F word not offensive
Lana Matthews of Denver writes:
F Bush—Fight Bush! Did you think I would use the simple Saxon word, a perfectly polite word displaced by convoluted copulate or indirect intercourse, words forced on us with the brutal Norman conquest? One result: our serviceable, sturdy language was vanquished to the swear realm, along with the conquered. Do we still have such namby-pamby sensibilities that we have to be protected from the F word and other offensive words or victimless acts that could break the bones of us whimpering, simpering delicate creatures? Shall we mutter and stutter and wash the CSU editor’s mouth out with soap?
Pitiful us, sniveling and cringing over some words a ruler decided long ago were of a barbarian people, the English. Daddy’s here to save us from the bogeyman. Daddy’s here to coddle, protect, censor, and impose morality so we don’t have to think; we can just automatically react. Say, “gasp.” Scream, “shame.”
The words I find offensive?: Poverty, Starvation, WAR, TORTURE. But no, this culture passes its time being horrified by single syllable words for the sex act and bodily functions. My answer? F. Bush. My father’s dead, and I’m an adult.

funny, I repeated what Vice-President Cheney said, and they wouldn't publish it on this blog.
Yet the first commentors words are there.
Seems the RMN is exercising their right-leaning double standard again.

Posted by on October 25, 2007 04:27 PMThis is the smartest letter I've read on this forum in weeks. It's interesting that the only swear word from "god's" point of view ("damn") is the only one you can say on TV.
I'm sure you'll piss off a lot of the ignorant masses with this email, but you are historically accurate, and your letter is well written (which is, I'm sure, why it will piss off the ignorant masses).
Posted by Grog on October 25, 2007 04:30 PMBy Lana useing the f word so often, maybe this is why she can only get sailors as dates. her tone and vocabulary is that of a two dollar tart found near shipyards.
Posted by on October 25, 2007 05:03 PMLana: MORE POWER TO YA, GIRL!!! Truly, your letter was well-written and dead-on accurate. The same, sadly, can't be said of the anonymous posters who tried to sully your name.
KISSES!!!
hey look maybe sheila and lana are in the same boat crunching on the carpet.
do you kiss your mom with that mouth full of shit you have there?
Hey Lana, if you don’t think it’s an offensive word, why not spell it out? What are you afraid of? After all, your daddy is dead, and who knows, may be your mother just don’t give a damn.

Posted by on October 25, 2007 09:10 PMWow, the crown jewel of the liberal left spoke, with sparkling intelligence, as usual, bubbling to the surface from the sewer of the Democratic party. How typical.
Posted by Uno on October 25, 2007 09:34 PMRepublicans are liars.
Posted by rick on October 26, 2007 12:04 AM"Republicans are liars."
And Democrats aren't? Were you born yesterday, lies are a politician's bread and butter. Keep those partisan blinders on though, it's "progressing" us somewhere.
Posted by Things wont change when we keep replacing crooks with slightly different crooks on October 26, 2007 12:13 AMThese are among the most juvenile comments I have ever read, using curse words to chastise the use of curse words is oxymoronic at best and just plain idiotic. But what else does one expect from ignorance and zealousness.

Deicide Corner: If a father deliberately allowed a child to misbehave, in order to inflict punishment afterward, we would consider him a bad parent, unjustly manipulating a child’s naiveté to satisfy his own sadistic impulses.
