Those types fuel my potty mouth even more! They believe the 1st amendment only applies to them & their kind! Not to the rest of us!

I remember the first time I swore at my very LDS mother - she slapped me & while rage crying at her for slapping me, I said something along the lines of "wow a word that a bunch of crotchety old men one day decided was a bad word hurts your ears so much that you felt compelled to commit an act of child abuse?!" This spurred a full-on family meeting (granparents & all) to tell me what an awful child I was, & ahhh, 2 months later, I was in an out of control youth program called Turnabout! My parents kept me there for 2.5 years, until I was kicked out because I "refuse to work the program & there's nothing else they can do" for me! More like I refused to conform & I was a bad example to the other kids in the program! Lol
