[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Mookie Kevin - my Dad was a railroader for 40 years. He didn't have to resort to ugly language and yelling to get his point across. He was a gentleman and according to all his peers, a very good engineer. They all liked to work for and with him. They told me; he never would have said anything! He didn't want me to work for the railroad because they were so rough and tumble and the language so bad. So no surprises there. But like Modelcar - I think we can be civilized - we aren't on the railroad here - we are in what should be a fun, interesting and informative forum. Remember, we are dealing with the world here, not just a local pool hall group. Mook [/quote] No, I don't think so, This site is a very poor description of The RR world, and the world for that matter. Your buying Groceries, and you can't find whatr you want, and you decide to swear really loudly.. What is going to happen to you? Maybe a few people may lift their heads, but that is about it.. Your the engineer on a train, and your Crew alert goes off, and puts the Trains breakes on. You swear really loudly. Who is going to tell you otherwise? On this site- you have figures WHO WILL tell you what and what not to do as approprtiate bahavior. In the real world, do you have people who follow you arounbd like that every day, telling you what is socially acceptable and what isn't? The last time I had that, I couldn't find the Green beans and was getting really angry, So I let out a few words, questionable to, And dsomeone who thought they could show me up tried to pull me up. They Failed, misserably. Look if you want to really get down to it- why do people have a knack to stop people from swearing? Heck, i'll stop when someone tells me Why they keep pedaling that stupid line, or where its origin comes from. Ready for this? heres a good story. the year 1200-1600 AD, Britian is on the war path, Any language other then Anglo-Saxin english, uttered in Britian, will have you executed. Take evry woird you find unaaceptable, look up the origin, German, Deutch.. All european languages, Even some are from Latin English, which was a Crime, during 1200-1600 to utter in Great britian, and if you did you were executed, msot likely hung. Thats where swearing comes from. How Stupid is that? Look many of you shutter to hear such words, But I refuse, and mark this down, To carry along side with me a 500+ year old War against what English is better, The anglo saxin English or the Latin English, and that it is imoral to integrade other languages into English. Like these words? Kindergarten (German) Bungalo (Indian) Both those words would have you killed in Great Britian, yet many of you use those today. The F word carried no difference in penalty, it was simply a Deutch word and was not permitted. If you don't like my English, I suggest you avoid me. Now i went off on a Tangent, where was I... Freedom of speech last time I checked meant Free Speech, and there were no exemptions. Deviant behavior curves society, even when your asleep, If it wasn't for deviance, we would be stuck in the same place we were 30 years ago I can thing of 5 things that weren't acceptable 50 years ago, but are now.. actually I can think of more.
