O/T language

In this kind of discussion, a non-problem seems to turn into a mushroom cloud when someone starts telling others what they should or shouldn't say, (like OMG,for instance.) I know it's all based on personal beliefs, but when those beliefs start being "preached" at others, well, that's what causes problems.

Personally, I can't remember the last time I went to church and can't say I really feel guilty about not going. I still beleive in a higher power, I just don't beleive you have to be in a designated 4 walls in order to be a catholic, or religous of any kind. My most peaceful moments are when I'm in the feild on a tractor that's screaming well over 85 decibles (yes I wear ear plugs) and doing what I love- Feild work.

I find it amusing when people claim to say the Bible says this, it says that, but they can never find any quote that actually says it.

Maybe it's just me.

I normally try to stay out of religous, political, or otherwise philosophical topics where there is no cut & dry answer.

Give me a busted machine and I can try to tell you what went wrong and the probable causes behind it...

I have another website were profanity isn't common, but it's not unacceptable -- and ya can right in a much more vernacular manner.

Pretty much akin to normal life -- I used to work with gentleman who was an evangelical pastor, and yep, I tried to watch my tounge in special defference to his sensitivity. Doesn't mean I never swore, but I wouldn't use a swear to make a point.

I know in business meetings I've called executives on the carpet with "That's a nice load of Bull ____" -- but I also backed it up by a point-by-point disecetion of problems with their ideas. And it was a concious decision to start off that way to snap the room out the complacency that was there.

And although I absolutely don't recall saying it, I've been told I dropped the F-bomb to the publisher in a meeting one day. *That* was just me dropping into a vernacular way of emphasizing a point without realizing I was doing it.

May I also assure you, if she decides it's going you will privately get a thank you via e mail.

Show some respect for others.

They definitely need to be stopped and we are doing the right thing, but it is not a war that will affect our right to free speech.

Oh, and as for your post about how this could be taken to the highest courts in the land goes, how about you just practice some common decency and respect for others and save yourself a trip to the Supreme Court.
