OT Rant Crude behavior

Hay hay hay

Well-known Member
I went to the horse races today with the wife.
Weather was great, races were exciting, just a nice day to enjoy life. The grandstands were full of people, young and old, male and female, lots of youngsters, some people dressed up, some in shorts, but all having a good time.

Now I am no prude and I can cuss with the best of them, and I know all the words, but about 4 rows in front of me in plain view was a 50 year old guy and his gal and another woman. On the back of his tee shirt it says in 6 inch high letters fully spelled out----

"It's your
F***ing
Nightmare"

Obviously they let him in the racetrack wearing that shirt. I did not say anything to him. If the track allowed it it was not my place to accost him.

It really makes me wonder. This is not political rant,because I have no way to know which side this jerk is on.

My question to you: How did we get to be such a low life culture? Don't we have any self respect anymore, or respect for others or children?
 
Agreed. Have seen some similar offensive language on t-shirts. Not impressed with the guys who wear them. Must be their mommas didn't get on that page in the mother's manual. Usually just let it pass. They're advertising their own ignorance, inconsideration.
 
Maybe it's a Kentucky thing. I saw my brother take a bumper sticker off a woman's car, with a putty knife - it said "nice girls swallow". She was very unhappy about it. So was her boyfriend. If it bothers you say so.
 
It's not just T-shirts. We sat behind some low life at an NTPA tractor pull one time who was wearing a sleeveless T-shirt and had a big tattoo on the back of his hairy shoulder of two women sprawled across a motorcycle engaging in activity that kids don't need to be seeing for sure.
 
A couple of months back I went into my local grocery store and there was this moron with a Kid Rock T-shirt. The shirt had very offensive F-word language on it. I made it a point to be right behind this guy with my son so that an 75 year old lady did not have to stand behind him in the check out line.

I know exactly what you mean about the offensive garbage out there. I would really like to see a law enforced that made it a misdemenor with a monetary fine for swearing in front of women. Of course some of the women are just as bad as drunken sailors.

If my grandparents were still alive they would slap the *hit out of these disgusting bums. My grandfather for sure, who was a WW2 officer.
 
You just look at them and shake your head.
Anyone such as that is not going to be phased by anything you might say to them. If anything, they would be pleased to see it got your attention because attention is what they are trying to get.
I wouldn't give them the satisfaction.
 
I once threw a customer out of our dealership for using extremely vulgar language in front of my mother who was helping at parts counter. some people have no respect.
 
Sometimes crude people get their cumeuppance though.
I read an article a while back about a woman who has to go to court.
She shows up in a T shirt that reads; "I got the (expletive deleted - it's another word for cat). So I make the rules!"
Female judge didn't like it and threw her in jail overnight for contempt of court.
 
There was quite a locally famous case here in Michigan a few years ago over a law that prevented foul language in public. That one went to the State Supreme Court if memory serves me right. Some of you other guys correct me if I'm wrong.

A guy was on a canoe trip anyway. He tipped over and started yelling the F-word over and over within earshot of woman and kids. He was ticketed and went to court over it. Unfortunately he won.
 
I think this is a free country right? although I do not wear ones quite that "outspoken" I do feel this way, "if you do not like it do not look" if you teach your kids like I have, "what is right and what is wrong" they will know how to do the right thing, I do not feel the need to tell everyone else how to live their lives
people that do really PO me I was taught to mind my own business by my Mom and Dad unless some one was really getting hurt/hit/punched ect, if you said some thing to me like my hair was to long my pants are dirty whatever you would not like my answer
 
Randy,
I think he got away with doing community service. That"s been quite a while, 1999 or 2000 somewhere thereabouts.

This year at the Missouri State Fair, I saw many vulgar messages on T-shirts. Society has slipped. Who, in their right mind, would wear such a thing in public where little children are bound to see it?
 
Edd,
That shirt is by the band Avenged Sevenfold. I guess you would consider them hard rock or metal.

That shirt is all the rage with the younger (under 40) metal-head banging crowd.

Sorry to admit that I do listen to their music, but in no way would I ever wear or purchase a shirt like that.

