And you're not a sport, either. So, I was wrong about that - as you were wrong
in assuming that I meant that you were MY sport. Further, I barely care what
you do and do not appreciate about the use of one of the most useful words in
the American lexicon.

Perhaps one of the most interesting words in the English language today, is the
word fuck. Out of all the English words that begin with the letter 'f' ...fuck
is the only word referred to as 'the f word... It's the one magical word. Just
by its sound can describe pain, pleasure, hate and love. Fuck, as most words in
the English language is derived from German ...the word fuieken, which means to
strike.

In English, fuck falls into many grammatical categories:

As a transitive verb for instance ...John fucked Shirley.
As an intransitive verb...Shirley fucks.

Its meaning is not always sexual, it can be used as...

An adjective such as ...John's doing all the fucking work.
As part of an adverb ...Shirley talks too fucking much.
As an adverb enhancing an adjective ...Shirley is fucking beautiful.
As a noun ...I don't give a fuck.
As part of a word ...absofuckinglutely -or- infuckingcredible.
And as almost every word in a sentence ...Fuck the fucking fuckers.

As you must realize, there aren't too many words with the versatility of
fuck...such as these examples describing situations such as:

Fraud ...I got fucked at the used car lot.
Dismay ...ahhh fuck it.
Trouble ...I guess I'm really fucked now.
Aggression ...Don't fuck with me buddy.
Difficulty ...I don't understand this fucking question.
Inquiry ...Who the fuck was that?
Dissatisfaction ...I don't like what the fuck is going on here.
Incompetence ...He's a fuck-off.
Dismissal ...Why don't you go outside and play hide and go fuck yourself...

I'm sure you can think of many more examples.

With all these multi-purpose applications, how can anyone be offended when you
use the word. We say use this unique, flexible word more often in your daily
speech.

It will identify the quality of your character immediately.
Say it loudly and proudly... FUCK YOU!

 DD> You, like many, are stuck into the narrow two party political view of

 EH> You, like some, think that somehow a viable third party will
 EH> miraculously form out of thin air.

Who was talking about a third party? Toss the bastard out within their own
party. Like the antediluvian wing of the Utah Elephants did to sitting Senator
Bob Bennett. 
 
 DD> I merely meant that the electorate should rise up and throw the bums out.

 EH> I agree, but I'm also a realist and understand that there is no viable
 EH> third party to choose from.

Which fits into your narrow view of politics. Sort of like the phrase from that
Middle Eastern religion "As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall 
be." You're the one ringing in third parties. Not that it's impossible to get a
"third" party going. Or even a fourth. Difficult, but, not impossible.

 DD> business of the people who sent them there instead of spending all their

 EH> Until things change, all you'll get is a new set of career congress

 EH>> I'm a supporter of term limits for all elected offices. That would get
 EH>> rid of these career congress critters who gain wealth off the backs of
 EH>> the people.

 DD> I posted just such a proposal in these precincts not long ago. Where
 DD> were you?

 EH> I did see it. I have been a supporter of term limits for a very long
 EH> time.

 EH>> I also support a 60% reduction in pay for Congress and the

 EH>> less a year, so should our elected representatives. Plus, government
 EH>> bureaucrats should be paid the same as the private sector pays and they

 DD> I don't support pay reductions for the president - especially if you

 DD> Put that way the Prez would get an immediate and obscenely large pay raise

 DD> Air Force One and the huge security apparatus).

 EH> GS contributed over $1million to candidate Obama in 2008.

What does your talking point have to do with the subject at hand. You begin to
sound like Sarah "I Quit" Palin. I could have cited P. A. Woertz
at ADM (2009
compensation $15,466,064) or C. Robert Henrikson at Metlife (2009 compensation
$11,600,338). Probably should have as that would not give you an opportunity
for an unrelated talking point interjection.
