Topic: The F-word & Joe Scarborough | |
---|---|
So, the SCOTUS is hearing an obscenity case and as per usual the folks at FOX are feigning outrage, stomping their feet and billing it as another part of the culture wars.
Funny to hear the false outrage from a guy who used the f-word on broadcast t.v. himself. Joe Scarborough, October 2003: "[Have we] gone this far backward that somebody could say the "F" word on TV and get the federal government's approval?" Joe Scarborough, on live TV, November 2008: "F*ck you" video http://www.salon.com/opinion/greenwald/2008/11/10/scarborough/print.html |

Scarborough isn't affiliated with FOX news as far as I know. He's on MSNBC in the mornings.
But FOX News probably is phony outraged about something. |

I saved the copy of the local newspaper when it ran an article about a parody poster of GW Bush where he says "F**K the French"
I was shocked that they printed it. They apologised 2 days later. |

The other is much more noticeable. but did we not cover this with the good educated intelligent man thingy would it be such a big deal if it was not made a big deal of after all what makes that word so noticeable (the big deal??) do i like that language not particularly but would it not be better to teach that you should not use certain words till you grow up and even then it is considered rude after all does the child know the meaning of the word and maybe if the issue is handled in such a way maybe the shock factor would dissipate and the use would actually decrease just a thought but hey what do i know |

I read on a parenting advice site that the average 3-4 year old girl KNOWS at least 23 curse words/phrases. The average 3-4 year old boy KNOWS at least 17, and these are learned from sources OUTSIDE the home.
No matter what is put on the television, if your child goes to school, playgroups, etc, they are bound to pick them up, and at a very young age. Tina |

I don't want it heard from the television!! i do not want your child to hear it neither but the point is if it wasn't a big deal then it probably would not happen and we know they here it when they are in public anyway so remove the shock factor and it would not be so shocking |
