The point that was made noted that this is NOT a children's site. As a place for grown-ups, negative language and adult type of humor is acceptable. The point made to R.Ruff, and now to the likes of you, is that by repeating the joke, which you also did, makes anything else the two of you have to say about it a total waste of space. <EOM> |

"so i guess diabetic news groups are places adults should be afraid to let their children read." i do wonder how many of you kind people feel children should be turned away from these groups simply because we want to use bad language while disagreeing with others be it aspertame or low hi what ever. excuse me what you are saying about aspartame is false there are recent studies show this. excuse me but I would rather not talk to you anymore good bye. of course you could ad a few bad words in there - and please do. then think what way sounded more like an adult and would be a better choice for a medical newsgroup. fight among yourselves i dont expect things to change so i wont even try. |

That's right! There are 7 bad words you should never use (13 if you're sailor, hyuk-hyuk-hyuk!) Excuse me, my daughter and I have been seeing a lot of Spongebob Squarepants lately.... |

Let me get this straight. You're complaining about someone posting a joke (presumably, I've not got the whole thread here) about prostitutes because there may be "children watching", yet in your reply, you use the opening gambit of "What an ASSHOLE? If so, I'm not at too much of a loss as to WHO the "asshole" is. Btw, it's my bet that children know as much about telling prostitute jokes as you do. (More in fact) Beav |
