In a time when people are easily offended by various things, prompting "political correctness" and lawsuits and protests, it's kinda funny that cuss words seem to be more and more "accepted" as the norm, rather than the exception, due to radio, TV, etc....

Cort, I'm guilty of that myself, But I also am really careful as to who I'm offending.
Now on the other hand, I work with a guy that will call a spade a spade! I've seen him call out the "N" word to a black guys face, walk over to the girls in the office and ask them to lift their tops! He's just out of control! but he gets away with it, they all know the way he is.

But I also am really careful as to who I'm offending. I'm the same way ... except, these days, it's hard NOT to offend someone somehow.... *sighs* Cort | 35swm | "Mr Monte Carlo"."Mr Road Trip" | pig valve.pacemaker ...RT 66 drive = Sept '09WRMNshowcase.legos.HO.models.MCs.RTs.CHD = www.chevyasylum.com/cort"It's a pudding made of figs ... and bacon" ...

And, imho, that's a sad commentary on society. And, btw ... who the heck invented these cuss words, anyway? And, who labeled them as "bad"  ?
