Re: [MOPO] HIGHLY OFFENSIVE: Seriously?
I have just come in on this thread...I think maybe some wrong ends of stick has been taken however I do find such language offensive especially that this is an open forum and women and younger people can read this. Kirby I feel your quote was meant as a joke and yes the language was racy...but the C word is highly offensive...couldn't you have expletive deleted the word? A little restraint maybe...this is closing the stable door after the horse has bolted but it is not just Diana...there are other girls on this forum that probably are by no means prudes and enjoy a joke and a laugh but still find that word offensive even reading it. Most of us are adults here, most of us know each other on this forum and most of us use gamey language especially over a beer putting the world to rights, but reading such language can be misconstrued. Even if it is a reprint of a quote...and by the way Billy Connolly paraphrased the quote on The Secret Policeman's Second Ball way back in the 1980's and it was much funnier...maybe it takes a comedy genius to actually make the C word funny...by the way in my humble opinion that was the only time the use of that word was funny. I am by no means a prude and believe me many drivers I encounter when on the streets of London do get called that word when I am on my own, but I have to say within the earshot of people I respect I don't like to use it and I don't like to hear it. I also feel it is not needed on a movie...Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels seems to have started the trend, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang with Val Kilmer saying it to emphasise a point - In my humble opinion I think it degrades a movie and should put a R rating on a film. Please don't think I am beating a moral drum, I simply feel that a public forum is not the place to put such racy language...put a few @*#$ instead of the word itself...it's a lot less offensive. -Original Message- From: Richard Halegua Posters + Comic Art sa...@comic-art.com To: MoPo-L MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Sent: Sun, 10 Jun 2012 7:21 Subject: Re: [MOPO] HIGHLY OFFENSIVE: Seriously? what planet are you living on, out of curiosity??

Re: [MOPO] HIGHLY OFFENSIVE: Seriously? - slightly off topic
Interesting points...but I would advocate that the word Negro is a very noble word and the bastardisation is not. However to take this further Wing Commander Guy Gibson called his dog Nigger, this is an historic fact, if you watch the film The Dam Busters they have not shied away from it...the promised remake though will have the dogs name dropped...I agree the word is offensive in todays society but if a film is to be historic then keep to the history...the Tukagee Airmen were often called this by their officers and each other...Dam Busters and Tuskagee airmen were both in the same war...so if history is concerned lets keep it that way and not offend those that gave their lives...there are still a few Dam Busters alive and the death of Gibson's dog was an important historiv event the day before the raid. -Original Message- From: allen day aday_5...@yahoo.com To: MoPo-L MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Sent: Sun, 10 Jun 2012 11:32 Subject: Re: [MOPO] HIGHLY OFFENSIVE: Seriously?

Re: [MOPO] HIGHLY OFFENSIVE: Seriously? - slightly off topic
The C-word has quite a long and sometimes controversial history in the English language...a direct reference to it appears in The Miller's Tale, a story in Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, written in the 14th century. (I remember being amazed by that reference way back when we studied Chaucer in high school. Just wondering...is Chaucer a part of any high school curriculum today? He's probably been replaced by Nicholas Sparks or Diary of a Wimpy Kid...) Rick In a message dated 6/10/2012 3:41:59 A.M.

I have found that women are deeply offended when a man uses the C word but are less so when they hurl the D word at a man and both genders use the other F word without a second thought. The point is if you're offended by wretched words, then you should be offended by all of them, not just the ones that insult your own being. That said, I don't think it's appropriate to be using this kind of language in a public forum, especially when children may have access. It was however a welcome deversion from constant Bruce vs. Heritage bickering that has been jamming the board of late. Enough already.

Unforunately, Rick, I think you're assessment of English literature as it is currently taught in the US high schools is correct. Most high schoolers haven't even heard of Charles Dickens and they no longer teach cursive handwriting in grammar schools.
