What is to stop religious rasist pharmisists from only keeping birthcontrol from the white customers, because they want to encourage the decrease in the minority population of their town.

I assume she'll leave us a third this week, because she's been very, very, very good about a new one every week."<BR/><BR/>Was that a subtle jab at me? Are you disappointed that I haven't left a comment on your last podcast?<BR/><BR/>Well, to make it up to you, I have two suggestions for a future topic (which <I>I</I> think are wonderful, but you are of course free to reject). <BR/><BR/>The first one comes from a post over at Friendly Atheist. The story itself isn't really that important, but the comment is something that I take issue with. The commenter <A HREF="http://friendlyatheist.com/2008/02/29/atheist-family-faces-discrimination-eviction/#comment-135131" REL="nofollow">said</A>, <A HREF="http://friendlyatheist.com/2008/02/29/atheist-family-faces-discrimination-eviction/#comment-135109" REL="nofollow">among other things</A>:<BR/><BR/>"I was just wondering if speaking out and complaining about your rights being violated every time a song is sung and/or the Pledge of Allegiance is said is all that effective in changing the majority."<BR/><BR/>Maybe you could include this in your discussion with my original topic suggestion (the atheist cause one). I don't know. <BR/><BR/>In a way, it kind of cuts to the heart of your podcast, though, so I thought it might be good. Like, why’d you guys want to do this whole podcast thing in the first place? What good does it do for y’all to sit around and talk, and for us to listen? Shouldn't we spend more of our time out doing things - rather than sitting around blogging and podcasting - if we really wanted to change things?<BR/><BR/>::shrugs::<BR/><BR/>And, as a more frivolous topic, who’s your favorite atheist/skeptic comedian, and why? Or, if you'd rather just talk about your favorite comedians regardless of their religion, that's cool, too.

The two words that bother me sometimes are "bitch" and "cunt," but my discomfort depends on the contexts in which the words are used. If they are being used to demean women, then, yeah, they make really fucking angry. Other usages of those words don't bother me anymore than other "swear" words.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2699987188234610612.post-49688692826166614912008-03-08T00:41:00.000-06:002008-03-08T00:41:00.000-06:00Venjanz:Philly gets "feather-headed, sepia-toned m...Venjanz:<BR/>Philly gets "feather-headed, sepia-toned mothafucka" and I only get the unimaginative "Asshole"?

As a reward, we'll try to throw a "motherfucker" or two into the discussion especially for you. <BR/><BR/><I>I did not have sex with that woman, Miss Lewinsky,</I><BR/>Of course, if Clinton had been forthright and said, "I didn't fuck that woman, Miss Lewinsky," he would have been telling the truth. Then maybe he could have gone after bin Laden in Afghanistan without the populace thinking that he was just trying to change the fucking subject. <BR/><BR/><I>People that cuss all the time are usually poorly educated, “low-class,” and behave in ways that I personally would consider immoral."</I><BR/>It turns out that that's <I>not</I> the case. Using four-letter words is common among the highly educated upper classes <I>and</I> the barely educated lower classes. It's the middle class prigs with mid-level educations who think that "spicy" language is boorish. <BR/><BR/><I>Cursing is an art, and it takes a lot of practice.</I> <BR/>Yeah, we keep telling ourselves that. It's bullshit, but it sounds good. <I>Invective</I> is an art; cursing is easy enough for an inarticulate teenager to do effectively. That's why we at AGP are so good at it.The Exterminatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14452054124550486048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2699987188234610612.post-51954968738976406142008-03-06T01:28:00.000-06:002008-03-06T01:28:00.000-06:00That was entertaining, y’all get better every week...That was entertaining, y’all get better every week. <BR/><BR/>Personally, my favorite curse word is “Motherfucker.” I don’t use “cunt” mostly because I’m not British. I am not a big fan of “shit,” unless I am trying to make a point or have been drinking or I’m making fun of somebody. <BR/><BR/>Generally I try not to use curse words in my speech because, and I’m sorry say, people that cuss all the time are usually poorly educated, “low-class,” and behave in ways that I personally would consider immoral. I usually can’t help myself though, especially when I’m worked up about something.<BR/><BR/>Consider this, for example: <BR/><BR/>“I did not have sex with that woman, Miss Lewinsky,” <BR/>Or: <BR/>“Man, fuck you. I didn’t run up in that bitch, you shit-eatin’, cum-guzzelin’ muthafucka,”<BR/><BR/> William Jefferson Clinton <BR/><BR/>Very often at work, I will go outside to have a non-PC cigarette, and I will see a new female employee that I think is attractive. I sidle over to get a better look and to listen in on what she is talking about, and will hear things like:<BR/><BR/>“I’m fucking not fucking kidding about that fucking shit, that asshole really said that fucking shit,” <BR/><BR/>Or:<BR/><BR/>“I told that asshole I wanted a fucking monotonous relationship and shit,” Girl One said.<BR/>“What’s a fucking ‘monotonous’ relationship?” Girl Two asked.<BR/>“That’s where I don’t fuck no body else and he don’t fuck no body else,” Girl One said as she looked at me with a puzzled expression as I was doubled over laughing. <BR/><BR/>Indecently, “Girl One” got beat up for the umpteenth time by her long-time boyfriend while she was seven-months pregnant, and finally decided to leave him. Within a week, she had a new boyfriend that she is moving in with after she gets out of the hospital. <BR/><BR/>Cursing is an art, and it takes a lot of practice. And like a sword, if you use it too much, the edge will become dull. That’s all I’m saying. <BR/><BR/>-TommyVenjanzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14632111675112237375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2699987188234610612.post-1842222968511705692008-03-05T02:24:00.000-06:002008-03-05T02:24:00.000-06:00Anna:Thanks for the compliment, and thanks for add...Anna:<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the compliment, and thanks for adding us to your list of favorite podcasts.<BR/><BR/>We're flattered that we kept you entertained all day.
