This may seem a little off-topic, but this is in regard to the "cuss-o-meter"....I thought of the "seven words" sketch which caused such a hooplah back in the day (which I wasn't around yet). I strongly side with Carlin on this one. I don't think there are any words that should be banned. If you really think about it, it is sort of absurd that we should be protected from a word-knives, yes. I think the less censorship, the better. We have a right to hear things and today I think we are way too sensitive to being "offended". Christianity today has made us ultrasensitive to this. Enjoy.

George Carlin is my fucking hero.
ReplyDeleteI actually just downloaded like his complete work off of Pirate Bay and I'm in the process of listening to it right now.
As long as we're posting awesomeness, check out his rant on religion.

Clos, that's a good idea. The ability to think critically is desperately needed, no less than exposure to the actual evidence.
ReplyDeleteOh, and the balls to say things that people don't like to hear.
