There is no decorum anymore. The Internet’s destroyed it. Back when Hollywood ruled the screens, there were lots of censors in full battle mode, ready to pounce on the hint of a nipple or anyone daring to say “Damn”. Clark Gable was a real ground-breaker when he said “Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn” in Gone With The Wind.
Today our Presidents say Fuck. I keep waiting for the first one to say “Motherfucker”, it’s coming, sooner or later. It’s like our highest echelon leaders are trying to reach the commonest of the Common Man, they keep pushing the acceptable limits, “Fuck, fuckers, fuck them, sons of bitches, assholes.” It’s like listening to a George Carlin rant, only it’s President Trump and most of the newscasters, women included, of course. They might even be leading the way.
I detest it. I use profanity when I feel like it in this blog, but I’m not a national leader, a respected person that we should all have a right to look up to. I hate hearing any elected person use coarse language, it doesn’t just demean them, it demeans our whole society, it lowers us to the gutter.
I know, I’m being a hypocrite here, I should never used profanity in public, but you know, THAT’S WHY I DON’T. This blog is open to the public, anyone can read it, but only two people do that I know of and neither one is offended by curse words. This is more of a diary than anything else, it’s where I express my offensive feelings in an inoffensive way. I don’t swear in public and I wish everyone else would stop doing it. Wish me luck?
