Cuss-Free Week ... because we have nothing better to do

[hiddenmuse]

in California. Never mind that we're in a deficit, that the San Francisco transit system (MUNI) is wanting to raise fares and cut service - again, two months after having already done this.

Nope, apparently making the first week of March a statewide "Cuss-Free Week" is more important. Really. CA Lawmakers - Cut the foul language, please

The high school student that came up with the whole idea of a "No Cussing Club" kind of amuses me with his logic - he sees a link between foul-mouthed incivility and other forms of problem behavior, such as drug use and bullying.

Well, alrighty then... I'm still going to spend the week swearing. Just like the one year in college when I gave up Lent for Punk!

if no one else is using them that week does that mean there'll be more for us?

I hope so! I think I ran through my week's allotment after this afternoon, when I found out that one of my clients has been uninsured for two months!! :-(

It's times like this I wish I still had my Eddie Izzard "Oh for fuck's sake" icon.

The kid's website makes my eyes bleed, as well.

Plus he went on fucking LENO with this gobshite, so that's the ball game, kid. Get the fuck out, you're done.

I will gleefully swear a blue streak just to spite you, and there's not a goddamned thing you can do about it.

And for the record, incivility and bullying overlap only slightly on the Venn Diagram of boorish behavior. Telling other people what to do because you know best, however, overlaps quite broadly in both arenas.

I haven't looked at the website (and of course he has a website ... is it bad that I want to see someone hack that site, and cover it with obscenities and porn?), but I'm sure that it's probably GeoCities bad.

And you're right - bullying people into being civil, makes no sense whatsoever and totally defeats the purpose.

p.s. - you may not have the "Oh for fuck's sake" icon, but I love the icon you used! :)

icon: found, re-uploaded, and used gleefully above.

and, regarding the website, not using anti-aliasing makes the baby Jeebus cry.

Lol what the f...ham sandwich.

I know! I'm totally going to swear up a storm next week - just because. :-)
