(18,186 posts)whom I love dearly, but who regularly trolls the grandkids' "myface" accounts
to search out and excoriate any and all "filthy language."
I'm in the middle generation, my head bobbing left and right like someone
watching a tennis match as the older and younger generations
bat verbally at each other over this issue.
In the end, my outrage over the things that people do to each other far, far, FAR outweighs my
outrage at mere words that others may use to express themselves.
What I'm saying is: I wish more older people would be more outraged about what I see as
tragedies and crimes all around.
When all you can focus on are the symbols of young
people's rage and anger and frustration - a.k.a. "dirty words" -
I believe it makes you useless to the cause of change.
YMMV
