A few weeks ago I was talking to a friend of mine who told me that he was feeling pressured to modify is behavior. In particular, his use of profanity was called into question. He went on to tell me that his superiors consider particular words and phrases to be offensive.
So, he was asked, and then ordered, to suppress his usage of the following words: fuck, motherfucker, cocksucker, cunt, prick, bastard, jackass, asshole, shit, damn, fuck-head, and ass-fuck, and phrases such as: shut the fuck up fuck-wit, fuck you, motherfucking ass licking jerk off, ass wipe fuck puppet, shit for brains, no good motherfucking son-of-a-bitch cocksucker.
He tried to plead his case to his superiors. My friend expressed his concern to them that without such words and phrases his intentions would be misinterpreted. He explained that he would be hard pressed to find alternative ways to express himself. The integrity of his emotions and his true feelings could not be completely or properly expressed without such words and phrases.
He refused restraint.
His superiors told him “Tough shit.” And that is why he called me. So I gave him this piece of advice, I told him “Why the fuck do you care what they fucking think? If they find what you say to be offensive tell them to fucking ignore you.”
My friend quietly contemplated my advice and then said “Fuck yeah, that’s what I’m gonna do.”
He has since lost his job, but he sure is a happy little motherfucker!
p.s. I agree repetition may be in order.

«Oldest ‹Older 2401 – 2406 of 2406mayo,
have you ever watched "the simpsons"? probably, right? there's a sound marge makes whenever she's worried about something. it's almost impossible to describe, but i'm sure if you've ever seen the show you know what i'm talking about.
well, everytime i refreshed the page today, everytime i saw your new profile info, i made that sound.
mayo: "VILE"
me: *marge sound*
you know we hang on your every word, and look for meaning in every syllable. this word is not making me happy.
sometimes...like this...i really dislike this blog situation. i want to help, but i can't. i'm handcuffed by this stupid internet thing that means i don't really know you and can't really help you and i never knew that words could be so damnably frustrating before. words were always magic doors before, but now i know they're walls, too.
yes, all this for one word.
so i have no recourse but to sit here and stare at this computer screen and wait for more words from you. and make the marge sound.
i really hope to see something more positive on your profile someday. something like...
love, luck, and lollipops! ♥
yeah. that would be a nice change.
dream sweet, mayo, be refreshed and restored in body and spirit. hope to see you here soon.
oh, mayo.
just saw the front page. you are such a dear.
be well, okay?
Thank you BC
Thank you TJ

I am glad you are here with us.
Im off

Toujours - and Mayo,
On the bright side, and this is prob. true for Mayo, too - when we have bad experiences or just feel 'vile' at times, all we have to remember is that this too shall pass. Meaning that time (and for me, sleep :) help us heal and we are revived/receptive to experience that which is beautiful in life. I would extrapolate further to say that we would not fully appreciate beauty were we not also exposed to its opposite.
Why does the adjective vile remind me of the word villain and so too, hero... maybe its the comic book association. In any case, should you read this Mayo, I know you to be no villain. You wouldn't have maintained this place this long while were you not supportive of those who gather here. Good luck and just remember to breathe.
"" here ""
...sorry for all the fat shaming comments (among other things) tried to egg ya on so you'd make that grand awaited resurrection from this tomb
Oh well not like you read this junk anyhow lol
p.s. you look good for your age...don't let it go to your head though~~~
