   I lived in Alaska for 32 years. By every measure up there for judging someone and their charecter, Levi Johnston is a complete clown.

   You know, Larry, that I’m a gentleman, you know.

   He meant to say….
   “Ya know, Larry, I’m a complete idiot.”

   Our acceptance and participation in vulgarity is what gives permission to all of the vulgar to be vulgar.

   Agree 100%

   Wonder if he (Todd) would like someone to hold Levi still? Where can I go to sign up?

   But with equality and all, many women are just as vulgar. Does vulgarity really improve life and society?

   It depends on your definition of “improve”. For some, especially the more unrefined members of society, it is a behavior that has been reinforced and rewarded throughout their lives by their families, communities and general exposure. They have been given no reason to hold themselves to a higher standard and they seek out those who share or encourage such behavior. That’s not to say the vulgarity can’t be controlled, it’s just that they have no reason to control it.

   I’ll readily admit that I believe there are beneficial uses for vulgarity, especially in high stress occupations (e.g. military, law enforcement, etc.), but such behavior is situational and limited in scope based on the organizational culture, professional requirements and your personal predilections. The trick is knowing how to be tactful when necessary and some people just can’t control themselves.

   I don’t think vulgarity on a blog like this is entirely problematic as long as it is within the limits established by the site owner, but the anonymous nature of internet communication lends itself to levels of vulgarity that probably aren’t exhibited in many real world interactions.

   Does it lead to more respect or does is further the decay?

   It depends on who you are trying to gain respect from. Some don’t consider increased vulgarity a sign of decay. It’s more like a sign of enlightenment or freedom from an oppressive standard. Standards are relative, obviously.

   I’m of the opinion that although I can see the limited benefits of vulgarity, its increased prevalence in our society furthers decay. Then again, my background is such that unrestrained vulgarity was never something that was reinforced or rewarded.

   Regarding Larry and Levi, their collective behavior gets rewarded so they have no reason to fix themselves.

   Just something to ponder.

   Roger that.

   I never lied about your position, not that you ever had one that was solution oriented anyway.

   Oh? It’s highly UNSAT to prevaricate to the extent that you do.

    Did anyone here see the speech Sarah Palin gave to the Right to Life Dinner in Indiana? Funny how that isn’t being talked about, but this kid is. The speech was damn good. There was news made, too.

    Micheal Steele introduced Palin with a very strong endorsement, and Sarah endorsed him back, very strongly. I think Mr. Steele just repaired his image among many, many grassroots Republicans.

    Not that anyone would give a crap about actual news or anything………

    I am very enthusiastic about this.

    And after the mess from King is cleaned up, maybe Levi ought to have a little of the same medicine.

    wouldn’t you love to have a media who would delve into the backgrounds of more of our politicians. how many kids of pols are having abortions. we have seen the daughter of our vp snorting coke. if the media weren’t so in the tank for democrats, they might just report biden’s daughter snorting coke at a party on tape. funny how last year in september it was the “this is the worst economy in 50 years” morning noon and night. now, 5 of the dow 30 companies are penny stocks living on taxpayer money, over 600,000 people are filing unemployment each week, and cnbc’s resident obama butt boy steve liessman is saying the problems are over. what is that jerk smoking? just be fair, bias is ok, but when sarah does a poor interview, she’s just dumb and incompetent. when biden lies about his achievements and accomplishments, well that’s just good old smart likeable joe. joe’s in the news today for another aw schucks. stand up and take a bow joe, for the dozens of serial plagerers writing for the msm on the liberal side.
