Oh! God! Please give me strength. Are people really saying that the blind are the only segment of society that uses raw language? my grandfather was a construction worker, and not blind, and often used language that would make one blush. This reminds me of gatherings of adult blind people where alcohol was not served for fear of the poor blind people getting drunk, and doing, God knows what.

However I am compelled to comment on this. Let's face it folks the other 75% unemployment rate in the United States. Bad language scares potential employers period so that is not mistaken that there is no possibility of misinterpretation as the list moderator has said we don't know who's reading this. Let me also tell you that lists like this are archived in many different places. When you go to look for employment employers look at this list if there's bad language you can cost people jobs and that only 30% of blind Americans working in this country I implore you to please do not use inappropriate and nonprofessional language. Because it will cost somebody a job and I don't think that the participants and listless want to be having somebody on SSI SSP I and other government support programs for the rest of their lives simply because somebody doesn't know how to treat people with common respect and refrain from inappropriate language. In short I agree with the moderator, let's knock it off. To say that this thread disturbs me in many different ways, would be an understatement. Let's move on. I'm not a moderator, but if we're interested in all getting out there, and getting meaningful positions of employment for those of us were not working, using the target language is imperative. Thank you very much for reading this. PS, I am using dictation software. As my tagline says some words they actually come out and appropriately. However I think that you can get the inference of what I am saying. I will not comment any further on this subject.

Even though I think the FCC is a bunch of stufed suits that seems like a fairly reasonable template and anyone who objects to content that fits with in that template is an old fuddy duddy of the highest order. > > Heh > > Here's a brilliant idea with a lot of historical backing. Instead of silencing someone which is a very common practice in the blind community lists especially why not use that delete key that's located in the upper right of your keyboard? Nobody loses in that situation. You don't get your pretty little sensibilities hurt and nobody loses their right to express themselves.
