Anyone else catch NY Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand dropping F-Bombs???

[SUPERPOKES]

And many Dems want this person to run for President in 2020??? Holy cow!

And, btw, the F-Bombs were not slips of the tongue and, yes, she dropped more than one.

Don't see the main stream media jumping on this.

Sorry, but F-Bombs is one of my biggest pet peeves (if you can call it that) lately. The students at the HS where I teach use them as a common descriptor and then look at me as if I'm from outer space if I get on to them about it. I guess it's not surprising, considering most movies drop about 100 a showing and TV shows the non-major networks use it, but bleep out the "UCK."

And they have to drop F-Bombs -- in public discussions -- to do that???

Our society is becoming "numbed" (pun intended) on both marijuana use and using the f-word (and, for that matter, gun violence). If Hollywood and music (and video games) use it like it's no big deal, then eventually the general public will do so.

Hard to believe that people were shocked when Clark Gable said "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn." We've come a long way as a society. Unfortunately, in the wrong direction in many ways.

Your, and their, thought process...is stupid.

Who the f*ck is that directed to? Oh, now I see; it's missing post #3.

Weird. I don't remember Hillary cussing in public.

The f word is like women's bare breasts. They are special and are way more exciting when only broken out on special occasions to ensure their effectiveness.

Just curious but why do you care if someone uses marijuana?

That's why I have advocated for Topless Tuesday for years...but, only for good looking girls.

Two reasons: 1) I saw it lead to ruin my sister's life; 2) I see stoned students on a daily basis who come in to class and couldn't care less about their education because all they care about is getting high.

Legitimate concerns of course, but alcohol is pretty (i say more) destructive but you don't see all the political opposition to it.

You could apply both of those to alcohol imo.

 

[SUPERPOKES]

That's the typical response of a lot of people who favor drug legalization: "Alcohol is worse!" Unfortunately, history has shown that we can't put that genie back in the bottle. So, since alcohol has led to so many destroyed lives, let's legalize weed, too! Brilliant!

Wrong way of looking at it.

Please, tell me how I should look at it.

 

[ThorOdinson13]

It's illegal right now in Texas. Yet, you have kids showing up high. You think legalization or decriminalization will make it that much worse?

You think it's better for the kids to be criminalized for getting high on Mexican ditch weed?

I'm completely with you on the f-bombs. I'm fascinating by how many millennials use them at work as if it's completely acceptable. Definitely a departure from working in an entirely Japanese workplace. What happened to professionalism and taking some pride in how you come across to people?

so yesterday in crescent after watching the fifth ball four instead of strike three and me saying nothing and doing nothing but instructing and encouraging my kids i get a field ump come over in between innings and ask me why i threw my hat.

mind you it went two feet to the bench behind me and nothing verbal was said but this guy after spending the whole game talking to the crescent coach at first base want to come play the heavy in front of my kids and my dugout.

i ask the guy why he is pointing his finger at me and ask him to stop as the finger pointing tells me all i need to know about who is the aggressor and who's conduct is inappropriate in this situation.

that just pissed him off so he runs me.
then he knows he screwed up so if i shake his hand he's gonna let me back in the game blah blah blah.

thanks for letting me vent
i'm really worn out

happy father's day to you all

Very lady like. Polished. Poised.

I once told my kids that I may not have the cleanest mouth in the world, but I don't put it on CDs, in movies or use it in public.
