Why are we such puritans?- Page 3

They did this song though on purpose to make a point about free speech without making too much of an issue of it.

Whoa, sorry about that rant but so much of our History is edited for easy consumption. It is just wrong though, to get ridiculous about a word that is fairly common now, that is all.Our terrible need to have everyone think like us just really isn't going to happen. As long as you vote your hearts and remember not to sweat the little things that aren't really a part of your life. No Religion is going to dominate, no matter what you are being told. Most of us though all want some peace in our lives and that is what we need to use to stay United in this Country at least. Believe what you want but be careful that what you believe doesn't run you into a hole and of those representing you.

Yeah, the whole Blue and Red thing is disturbing and worse if you find yourself stuck on the wrong side of the map. Though Bush won by rigging the Election with voter fraud. Luckily, Greg Palast's book, "Armed Madhouse" has actual emails from Karl Rove's associates proving they used "caging" to eliminate just enough Blue votes to rig Ohio and Florida's Election. I noticed it was a lot harder to find my voting place than in the past. A lot less places to vote. It was pretty obvious to me that it was being done, when I heard Bush's camp was all holed up in Ohio and Jeb Bush in Florida. I hope they all go to jail.

It is our new Judges though, that will live on to plague us to no bitter end and promise corruption will thrive even more in the Supreme Court. We can only hope a change in Govt. will drive them mad, then we can either use them or impeach them from the Bench. That is where the real damage will come from in the future.

Well, I hope we can get rid of that Powell from the FCC and put in someone more tolerant of the English language. Nothing against the guy but his agenda is just too conservative without really being conservative overall. I hope that a simple warning is enough for those few who object to these few words being said later at night. The fine isn't fair business practice, especially for a mistake. If they didn't use the word, maybe I can accept at least some honesty but I have heard it so many times on tapes from the House's floor and from Conservatives especially. Sometimes, things are just F'd-up. Not screwed up or messed up, I mean really F'd-up! If it wasn't that extreme, the word wouldn't exist. I respect that some people can't stand it but again, some tolerance doesn't seem too much to ask?

Ha,ha, knowing teens like I do, they would tune into the Tony's just hear it. I know silly but whatever reflects our thoughts and feelings in song, helps so many get past their currant frustration and hopefully past their trying periods of life.

If we know someone feels this bad about life or a situation, knowing this, can save a life. So, I have learned to tolerate not only the word but what it means in context. It is those pent-up feelings I fear the most because they can be so troublesome if they aren't dealt with. That is what I hope more will understand and why even curse words must be uttered, in times of despair and frustration, to let off a little steam.

I also recommend anyways, in shows like this, anything that pre-teens might be viewing should always be with an Adult. I introduced my Children slowly to more Adult show, just so I was there to debate their questions and share my view. Just like not all Cartoons are for young Children, some shows, like the Tony's is more for older Children not really little kids. As Parents, we do have a responsibility to screen what our Children see because they do tend to act out what they see more so than what they are told.

Instead of seeing this as a bad thing, can not everyone turn it into a learning experience instead? Though honestly, bad singing, dancing is much worse to me than a few bad words.

""Red State" - There is no such thing as a red or blue state and there never has been and there never will be.

"Puritans" - America was not settled by Puritans"

someone wasnt paying attention in history class or on the news because both of these statements are completely incorrect.
