    I work on a boat every summer and we go through training with the coast guard once a year.  I m wondering if they will change their wording to “person overboard” as opposed to “man overboard”.  
    I also have to tell kids to “man the cannons”; should I be pc and tell them to “person the cannons”?
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......

    As a Yankees fan I can say without hesitation that one of my most hated players was Personny Ramirez.

    It almost seems like we think this whole thing is silly!  
    Another good one, FYI.  I loved Personny during his Tribe years.. and then he changed clothes, so I hated him.

    100% silly. when I think of towns in Pennsylvania that I have visited like Blueball and Intercourse I realize not everyone is so sensitive. My next trip I might head to Spread Eagle, Wisconsin.

    A couple examples came up today, one in conversation and one in reading reading, of how outrage culture can actually backfire on someone trying to support a cause.  

    The first relates to abuse of women.  There is good reason for people to be angry over the issue of abuse of women.  But when accusations single out, exaggerate or lie about minor incidences that don't really amount to abuse, people will begin to question the motives of those speaking out against the abuse.  Abuse of women is serious and should not be watered down but false accusation.  That does women a great disservice.  (See Al Franken thread).

    The more specific example that came up today was in talking with a friend about what is often referred to as "the hate truck" that used to drive through our town of Placerville.  It was a delivery sized truck with glaring signs on it's sides blasting outrage against homosexuality.   The truck was driven by a man who was blatantly homophobic and his son.  The public reaction in this town (and this is a conservative town) was very much in opposition to this kind of public display of hatred.  One of the local churches went so far as to host speakers who spoke out against the hatred.  In fact, at one point, even the son came to speak (there are some who believe the young man is gay and that is what drove the hatred of the father even further, but this is unproven).  The result of all this is that there has been an estimated 80% reduction in the number of outwardly homophobic people in this area.  Outrage culture thankfully did the opposite of what this man's crusade against homosexuality intended to do.

    I won't claim to speak for all women, but as a women, trust me - we are well-aware of this.

    I believe it, Hedo.  I know other women who are as well.  Being close to women who have suffered terrible abuse, I find it terribly sad that the issue is being sabotaged.

    The first relates to abuse of women.  There is good reason for people to be angry over the issue of abuse of women.  But when accusations single out, exaggerate or lie about minor incidences that don't really amount to abuse, people will begin to question the motives of those speaking out against the abuse.  Abuse of women is serious and should not be watered down but false accusation.  That does women a great disservice.  (See Al Franken thread).

    The more specific example that came up today was in talking with a friend about what is often referred to as "the hate truck" that used to drive through our town of Placerville.  It was a delivery sized truck with glaring signs on it's sides blasting outrage against homosexuality.   The truck was driven by a man who was blatantly homophobic and his son.  The public reaction in this town (and this is a conservative town) was very much in opposition to this kind of public display of hatred.  One of the local churches went so far as to host speakers who spoke out against the hatred.  In fact, at one point, even the son came to speak (there are some who believe the young man is gay and that is what drove the hatred of the father even further, but this is unproven).  The result of all this is that there has been an estimated 80% reduction in the number of outwardly homophobic people in this area.  Outrage culture thankfully did the opposite of what this man's crusade against homosexuality intended to do.
    I won't claim to speak for all women, but as a women, trust me - we are well-aware of this.
    I believe it, Hedo.  I know other women who are as well.  Being close to women who have suffered terrible abuse, I find it terribly sad that the issue is being sabotaged. 
    I also know women.  
    Over half the world's population, so I should hope so, lol!
    He meant in the biblical sense. 
    For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge...

    I do love that phrase, 'in the biblical sense'.  I don't know why I always think it's funny.  
    Unlawful?
    That's the origin of FUCK, allegedly.  It was a criminal term in the church for adultery (or premarital sex for that matter).  There's also a version of For Under the Consent of the King.  I don't know which one is more accurate, but either way... it's the dirty.

    Despite the wideness and proliferation of its use in many sections of society, the word fuck remains (and has been for centuries) one of the most taboo words in English. Until relatively recently it rarely appeared in print; even today, there are a number of euphemistic ways of referring to it in speech and writing, e.g. the F-word, f***, or f—k.
