Swearing To Be Allowed In British School

Good grief...

Daily Mail - A secondary school is to allow pupils to swear at teachers - as long as they don't do so more than five times in a lesson. A running tally of how many times the f-word has been used will be kept on the board. If a class goes over the limit, they will be 'spoken' to at the end of the lesson.


This is a policy that will, of course, prepare these students for the "real world." Where cussing at your boss or co-workers will likely not be tolerated at all.

A 7 year old girl came home from school to find a crew building a house on a neighboring lot. She hung around and the crew gave her little jobs picking up nails and scrap wood. At the end of the week they gave her a couple of dollars in an envelope.

The girl and her mother went to the bank and put half the money in a savings account for the girl. The teller said how great it was that the little girl had a job and was saving money. She asked if the girl would be working again this week?

The girl replied,
“ Yeah, if the shitbrains at Home Depot get their asses in gear and deliver the fuckin wallboard.”

I wrote this a while ago in at a forum at the infidel guy website

I have long believed that profane language is quickly becoming our generation’s Newspeak, the only difference being that we have chosen it by our own volition.

More and more of our children are using curse words at younger and younger ages. What I believe is that, in a very short period of time, we will be simply unable to formulate our thoughts into “real” words or arguments. Of course, after that, it’s only a short time before we are unable to formulate thoughts, period. Just as there was no word for “Freedom” in Newspeak, so will there be no word for “tyranny” in profane-speak.

Essentially, when the worst thing we can say about a particular politician is that he’s a “fucking asshole” or a “pussy”, what have we really said? The statement is vapid; it makes no argument. How is it different from saying he is “double-plus ungood”? Ditto for when you call your cheating girlfriend a “bitch”. How is this addressing the problem of infidelity or deception?

I swear. I hold right back when my children are around, if I swear in front of them, I smack my arm and tell myself off. My children do not swear.However there seems to be an increase. The small boy who lives next door to us, he is about 4, swears all the time. I have had to laugh to myself when I hear the mother doing her “ caring parent” routine.
child: oh fuck off mum
mum: don’t fucking swear!
child: no you cunt
mum: thats why no one fucking likes you cos you always fucking swear! fuck off upstairs and dont swear again ya little bastard.
Now, I swear, this was an actual conversation which goes to show the borderline mentality of these people.
Sometimes, as an adult, the word fuck works. It has become an expression and no is no longer relevant as a discription. I love words and it is a great feeling to tie some poor sod up in knots durin an arguement when all they can reply is “ fuck off..bollocks” etc.
