I’ll have to get back to you later, as I have to go piss now, with a flush after that, followed by thorough washing of my hands, as I’ll be cooking next. It’s going to take a while, as we’re baking potatoes, and they’re rather large. Assuming nothing good is on TV, and that I find nothing better to do, I might come back and respond later. Or not. Either way, I’ll get back to you when I’m done doing whatever various things I have planned that no one actually gives a fuck about.

It was mighty good of you to prove Starving Artist’s point for him so vividly.

Unlike Starving Artist’s last line, which was a polite and civil way to let others know that he intended to return to the thread, your parody of his line was vulgar, crass, had TMI and did not impart any more information. It wasn’t even the best snark vehicle.

It’s possible to have something communicated with politeness and civility that has the same substantive value as that of something communicated in a crass manner.

Some people here seem to be conflating the style and manner of the times with the underlying substantitve issues.

Now I have a question for Starving Artist based on this post in another thread:

@Starving_Artist

I spoken about this crass=racial freedom bullshit around here many times before. I could have sworn you were in attendance.

Liberal permissiveness and aversion to standards and codes of conduct is what has resulted in this society having become what it is, and race had little to nothing to do with it. It started with baby-boom hippies who wanted to wear long hair and idiotic clothes and smoke ‘dope’ and do drugs and still get hired and make a living and not be expected to live up to standards of civil society. So the previous codes of conduct had to go, and liberal permissiveness and an aversion to saying enough is enough when it comes to their sacred cows has brought us wo where we are today.

If you can pull your head out long enough to look around a little and look into it, you might notice that the civil rights demonstrators who had the most effect and did the most good, did so while wearing Sunday dresses and dress shirts, slacks and ties.

It’s only because of history revisionists in the educational system the last few decades – revisionists anxious to explain or make excuses for the harmful effects their philosophies and permissiveness have had upon this country over the last 50 years – that people like you believe that nonsense.

Are you saying that the hippie culture just happened to be simultaneously happening with the civil rights movement? What were the effects of the hippie movement? Is it your contention that if that cultural event (the hippies) never happened that the same advances in policy would have taken place?

Please expand on this.
