Rudeness, and How YOU Deal With It

Maybe kspkap is one of those straight edge people who grew up with NO SWEARING in the household. I know one friend of mine, whose house I went to, and he told me not to swear because I had said a swear word that I thought nothing of. I had to bite my tongue around his parents so much because I am so use to swearing while I talk.

I am unable to Ignore/Delete just one post. R_Kane may as you say, normally post without the foul words. But, the aforementioned post by R_Kane using the verbiage he/she did was disgusting. I'm unable to "skip" over the words because they are there. I see them, therefore I read them. Mild swearing doesn't bother me in the least. I, myself, use mild swearing words daily, he__, d__n, bi___h, but it's the words most foul, George Carlin's "seven dirty words", which I cannot abide by. Those "seven dirty words" have become so easy to utter and write. They are no longer "locker room" words. Can we not attempt to be more genteel? Maybe I'm expecting too much especially when we had a VP of the US utter "Big f-ing deal!".

BTW, the households I grew up in were not straight-laced. Sometimes more than one family under one roof! As I recall, my dear mother never swore, but my dad, aunts, uncles, etc. could let it fly! But, not the words I speak of. I never heard those growing up. They were not used at my places of employment....maybe now they are...

ok, I'll give you that, sooo let me rephrase that

there are much more things that frosts your ass than rudeness such as cancer, HIV aids, terrorism/Isis, inner city killings, etc.
do you really believe that rudeness is the worst epidemic in our world today?

Interestingly enough, one of Bradbury's items of advice to aspiring writers was, " fall in love with movies. "

I was raised to be polite, too, but it seems like most people forget what that means. (I'm 20, btw.) I blame it on smartphones and the Internet: people are too obsessed with their online presence that they forget about real people. Granted, I'm just as guilty of this, but I've always been shy and it's easier to communicate online than in person (for the most part).

Also, my locker was right around the corner the stairs, so maybe that's why people congregated there. It was also a bottom locker.

I spent 2 weeks in Covington Kentucky but I didn't notice any of that kind of driving, maybe because it's so far up and close to Cincinnati, however, no matter what state I go to, and there have been many, the drivers are not as courteous as California drivers, don't know if it's a law or an unwritten law, but they just won't let you in, they're just going too fast to slow down which would cause a catastrophe.

Sounds like a good one. I'll have to put it on my list! 😁😁😁😁
