I, for one, fully support this idea. Too many cocksuckers are walking around out there, with mouths like fucking dockworkers, with no goddamned idea of when that sort of shit is appropriate and when it isn’t. It’s about time some son of a bitch taught these motherfucking assholes a little bit about decorum. ---

> [@A Monkey With a Gun](#): > > Meh, this means nothing. It’s what legislatures do when they need to take a breather from the real issues; they name weeks, months, or days after random shit. I seriously doubt they spent a significant amount of time debating it. Yeah, I’m not really seeing the outrage either. When they take off an entire week for the Minesweeper tourny, then I’ll start frothing at the mouth. ---

We always had one int he conference room at a company I once worked for. It usually got a few bucks at each meeting. We all knew there was serious trouble the day a VP walked into the meeting and dropped his AmEx into the jar . . . ;D ---

Progressives =/= progressives, and I note that conservatives don’t seem to have much of a problem with employing the system either - see Proposition 12. ---

In the spirt of this thread, allow me to respectfully submit the following Holy fucking shit, are you out or your fucking mind? What is this bullshit? Progressive or not progressive has fuck all to do with shit. They ALL play the fucking system to their own ends. Progressive my ass. it ain’t the librul progressive commie bastards who pushed the prop about gays last year, and it wasn’t them who keep trying to push higher nuisance taxes on “bad stuff” likesmokes, beer, anything they disapprove of. No, its busy fucking bodies and weasel felching do gooders and “we know what’s best for you” bastards.. Any piss ant bastard can push any piece of shit as a proposition, and they bloody well fucking have. So fuck that “progressive liberal commies did it” bullshit. I guess during No Cursing Week, I’m gonna be in trouble 😃 ---

Here’s a pretty nice rant, I cut out parts, for brevity and hopefully to comply with Dope rules. > **[A Strongly Worded Letter to the California Assembly](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/a-strongly-worded-letter_b_479639)** > > Our streets are crumbling, businesses are leaving, and you want to take away our right to swear? What the fuck is wrong with you? This is exactly the time when Californians need swearing the most. > [@](#): > > Dear California Assembly, > I understand that next week you are planning to vote on a resolution that would make the first week in March a “cuss free week” in California. … Well, let me be the first to say to everyone in both houses of the California Legislature, “Fuck you.” This year, California has a predicted budget deficit of more than $20 billion dollars. Our unemployment rate is just over 12%, more than two points higher than the national average. Public schools have been forced to cut staff, teachers and services with inevitably more cuts to come. Low income families have seen their insurance benefits (as well as other safety nets) slashed. … So, while you sit up there in Sacramento having a good chuckle with your swear jars and patting yourselves on the back for getting on television, just remember that the people who voted you into office are really fucking pissed off at the shitty way you’re running our state. > Sincerely, > An Angry Fucking Californian > P.S. Hey, Arnold. Fuck you, too. ---
