Of course he was speechless a lot of       the time. :)              > I used that language, as a kid               I never did, nor did my parents or siblings or many I was associated       with, for the most part.               > & as a teen, hanging out with 'the bad crowd',                Yep.        There were one or two other kids I knew who did, but not close friends of       any sort.               > my partents, even at my worst.               I would have soon learned what a bar of soap tasted like if I had.        Kids today (broadly speaking) have little discipline at home. That is       now viewed as some sort of repression of their expression.        Joe       --- Platinum Xpress/Win/WINServer v3.0pr5        * Origin: Fidonet Since 1991 www.doccyber.org bbs.docsplace.org (1:135/392)       SEEN-BY: 1/120 123 15/0 18/0 90/1 105/81 106/201 116/116 120/340 123/0       SEEN-BY: 123/25 115 126 131 160 180 200 755 129/305 330 331 135/300       SEEN-BY: 135/366 371 379 382 383 384 385 388 390 391 392 138/146 153/757       SEEN-BY: 153/7715 154/10 218/700 222/2 226/30 227/114 229/110 206       SEEN-BY: 229/307 317 400 424 426 428 452 664 700 240/1120 5832 250/1       SEEN-BY: 261/1466 266/512 275/100 1000 282/1038 292/854 299/6 300/4       SEEN-BY: 301/1 317/3 320/219 322/757 342/11 200 396/45 460/58 633/280       SEEN-BY: 640/1321 712/848 3634/0 12 15 24 27 50 5020/1042       PATH: 135/392 300 3634/12 153/7715 229/426           |
