Perhaps we happen to know how such language ruins good dialogue. We perhaps can't take people with potty mouths seriously.Last edited by lilpixieofterror; 06-05-2018, 06:18 AM."The man from the yacht thought he was the first to find England; I thought I was the first to find Europe.

As someone who believes strong language has its place, I also believe that using it excessively is unhelpful and borderline stupid, much like the over-use of exclamation points!!!! I mean, it doesn't really bother me! But gosh it's annoying!!!!!!I DENOUNCE DONALD J. TRUMP AND ALL HIS IMMORAL ACTS.

Given the gravity of the issue of school shootings, the infamous Campolo quote comes to mind ("you're more upset that I said !@#$")..."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

long-term average number of US lightning deaths per year: 44
School shooting victims so far this year: 40
The odds of being struck by lightning vs being shot at school may have been better in the past, but probably not now. It's likely that school shootings will be higher than both shark attacks and lightning strikes this year.Last edited by Roy; 06-05-2018, 10:27 AM.Jorge: Functional Complex Information is INFORMATION that is complex and functional.
