Ah, got it, sometimes hard to hear the tone in the text. Now that MC hammer was unmistakable funny.Ya think?
It was sarcasm based upon the irony that the thread got locked right after her post of the firefighters when there was so much more posted previously. Yes, I understand that it was mere coincidence but that to me is what made it funny. In comedy timing is everything as they say.
I guess my sense of humor is different than most folks.
This is why I have to put some kind of emoji following my sarcasm, because even when it's obvious humor, people tend to create backlash over it. Another reason why I'm very careful what I write on this board.
. Still it was misunderstood.
btw....those weren't fireman.
These days you hear and see much much worse at restaurants, grocery stores, shopping ......well just about anywhere in public. It amazes me how rude and uncivilized young people are these days. The language they use in public just sets me off. My children don't need to hear it and I don't plan on explaining to our two year old what an f word is or what douche means!
You better check your tone young lady! Talking like that will bring out the ban hammer of social justice and motivational awareness!
K....duly noted.
I agree, middle school aged kids who talk like sailors and act like the world owes them something, it's appalling to say the least. Where are the parents to teach respect these days? Props to the ones who instill good behavior in their kids, it is well recognized.
The censor filter was discussed by the MC at the time we went to the new software. The consensus was that it remains. Just use the real word and let the filter do its work. People go to a lot of work to try and bypass it. Some examples we will let go because it's impossible to catch all instances and be fair about it, the more egregious examples, no, especially if they are reported. I can't imagine anyone on the MC warning someone about the use of @ss, especially when ass is not filtered.
They follow the examples they see. When parents use terrible language and then say, "don't cuss," what do you think the kids really learn?
My wife and I try real hard to have our children act the way we were taught growing up. We have received comments quite a few times when we have gone out to eat or to a store or to peoples homes about how well our children behaved and how polite they were. It really makes you feel good when it is noticed. There are many acquaintances we have that will never get an invite from us to come over for dinner or out to eat because of their children. It is quite an embarrassment to be around children like that when the parents sit and do nothing about it other than the lame " I'm only going to count to forty two.......forty three forty four.......well that is it, no pie with your cake when we get home"
Your son probably still swears, just not in your presence.
