Which is something I'm sure religious social conservatives have been saying since they started letting non-Presbyterians into the colonies.

FX has always been kind of notorious for the amount of sex, violence, and cursing they will show from what I remember.

I remember when people freaked out about Nip/Tuck having a sex scene on FX. We've come a long way in 12 years.

You wouldn’t reject the concept of things being profane if you held something sacred.


I prefer things I consider sacred to be tangible (help the impoverished, preventing kids from going hungry, access to clean water/food, etc). I'm not too concerned because of a word made up with 4 letters and one syllable comes out of someone's mouth (as long as they're not around kids).

That's called a 'stock photo'. I'm sure Neil Degrass Tyson and Steven Hawking are stupid too because they use cussy words.

No worse than these guys.







I hate the tediousness of posting pictures here from mobile.

How sure are you?

And how sure are you that becoming more tolerant of other beliefs is the same thing as losing belief that speech could be considered profane or that propriety in speech is something to which we should aspire?

Because the comparison seems tenuous at best. It seems thoughtless and trite.

Regular broadcast tv (ABC) didn't say the word. They only said it was such a bad profanity that they couldn't repeat it. They didn't even show the word with letters missing so we could figure it out. I had to go online to see what horrible word Trump said.

Using your thinking, why would this matter? after all it's just four letters and one syllable.

It doesn't really. The kids will eventually hear it and will probably eventually be saying it by the time they're in their teens.

However, because I realize the idea of not using curse words is a strong social construct for many, I respect the parent's decision to not expose their kids to profanity.

I know history. Throughout history people like you fought change of social norms on moral grounds.
I'm not just talking speech.

We are talking about speech, though.

Is it your contention that ALL social norms are to be eradicated?

FCC used to enforce specific rules on broadcasts but all of that somehow has faded away.

Nobody is fooled by f--- and s---, so they might as well use the full word.

literally turned the TV on to some of the news stations last night and that's the big headline across the screen. "SHITHOLE"...


I've got better question for you.

Why can we show graphic violence on TV, but tits are out of bounds? I can't tell you how many people are fine with their pre-teen to teen kids watching The Walking Dead, but check the parents reviews for nudity before they will take them to a movie.

Exposing young kids to pronanity leads to trashy kids
It's definitely the parents responsibility