Rick
 
I have too, and more then one. I had customers wives walking in there to pick up parts for their husbands, most customers knew it was a really a zero tolerance for that and intoxication.
 
Yes, it is a free country. You do have the God-given Right to speak your mind. However, with Rights come responsibilities. Oh, and your Right to swing your fist ends at my nose.
 
I think a 75 year old lady seen worse or herd worse. Pass a law to ban speech then whats next take everybodys guns away....
 
Dan I agree with talking I thought he was talking about some thing on a shirt????? BOY am I confused should have NEVER said a dang word Mom always said if you can't say anything nice do not say anything at all,, I should have listened

There was a case where a guy was at a city meeting and started using foul language. In accordance with their city laws he was arrested and charge. He fought it and won with the courts ruling that although vulgar and offensive foul language is protected speech while there is nothing that says you are protected from being offended.

After some reflection I will add to the fray here.

Some guy in town has a Dodge pickup and across the top of the windshield has a phrase starting with the make of engine minus the "s", followed by two more words that clarify the message this "person" wants to put across.

Yes I consider it quite crude but I am not about to go bust in his windshield because of it. I just shake my head every time I drive by and just figure he is portraying what he is. More power to him but I am not impressed (at least not in a good way).

When my wife and I married we both had grown kids. My kids have never used offencive language in front of me. On the other hand, her kids were in the habit of using foul language in front of her all the time. I didn't know this until one of her sons tried it in front of us when we were together.I blew up, grabbed him by the collar, slammed him against the wall and proceded to educate him about respect. I have never seen a more frightened young man. Needless to say, all of that came to a screeching halt. I WILL NOT tolerate that kind of behavior and have made that perfectly clear, in public, on a number of ocassions.
 
My Son told me about the language he heard from a group of so called ''ladies'' yesterday when their food stamp EBT cards wouldn't work, in addition to all the profanity he said they were calling the store manager stupid and said he wanted their children to go hungry. I wonder what happened to the days when those women would have been considered the stupid ones for welping a gaggle of brats they cannot feed and care for on their own. To keep it tractor related my Son told me all of the ''hungry'' complainers butts were wider than my Allis Chalmers B with the cultivators on.
 
Our culture and society is in the slide down into the cess pool. I agree completely that no one should ever be using foul language or anything like that in front of people you don't know, ladies, kids, etc. Unfortunately manners are a thing of the past. How many of us have held a door for another person and gotten a surprised look and a sort of shocked "Thanks!" I was a wrestling practice for one of my boys a couple years back and an extremely pregnant woman walked in with her boy. None of the trash around her would get up and offer her a seat, so I called to her and got her to come over and take my seat. You would have thought I'd invented fire and a cure for cancer and fat chicks in spandex at Walmart all in one move from the looks I got.

So we all agree, for the most part, that it's wrong, offensive, poor manners and shows a decided lack of self respect, respect for others and makes the person doing so look positively ignorant. Right? So why are so many people here so very, very fond of using foul language here? Yes, you have to misspell is to conceal it, but we all see it. There are kids and ladies and many men, like myself, who don't need to see the hairy chested morons using every possible method they can think of to use the "f" word. If it was just us, fine. I'm a former Marine, 20 year cop, I know words and phrases you probably never heard of. But not here. Not on line for that matter. The only way you fix this stuff is to start at square one and provide an example of how NOT to be an idiot.

Just remember, we created this mess. We get to either clean it up or live in it.
 
You have the right to "FLIP THE BIRD" to any one, anytime. It is protected free speech. Totally disrespectful, and you can not do anything about it.
BUT if the good people do nothing, what will OUR future be?

A 17 year old girl came out of the office wearing a brightly colored T shirt. I was only looking at the shirt, but she felt differently about it. OOPS
SDE
 
I once threw a fellow out of my business for "target spitting" his tobacco juice at the center of a four foot sprocket lying on the floor that I had to cut a 3/4" keyway in that 4" opening. ohfred
 

I remember when Nelson Rockefeller was VP and he got mad and flipped somebody off! Bet they didn't arrest him back then.

The last time I flipped somebody off, I was about 12 and got the you know who beat out of me (he was 16). Yeowzer, I still remember that and it hurt and I learned that life's lesson well!
