Sewer trout is too kind - a trout is a fine fish to eat. Backwater carp would be more accurate.
Yes, they did. I, on the other hand, served honorably
in the US Navy from 1961 to 1965. I went to Canada
to operate the Canadian subsidiary of an American country.
I didn't leave to avoid anything.
Yes, and many of them returned in 1980 - after the war -
only to find that there were still things they disliked about
America. If thing were better up north, why return with complaints?
If you are insinuating I was a draft dodger, please
stuff it. As for the rest, if my criticizing the coarsening
of feminity during the 70s bothers you, well, you
can stuff that, too. Thank you.
I fully agree with the author about the courseness and degridation of our languge, and thereby our attitudes. During my entire experience in the USN, I heard many vulgar utterings... but it was because of the time and place. My fellow shipmates were (by far) more refined when they hit-the-beach and at least attempted to intermingle with society on a higher level... Well, much to their credit, they tried hard not to come across as the "foul-mouthed-sailor" when representing their Navy.
My point is that people no longer seem to have any sense of the time or place when verbalizing their thoughts.
This paragraph from the article was, IMHO, most germaine:
"Therefore, the Catholic who would truly like to fight the egalitarian trend in temporal society, the Catholic who truly desires a restoration of Christian Civilization, would by principle choose to love everything that is cultivated, elevating, and ennobling, and likewise avoid everything that is ignoble, base, and coarse. This includes vulgar and egalitarian language."
I understand the author was writing to a "Catholic" audience; But, I would like my fellow Freepers to ignore the word "Catholic" as a reference to a faith and think of it in it's true meaning as "Universal."
P.S.; As long as I'm at it... I believe we could also apply the articles concept to "personal communication via tattoo's;" which are an obscene affront to the human body as well as spirit. (OK,...my hatred of tattoo's is one of my personal hot-buttons; I just can't resist an opportunity to condemn them any chance I get).
Thou art all, a gaggle of beetle-headed dankish pox-marked apple-johns!
If'st thou exchangest word for word with me, I shalt makest thy wit bankrupt!
