[Trash-talk] [NGR] swear words and parents..........was: live bandsand manners

[xshirleyxvixenx *~*]

we kinda have an allowed swear word and we did even when i was younger.. 
"crap" seemed to be acceptable in our family. it was fine. we all said it. 
"shut up" however was taking it too far! :P

but its not even swearing - its the whole idea of being polite. maybe im 
suggesting subserviance. but still - respect thou elders and stuff. not that 
im saying i have to be super polite to every person older than me.

anyways
