If you can't control your mouth , what can you really control?.. go with the flow kind of people makes one like everyone else with no standard for themselves.

Those who realize they can be better and with the help of God who can transform them to be on a higher plain with God and not settle for what the world transforms then into.

I don't dislike you, nor does God, it is the low standard that people accept for themselves. Sort of invited to a banquet but prefer to eat out of a garbage can.

I can control my mouth, T. My daughter has never heard me use the F word. When I'm around adults, I assume they don't mind adult language. Granted, I get that soldiers have a different standard than many. We use the F word constantly in professional settings. I wouldn't do that if I were a civilian. Glad to hear you are so anti-F word, but please realize this isn't 1955, and even in 1955, plenty of people said the F word.

Hell plenty of Civilians use the f word quite a bit as well, much of my office does, including my wealthy Republican boss.

Johnny Cash had an apartment in Asbury Park NJ in the Berkeley Carteret in the 80's of which he was an investor in the Convention Hall and the Berkeley. I live a few miles from there in the summers.

He was a good humble man.

We all have standards and it is us who pick what standards to live by. It is called having free will.

It's just a word, get over it! And I know plenty of Christians who use the F-word, but I'm sure you'll just say "they're not a REAL Christian" - like you're the Christian police, and can determine who is or isn't following your personal standards. Btw, do you understand the meaning of this word within the context of the song?

Cool -- so I wouldn't have to feel like I was working in a daycare in your office? Great.

The feeling is mutual, I'm sure...

there are some decent people in the world that don't use foul language...
And there are decent people who curse too - often more decent than your beloved clean-mouthed conservative Christians.

Conservatives don't curse? Ummmm, okay... if you say so!!

What's wrong with truck drivers, anyways? They are an important part of the supply chain for most goods. Why is sounding like them such a horrible thing? I'd rather sound like them than an 80 year old church lady.

So leave our free will alone, and worry about your own... or does this freedom only apply to RRWNJs? And do you support censorship?
