What is with all of these people and all of these people?  They get their panties in a knot because of words that someone deemed in foul, crude, crass, bad, profane.  I’m afraid I’m with Carlin on this one.

It’s not the content, it’s the context.  Which I will prove very simply:

Example 1 includes no ‘profanity’:

I hope your family dies of cancer on christmas, and in their wills, they’ve donated everything to charity.  You can’t afford to bury them because you’ll lose your job the same day, and you’ll have to live out of your minivan with the decaying corpses of your loved ones.

Obviously Example 1 is malicious.  But it doesn’t include any bad word, so it should be G-rated, and is safe for all.  Shoot, it even says love!

Example 2:

Holy shit! Did you see that Ferrari?  It was totally bitchin’  I rode in one of those one and nearly pissed myself.

So, there’s an R-rated comment, not able to be broadcast on television.. Yet who’s feelings were hurt?  Those of a conservative soccer mom that thinks her smutty novels and lifetime romance movies don’t have a negative effect on her child’s development.  You’re living in a dream world baby.

You want to complain about content?  Feel free, but understand that the world exists, your children are going to learn about the Holocaust in history class, and it isn’t knowledge that is destructive, but rather a lack of discipline, common sense, or empathy.  Our society obviously breeds murderers and rapists, but they’re not a result of television or books or video games.  No, we have only ourselves to blame.  That’s right mom and dad, they’re home schooled.

Ask anyone that knows me and they’ll say that I’m highly adaptable. If I don’t initially know how to complete a task, I will by the end. Unless it’s impossible, in which case, I’ll find a solution via other means. There are no problems, only situations, challenges, opportunities. But the practicality of a resolution to a situation is my biggest obstacle. Not the What/Where/When/How, but the Why. I won’t adapt to a bad solution when something else better exists. If I don’t see the point, then there must not be one. Don’t misunderstand me; even if I can’t relate to a situation, I’ll attempt to empathize with it. But if I’m asked to answer a question that’s already been answered, I’m going to quote it and move on. Not for a lack of motivation, but because that work has been done. Sure sometimes things can be done better, and I’m all for advancement, but don’t ask me to hack something together, when a better solution already exists.
