    The word SHIT

    The word SHIT

    Back in the day that word would never have been aloud on US TV but inch by inch it seems its become more and more accepted even with Adult Swim and cartoons now saying it plus Southpark but since the president has allegedly said it main stream news all over America is using the word like its nothing infact they aint even bothering to censor it!.

    Does this mean the word Shit has now become mainstream now?

    I've heard it about 100 times on CNN over the last 24 hours. George Carlin is probably happy though.

    There's a certain level of discourse expected in professional settings. Even more so from people who mean to carry themselves with some form of dignity.

    Donald Trump is proving more and more every day that he has no dignity.

    It was mainstream long before he became President. Which is why they should not be upset over him using it. :P I saw a democrat call some countries Hellholes. Seems worse than shitholes. :P

    Yeah but Hell and Damn and the almost F words that get made up for SciFi are ok for public TV.

    I never liked the idea of ostracising and censoring "curse words" anyways. I'm not exactly going to censor myself around my future children either. I despise the very idea of censorship.
    Let's get 1 thing straight, I'm not

    Words only hold power if you give it to them. Shit, ass, damn, bitch, fuck, supercalafragilelisticexbealadoshish; its not the word itself that carries weight, but how one uses it. It's only atricious if you make it so.

    Back in the day, Beavis and Butthead use to say Buttmunch all the time, Finally the creators slipped in Assmunch and the censorship folks didn't catch it (because they heard buttmuch so much, it sailed past them) or didn't care anymore.

    Fuck and it's sub flavors will probably be the only one that doesn't make it.

    It's not a bad word, just a bad place to be.

    Me too i hate censoring words and i think it has been utterly pointless especially here in America but because TV networks thinks advertisers thinks curse words mean less viewers but its time to dispel that myth and just allow swearing on US tv especially if they allow violence and shit like that (pun intended)!.

    Winner.

    And for all of you who know the seven words you can't say, but you say all of them daily, double winner.

    Let's all ride the Gish gallop.

    Do you have any idea how hard it was for me not to post something using all seven?
    With COVID-19 making its impact on our lives, I have decided that I shall hang in there for my remaining days, skip some meals, try to get children to experiment with making henna patterns on their skin, and plant some trees. You know -- live, fast, dye young, and leave a pretty copse. I feel like I may not have that quite right.
