That's all well and good, but there is a cure: A good old-fashioned spanking.Why doesn't your mommie wash your filthy mouth out with soap and water? Nice people don't call another person not one but two taboo names, one a Stage I Freudian indecent name and the second, a Stage II Freudian foul name.
IOW, madam, you have zero moral authority to say that pair. That'd get you kicked out of the CDZ, and it should get you kicked out of USMB for good.
There's nothing at all decent about calling people taboo names. Bad girl.
becki....
....when I see that kind of language, the vitriolic attacks, it is just the boilerplate that we've come to expect. It is based on their view, that is the Left's view that
a) they are on a so much higher moral plane, that any ad hominem attack is justified
b) that it is so very shocking that anyone could possibly have an alternative view, that the loss of control shown by the precipitous drop in civility is understandable
c) and that the anger shown by said language is proof of how very deeply their concern runs.
Dennis Prager discusses how important emotion, as opposed to rational thought, is to the Leftist. He writes:
Because the Left relies on feelings and intentions, wisdom and the existing moral value system dont count for much. The comparison with conservatives would be the reliance on data and experience, and tradition. Recall the Left-wing baby boomer war-cry: Never trust anyone over thirty! Consider the meaning: There is nothing to be learned from anyone older than thirty hence, the old dead white men theme.
Note how this morphs into the adulation of youth. Therein lies the choice: youth, or wisdom. And the result is what our universities have become, no longer the repository of knowledge, instead, support for Marxist ideas, nuclear disarmament, beliefs that America was no different from the Soviet Union, sympathetic views toward Mao, Ho Chi Minh, Castro, and support for a whole host of Left-wing memes.
Unfortunately, the Board of Education applied to the Seat of Knowledge has been trashed as useless by the NEA. Since that time, America has lost its cutting edge on the frontier of excellent academic performance on tests administered worldwide.
The NEA has made itself into a comfortable set of cud-chewers who pat themselves on the back nine times a day for cushy raises while other countries' education systems fly by them.
We can spread the grief around....there's Dr. Spock, and "It Takes a Village' Hillary, for starters.....
