Please don't use your kids as a reason that I can't say what I want to say. Just because you decided to have kids doesn't mean that the world needs to change to facilitate their impressionable minds. If you want to censor yourself , feel free, but don't pretend that it's for your kids, it is really so that you can follow the path of least resistance and buy into the religion of political correctness. |
Okay, in my first post; I just got distracted by the telephone ringing and had to answer it. I meant a child's teacher. But I'm glad you brought that up because you are correct; Griffin is a comedian speaking to adults.
So, let's leave outthe children for a minute. Let's say you, I; or any adult at their workplaceis asked something along the lines of: "Why didn't you finish that report (or task); you (add your own invective here)?
Or lets say you are married. Your wife tells you that her immediate supervisor(male) refers to her at work constantly as a dumb c---. He does not actually hit her. Does this make it any better? Remember, they are adults; and no one was physically touched!
All you married men out there who proudly say that they could or would allow their wife to be spoken to in this manner; please speak up.
I'm just guessing here, but I'm figuring more would tend to be angry about this; and either take up this situation with the Human Resources department of their wife's company, or just beat the male supervisor into a pulp.
But that's what words do. We can never really ban or get rid of words. But, we can hold ourselves responsible to a modicum of civilized behavior.
As faras you hating someone; that's your own business. Personally, I do not hate- but I dislike certain people, items, ideas, and so forth. The difference between hating and disliking is simple: to hate offers no possibility of solving any difference between two parties. To dislike means that one just disagrees strongly with another person, idea, or event. But there can always be reconciation.
