Have We Sunk to a "New" low?

 

HELLO nice people,

 I am up and on the puter at 5:00 in the morning.  I am an early riser on Saturday.  I guess when you get up early during the week, its hard to break the habit.  You know those headline stories that are on AOL desktop when you sign on.......I usually skim over them and click on something that looks interesting.  Now I am no saint.  I think "prude"  is the word that should go there but that seems so overused.  And I have, in my 63 years, said some of the minor 4-letter words that are out there in the english language.  BUT, and here's the big BUT....have we come to the point in time in this country that such rough talk is commomplace on public reading material.

Here's my gripe:   On this mornings AOL headline, "Driving Laws We Want."  here are some lines that I picked out:

1.Douche-bag moves, whether by intent or ignorance, shouldn't spoil driving for the rest of us.

2. You can't polish a turd

3.start with the restriction of belching and farting in public.

4.her adventures in skankdom

5.Calvin pissing on something is funny, we just pity you.

6.WTF!?

Hmmmmmm, Am I being too picky or is this world just sinking so low that we will never pull ourselves out?

  1. The English Language is dead, I find that I can hardly talk to anyone these days simply because I don't know what they're saying...lol

  2. I'm with your Prude...lol.  I can remember when you didn't see toilet paper ads on TV and now Viagra ads are almost pornographic...not to mention bears pooping in the woods with their Charmin hanging on a tree.  Bad words are so common place anymore, in print and on the screen.  Makes me extremely angry that we have gotten to this point.  OK...you put the soapbox out there and I got on it.  LOL
    Hugs, Joyce
