Town bans swear words

[Mr Evilwrench]

They'll pick at you, and pick at you, and you take it. This gives them false confidence. They'll keep picking until they get swatted, and wonder why it happened, when they'd deserved it long before.

The first admendment does not protect someone to allow them to use vulgar language.

The courts would disagree with you.

Vulgar is a matter of opinion.

So many of us are such adamant 2A supporters, we feel the second amendment is absolute and protects our right to full autos and "assault rifles" and pretty much any weaponry that we can conjure up even though the wording is admittedly easy to misinterpret.

But even though we want our guns protected, we most certainly don't think any of the other amendments are nearly as broad as to protect vulgarity or gays or athiests.... or anything else that scares us.

They can not stop free speech even if they dont like what is said. I see a law suit in that towns furture.

When I moved from an inner city school to a leafy suburban school circa 1956, I was labelled a curser by the admin for the juicy language I grew up up with. I've been fightin the mahn ever since...
It colored my world. Oh WAAHHHHHH!
When I moved to IN 30 yrs ago, same shocking thing.
I guess I'm just F**ked.

Looks like Adam Kokesh and friends had a good time in the park. No tickets were given out for the swearing that went on.

[Mark 1911]

In honor of Middleboro, MA:

Eight-year old Billy sits his 6 year old little brother Tommy down for a man-to-man chat. “Tommy, you and I aren’t little babies anymore, I think it’s high time you and I started swearing like grown-ups do”. “Are you sure Billy?” replies the younger brother, “I don’t think Mom would like that very much”. “Don’t worry about that Tommy, I’ve seen this done a million times, just watch how a pro does it and learn”, replied Billy.

Their mom called them down to the breakfast table and asked the older brother, “What do you want for breakfast Billy?” “Oh hell Mom, I don’t know, give me a bowl of those damn Cheerios over there.” Suddenly little Billy found himself spinning a summersault backwards across the kitchen as Momma was after him and stinging his tail end like an angry swarm of bees. “You get your little butt up to your room right now young man”, swatting his rear with every step, “and don’t come back down here until I tell you to”. Little Billy disappeared into his room with tears streaming down both cheeks, attitude adjusted, intentions rectified.

Mom walked back into the kitchen with arms crossed, glaring at the little brother still seated, still aghast, in total awe over what had just transpired. “And YOU young man, what do YOU want for breakfast”. “Well gee Mom, I don’t know, but you can bet your sweet ass it ain’t Cheerios!”

Lets all agree that there is a time and place to use profanity. Being a master at the use of profanity I am fully aware of these times and places. Many have no filter on there mouths. Free speech is one thing but foul speech is yet something different.
It gets my hair up when folks use questionable language around my 5 yr. old gran-daughter.

The first admendment does not protect someone to allow them to use vulgar language.

Why would anyone think that an intelligent person would intentionally limit their own vocabulary?
