I realy love the way this gets laid at radios feet. Its forgoten that a certain T.V. personality had a snipers wanted sighn on the bottom of the screen while G.W. was giving a speech. John Carry said " I could go down to 1600 pennsulvania ave. and kill the real bird with one stone." on a T.V. personalities show one night.
A certain President said he was carrying a gun to a knife fight. And many other such very same situations but it get spun to one side and layed on radio.
You poor deprived child!

(...and now that we're back on track here...)
Ya know folks, after reading through this thread and particularly where some of my fellow Yanks seem to be badmouthing other countries about their "lack of freedom", I can't help but think of a little something Friar John posted in that "Current Events" thread today where he states:
Quote:
I read a statistic, and again, this it to reinforce Steven's point, not to get political, that this is a violent country. Where there's a will there's a way. Not only do we outnumber all other civilized western countries in gun deaths per capita, we vastly outnumber other countries in knifing deaths (probably baseball bat and crowbar deaths as well). I'm waiting for the ban on cutlery to make it's way through congress.
And so, what I'm wondering here is IF with all this "freedom" with which we Americans supposedly pride ourselves...well, IF maybe with all this "freedom" IF we ALSO often lose sight of the idea of "personal restraint and responsibility" in our actions and/or words, as compared to other places in this world?
(...there's ya somethin' to contemplate, huh?!) 
If a person were to understand true "Freedom" he would know that it is the ultimate of giving resonsibility. Or in other words to have true freedom one also must undertake the heavy burden of responsibility it comes with. For example: We have the freedom to have guns, and the responsibility to know that if you shot someone or someones property even by accident you are punishable by law.
We also have the freedom to come and go as we please, however if you dont go to work as it were you can lose your job.
Now In speech I do agree that we have lost our balance and say things that should not be said and hide behind the "Freedom of Speech" , Thus we get away with crued and unruley speech. So how do you regulate such a thing with out the use of Government tyranny. It use to be regulated by the person who was offended by the speech in that he would knock your block off for ya, and what was concidered to be proper. In that if you spoke in an improper manner you were ostrasized from the community. That however has become a relic of times long since past.
I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago.

Keith its up to you if you want to engage in intellectual dishonesty. Please try not to impose it on others.

Alright, I see I really did offend you guys from Canada (still capitalized as is proper). I was only joking and didn't mean to be offensive. I was realy just trying to get a rise out of ya Keith. Sorry to have caused you so much anguish.

Huh. Must've missed that. Probably because nobody made a big stink out of it. Which is probably a good thing. And really, that word isn't in the censor filter because it doesn't get thrown around, neither does the shorter version, even amongst the British smokers.  I know it still gets used "in real life" but it seems pretty dated to me as curses go. Of course, I'm not one so how would I know?

I hate rap/rappers too..but lemme axe you dis...shoultent dey get to talk dat jive? Then there's Axehole Rose..a definite disonant and offensive noise...but hey, that little maggot is a millionaire. Sheeeeeee...t!!!  Who are you (who who who who?) Ahhh who the "heck" are you? not quite the same eh?

Come to think of it you don't hear it much anymore. I heard a gay comedian say once several months ago. I think other than here that was teh last time.
That song is old.

Oh political correctness.....I'm gonna be in a world of faecal matter when I hop across the pond.  Although I must admit things are not much better over in the UK. It does remind me of years ago at a military event in Holland when I was sat having a beer with some GI's and asking "do you have a spare fag"? The look was priceless from across the table. It was then I had to quickly say "cigarette, I mean a cigarette!" I think one of them may have winked at me though.
Before the war on terror, if I saw an unattended package I used to think "I'll be having that!"
