I wonder what his mama would say to this potty mouth?
Hey ethan... you forgot the last part of your self description... that would be ****tard poofter boy!
No buttons on that rear access flap... just Velcro for quick access and the sound of tearing cloth without the damage.
There is a time and a season for everything... including profanity. Maybe not on the pages of FR, around children or in the company of the gentler sex but to deny its proper use would be fallacy.
“When I want my men to remember something important, to really make it stick, I give it to them double dirty. It may not sound nice to some bunch of little old ladies at an afternoon tea party, but it helps my soldiers to remember. You can’t run an army without profanity; and it has to be eloquent profanity. An army without profanity couldn’t fight its way out of a piss-soaked paper bag. ... As for the types of comments I make, sometimes I just, By God, get carried away with my own eloquence”.
General George S. Patton
Me too... I know it is offensive to most FReepers and I care about FReepers more than any other group that I am associated with. I have improved but I have a long way to go. I grew up around real men... raised to be one... and the work was tough and when needed... the language was curt and to the point.
Happy New Year!
I am not surprised by this at all.
The General is sorry to be informed that the foolish and wicked practice of profane cursing and swearing, a vice hitherto little known in our American Army is growing into fashion. He hopes that the officers will, by example as well as influence, endeavor to check it and that both they and the men will reflect that we can little hope of the blessing of Heaven on our army if we insult it by our impiety and folly. Added to this it is a vice so mean and low without any temptation that every man of sense and character detests and despises it.
(Signed,) George Washington
LOL....I have been thinking the same thing for several days now.....but then I think of today’s head of the Krupp empire and I laugh. Two birds with one stone....lol.
Aren't you painting with a wide brush?
Surely you don't mean every conservative on FR is prone to profanity?
And surely you don't mean every poster on FR is a Conservative?
Some, many, too many, a bunch, a lot, etc. are very fine words to use in such instances, don't you think?
It’s the traditional f-bomb. And the p**** is the synonym for what a needle does to a finger. The linked article doesn’t obfuscate the verbiage.
“For one, you would have been hard-pressed to see Ethan on the UW campus without a beautiful, I mean beautiful girl on his arm. A smart, kind, and funny guy would have to work pretty hard to be unattractive,” the friend added. “For another, Ethan is a true leader. When he speaks, people listen, yet, he also listens to his peers. I would follow him into battle. If Ethan wants to wear pajamas, more power to him.”
Can't imagine him leading people into battle.
That’s fine and Washington was a great General... but he was not commanding a modern Army with modern Americans raised in a secular-forced Republic... and even in WWII... our population was already becoming more accustomed to harsh and crass things. Te left and their evil are persistent and work through incremental change. If you bring us a great Leader like Washington... you will remove 99% of the reasons that profanity has found its way into every day life in America. If you read my posts on this thread, you will see that we agree on 99% of what you have said. My point is still a valid one.
Heretofore referenced as the "Krupp chute"
Oh, was that a one-line wisecrack? :P
LOL
I like it! It has a ring to it!
