    I did say 'generally' but as is usually the case the inability to read the original post of any thread is lost on some people. At no stage have I stated that I am above reproach - merely asking the question of respect.
    And Kattyman, I have not said I am holier than thou nor is this a proof reading or grammatical discussion. I refer you to the first line of my response...

    Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.

    The broken record ...

    'tis funny how my students always start the year with foul mouths, as time goes on, I use the broken record technique "watch your language please" to every profane outburst. Eventually their usage of it (around me) reduces until they rarely swear (around me).

    I always compliment them on the days when they do not swear or cuss around me.

    Once in every while, I let burst a torrent of filthy words that would make a sailor blush. The looks on the student's faces when they hear it ... Then, I say "well now you know how I and most people feel whenever you swear or cuss".

    Works well for me!

    I know a Doctor of Philosophy who is the most intelligent person I know. Like huge pointy head to contain a massive brain, and I've tried to read some of his technical writing and i just can't. He swears like a trooper because its one way of making sure his meaning is understood. Plus the pithy Anglo Saxon phrases have a certain ring to them.

    So I follow his lead. Time and place though, eh? I mean you dont talk to your Grandma the way you talk to your mates, you dont talk to your mates like you talk to your girlfriend, you dont talk to your girlfriend the way you talk to her girlfriends ("Hey baby, how bout that threesome?")..... know what I'm saying??

    Fuck off Col, you big knob.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    We could start a challenge to see if everyone can communicate without using expletives. How many could post using English words and grammar that can convey their message clearly without resorting to foul language?

    The trouble these days is that so many have little understanding or knowledge of English at all and don't even know basic words and their meanings. These are grown ups in their late teens and twenties.

    Why not make a point of looking up words and their meanings and post using your new-found knowledge? It is hard to engender respect with written and verbal language that betrays ignorance of basic grammar. People won't take you seriously or want to employ you.

    If you think about it, respect is earned and everyone has similar standards for granting others respect, from the bank manager to the homeless street person. When you're in the pub, or at a party, drinking, swearing, and being lewd, you're neither earning respect nor granting it. It is merely a showy bravado and facade while you convince yourself you're having the time of your life.

    Think about who you really respect and why. I doubt it is anything to do with language, but rather on you knowing the person personally. I tend to ignore the bad language on here and put people in boxes depending on how they come across with their attitude. One thing that comes across clearly, not only on KB but in life, is that people tend to jump to the wrong conclusions too easily and are generally defensive, feeling they are being attacked personally when such is not the case.

    Humour can alleviate a lot of angst. People need to laugh more, genuine laughter.

    Docking

    Docking.

    The delicious act of two men rubbing the heads of their dicks together, with one of the men's foreskin being stretched over the head of his partner's dick. Add a little leakage (precum) from one (or both of their dicks), mutual excitement, rubbing, grinding, heavy breathing and the result is a mind-blowing orgasm for both men.


    Alone in their personal sauna at home, Josh and Wayne glued their dicks together with a little skin and spooge and made love to each other's cock all night long...ahhh the joys of docking.
