One thing I learned a long time ago is to be prepared for the consequences of your actions. I was ready to be terminated, pay his medical bills and perhaps have the cops show up. Funny thing was a couple of co-workers were slapping me on the back for doing it LOL Long story, but the guy I hit didn't want to go through the trouble (my personal thought was because it would put a light on his actions as well, and he wasn't ready for the possibility of losing his job).

I have cursed like a sailor even before I was in the Navy. I also worked in a prison for a few years. Certain jobs and situations it is more exceptable. But don't direct your swearing at me, or I will get super pissed. Lol

You never read Andy Capp?
If a man tells me he's going to hit me if I do something, I'd better not do it or be prepared to be hit.

Again, whether he was prepared or not is not my interest, I'm not even sure I believe this story lol. I just find it hypocritical so much was made out of swearing in front of underage posters on OTz when this is the way you feel about physical violence. :\

I'd like to think I've grown as a person.
Personally, I detest physical violence, but I won't lie, and have been in my fair share of brawls/fights in my youth. I can honestly say I don't think I've been in a fight since I hit 30, and I'm now closer to 50 than 40.
That said, I'm fully aware of the fact that there are evil men in this world that don't care what harm their actions may bring to you, and if you aren't prepared to meet violence with violence, harm may come to you (AKA you have to wait for the police, good luck charlie).
Another general rule I follow is that hopefully you learn from your mistakes and grow from them as a person. Heck, I EXPECT young people to curse with their friend as they grow into adults. I'd also like to think that they may come to the realization that for the most part, cursing usually accomplishes nothing.
As mentioned, I don't think I really fit into the demographics "of the crowd" here. As mentioned, I'm closer to 50 than 40, have had a career for some time, have a family, probably spend more time on the computer than I need to, and I got excited when I picked up a 31 HP Scag Cheetah with a 61" deck as a demo because my mower is in the shop. Perhaps I'm just becoming a fuddy duddy. I'm guessing the fact is I don't have much in common with the majority of members here, and perhaps that's just one reason why I feel using obscene language on the internet is kind of useless.

There are, from what I understand, a number of people here in your demographic! I think it's pretty well mixed around here, seems like lots of people have different viewpoints about a lot of things. Whenever a person states an opinion that seems like an indictment to a majority of the posters, and one that sort of shames them for their immoral conduct, people will get a bit edgy.
It usually amuses me when someone says fudge or dad gomit. To each his own though.
There are quite a few here your age, with children and wives that spend some of their time posting on this site. You aren't the only one with children, and you definitely aren't the only one who holds interest in this site. I think what you aren't really getting here is that no one has ever complained about how this site is run. There are mods and administrators here to take care of things if conversations get out of hand, and if they get too risque, they're moved to the underground section of the site where certain requirements must be met before posting in that section. All in all, it's fun for everyone to be able to post here and not have to watch what they say around whoever. It's nice to not have to tip toe with what we say, and even then, it's all pretty mild stuff.
I don't understand why new people want to rearrange the furniture the first fucking time they walk into a room. If you come in my house you better not move the sofa. I put it there because that's where I want it. If you want it somewhere else then get your own house and sofa.
Damn I think I love you!:24::24::24::24::24:

oh shut the fuck up you Canadien hoser
On the border we called them Froggers. You get that eh?:24:
I don't think Joe is trying to "rearrange the furniture" here. He is just stating his opinion. Personally, I choose not to use foul language on a forum where there are minors either, even though there are times I can swear with the best of them. It's my choice though and I don't expect anyone to follow my way of thinking.

That is a term I am careful not to use on the internet. For some Canadians it is quite the insult.
