God Damned Foul Mouthed Teenagers Make Me Furious!
The problem with young people today is that they curse too much.
When I was a boy we only had one swear word and I had to share that with my brothers and sisters. “Damn” was the word and when we dared to speak it aloud it was in hushed tones for fear of parental vengeance.
But these young people today, every third word out of their mouths is an F-bomb, an A-hole or a combination of profanity so vile they make the Nixon tapes sound like Sunday School sermons.
In my day a “ho” was a farming implement, not something you called your mother when she refused to buy you a $600 pair of running shoes. A person said “shit” when his house was burning to the ground, not when asked what he learned at school today.
If I had ever used blue language in the presence of my old dad he would have cut my tongue out with a letter opener and beaten me senseless with the bloody stump.
But today? The average sentence spoken by a young person is 70 per cent profanity, 20 per cent banality, 10 per cent inanity and 100 per cent pure and utter vulgar stupidity. If they insist on swearing like sailors the least they could do is have something of consequence to say and not just use offensive filth to cover up for their lack of vocabulary and woeful ignorance.
It’s a disgraceful commentary on the state of the nation. If the only way our young people can articulate their thoughts is through a polluted volley of expletives maybe it’s time to stop encouraging them to “express themselves,” get back to basics and start beating them over the head with dictionaries, thesauruses and the Holy Bible.
They curse too much. That’s the problem with young people today.
