There was a time when you couldn’t say “damn” on television. But long before that, people talked about cocks and fucking. They were low class people. They were common people. Vulgarities were not uttered in polite society. The high born did not use profanities.

JUST WHEN THE FUCK DID WE ALL BECOME SO GODDAMN SPECIAL?

We are all common people now. It’s about time we, as a society, started talking like it.

So why do I keep reading and posting on forums full of stupid people? I don’t mean the kind of simple stupidity like the opposite of smart. I don’t even mean the kind of stupidity demonstrated by reelecting Bush on the basis of family values. I mean the kind of stupidity where the image on the left isn’t art simply because it was created by a 2 year old, but the one on the right is simply because it was created by Jackson Pollock.

They’re both art. The only difference is that Jackson Pollock had to spend many years learning how to paint like a 2 year old.
