body. They want to ban birth control now too. You do know that some forms of that protect both parties from sexually transmitted diseases. They are not stopping there, they are coming for our voting rights as well hand more.
Sorry if the words offend you because I find their actions far more offensive than a swear word.
This is DU. This is how we react at times. We are a family here, disfunctional at times, but still a family.
Welcome to DU. I hope you find your footing here.

why the hell did you put the flat screen on *that* wall?
why don't you let your damn dog out? he's been scratching at that door for ten minutes.
how come you let your kids run around like a bunch of fucking idiots?
don't you ever tell your husband/wife to just shut the fuck up?
wow--your attitude really sucks; this is supposed to be a goddamn party not piece of shit madhouse!
sound familiar? no? but it sure as hell feels familiar doesn't it?
my advice: grow up or get over yourself

(2,056 posts)... is not determined by mere words, it is determined by your actions and how you treat others. Judgmental condemnation of another's choice of words when describing abhorrent actions by monsters is not how one wins friends.
