Polls are really fucking odd.
According to a new AP/Ipsos poll on profanity, 78% of respondents say they swear to one degree or another. Yet 67% of respondents say it bothers them when people swear.
What kind of bullshit is that?
Then there’s the woman who says she tells swearing high schoolers that she has “a dictionary and a Roget’s Thesaurus” and doesn’t “see any of those words in there” — as if those two books are the only arbiters of language.
Oh, and the man who bitches about having to hear people swear on the cable television for which he pays more than fifty dollars a month. How about changing the God damned channel?
But then there’s this: “For those who might find the results depressing, there’s possibly a silver lining: Many of those who swear think it’s wrong nonetheless.”
It takes a real bastard to come up with a pain in the ass cop-out like that. Jesus Christ.
Cocksuckers.

Then she isn’t looking.
Fucking idiot.
