Hmmm. Is this kinda like what the girl said to the sailor???

Years ago, and for many years, there was a popular morning jock team in Buffalo, called Taylor and Moore. Harve Moore had this deep metallic voice and often read his original stories: Adventures from the Land of Fa. The key character was the king. You take it from there...
The funniest thing was how well a bunch of naughty words were disguised at a time when censors monitored everything. It was George Carlin/Smothers Bros. style and you either like that kind or satire or not.

The F bomb
 

Today, little is censored. Listen to some of the "rap music" that is played on the boom boxes that are often in the car next to you, bursting your ear drums as well as vibrating your car, at multiple decibles and you will get my drift. Further along the line, the use of foul language often tells you that those people tend to be lowlifes and much of the language used, denigrates women. Is it no wonder that the young people, our grand children, pick up on this trash and treat their mothers, sisters and girlfriends aand teachers with a lack of respect. Certainly, censors have their place in our society and ought start with this type of "expression". And, is it really necessary to see these rappers holding onto their crotch as if there is something there.
It is easy to look the other way and say taht these youngsters are merely expressing there culture. Well, what culture is that?
Thanks for letting me get on the soap box. I would say much more, but I think the point is made.

What I find kind of interesting is when someone on TV says "God damn" they usually bleep out God. What is that all about?

[QUOTE=Talk Host;305088]For the past six months, I've been playing golf every Wednesday with a foursome that includes a very laid back, quite cardiologist who is of Pakistani origin. He usually says about 10 words during the whole match. He is an excellent golfer.

Two weeks ago he was having a bad putting day. When he missed the third short putt, I heard every variation of the "F" word that has been uttered and then some. Like the drill instructors back at Parris Island. The whole while he was swinging his putter over his head like a bolo.

I don't care who you are ,,,,THATS FUNNY !!!

Some of the cable channels are already using "S..T" un-bleeped. Somewhere it became official that it wasn't banned anymore. Even "South Park" had an episode where they attempted to use the word in the un-banned manner, and then had a tally going every time they used it. Got over 200 tallys.

I remember when commercials couldn't even advertize a woman's bra on a real person.
Then there were the twin beds for married couples, and one foot had to be on the floor at all times. Remember Rob & Laura....LOL

Ah yes. The epitome of romance was Rock Hudson and Doris Day and they never removed articles of clothing from each other on the big screen.

Yup Gracie, but Rock Hudson would not make it today. Everybody in Hollywood knew his sexual identity but the public did not have a clue. Sorry state of affairs today is that privacy is almost nonexistent.

I remember them well...they were hilarious!

My youngest son is now 30 and never ceases to remind me that I said the "F"
word once when he was about 8...must have made quite an impression on him!

It's not only the swearing on television that amazes me...it's the content of the discussions....Two and a Half Men comes to mind...I can't believe what they get away with! :22yikes:

I would think that sort of behavior would eliminate that man from any foursome --- PERIOD! That sort of outburst, even within a male foursome seems totally uncalled for! Sorry to be a prude!

In the South, ladies (as opposed to "femaled") don't swear, but you can take it to the bank that when a Southern lady invokes the term "Well, bless your heart", that IS NOT what she really means! And, she did it without stooping to vulgar language.

THAT IS KNOWN, AS MY DADDY USED TO SAY, THE "ART OF NASTY NICE"!:wave:

The increasing use of gutter language on television, in the movies
 

in school is merely a reflection of the passive permissiveness we have allowed our values to degenerate.
In my house, my kids, grandkids and visitors get an ear full from me when they use the so called acceptable alternates to the f bomb like freakin' or friggin'.

Over the years I have been tested from time to time by one or another of my kids when the "forgot" and blurted the f bomb. They are then and there advised the next time they get invited out of the house.

I am not a prude either. But we do have certain values I grew up with and intend to keep....regardless the degeneration of core values around us.

btk

Amen! I fear we will be the last generation to take this kind of a stand.
