I'm sorry but you don't "accidentally" curse unless you have Tourettes.

I think people need to quit being big babys over stuff like this. Oh no, she said the f word. THE HORROR, THE HORROR!!!

People need to have their rights taken away. That's whats wrong with this country blah blah blah.

Cry me a river.

Yeah while she probably didn't deserve to be arrested ... I do find it funny. She wasn't beaten or abused -- just made look to look like trash. It isn't so much the language as much as a general disrespect and sense of entitlement that people have these days. She may have the right to say it but others have the right to not be forced to hear it - it's a catch 22. Oh yeah, I also think your kids should be spanked and paddled at school (yes there is a huge difference in spanking and abuse - the two are not the same thing). Put a little of that back and you might stop some of this apathetic group that respects nobody, expects everything, does whatever they want whenever they want, don't learn and yet don't really want to work either. They just wait to mommie and daddy to come bail them out of all their little problems in life because that is the way it has always been.

Frankly I find her arrest outrageous. If I choose to have bad taste and cuss then that should not be something that the police deal with.
I don't appreciate others forcing their idea of decency on me. I think its disgusting that the laws have gotten to this place and I have to say it, I think its the morality dictated by religion that is bringing this about.

If I want to cuss, then I will cuss. Its that simple.

If you're upset, say "Balderwash". That will being relief and you'll forget about what made you mad because you're thinking to yourself "Balderwash"? What the heck is balderwash? Why did I say something so outrageous as balderwash? And, they won't arrest you for saying balderwash. Well, maybe in Pearland they will but not most places.

Works for me.

just an example of how the government wants to take over our cities using martial law...a police state....controlling everything we do and say...

Balder-wash or Balder-dash?

When you get mad, maybe you should also use ''poppycock.'' Though that still might get you arrested in Pearland too.

It's racist.

How in the world do you come to that conclusion?! From what I read it had nothing to do with race.

Step one, instead of "ass" say "buns" like "kiss my buns" or "you're a buns-hole..."

It's easy, m'kay?
