Cussin, and swearing, beep beep!
Nothing on TV today, getting read to load up a DVD. Reading some of the AMHD post in the "active members" board, I am suddenly annoyed by the TV. It's turn down low, but all I can hear is a "BEEP" every 3 seconds.
So I look to see what channel it's on, and I see it's on some cooking thing, where the chefs are getting all mad at each other and swearing back and forth.
Uagh... hold on, let me turn that down...
Okay, I'm back... anyway
A thought occurs to me...
What's the point of this type of censorship anyway? Why not just come out and say it, we all know what they are saying anyway. What we don't want the kids to hear? Well, kids know what they are saying too. It tickles me, now some kids, and adults who want to censor themselves in public literally say the "beep" instead of the word.
If you are in a situation where you can't cuss, wouldn't it make more sense to change your grammar so that you are not calling on such words to begin with. Like when you are sitting with grandma. I never swear in the presence of my grandma, or mother.
Kind of like people who saw "darn" and "heck", and "shoot". It means the same thing!
Now I can cuss like a sailor when I get fired up, but at the same time, I also have a respectful vocabulary I can call upon as needed.
Just thinking is all...
