I agree with Scott and disagree with most of yous. Amerikuns are 'ugly' and
this is a prime example of it in our culture. Anyone can stoop to
vulgarity. It requires maturity and sobriety to lead as a better should. I
love the funny bumper stickers as much as anyone but crass, body language
and the like are object lessons I teach me children with while sitting at
stop lamps.
I can tell where this thread is going. hehehe Another Friday, another
lowest common denom issue in the works. We all state our views and a couple
lose their self control and Jim shuts it down. BTDT
