Start listening to the discussions around you, folks ... it's a whole lot dirtier than your sainted ears are apparently accustomed to
Oh yeah, and I've been real curious about this but
how many folks on this thread that are so ready to tar & feather the OP are under, say 35 years of age? With the exception of stockmanjr who I know is, it sure sounds like mommy & daddy are out lecturing their kids
so your point is that because swearing is ok in one context, it should be acceptable, or at least disregarded, in another context? poor form by the OP. that doesn't make what the FA did right either (based on the very limited information we have), but neither does it excuse the OP.
for the record, I'm under 35.
