I think there are 2 factors, and I read several other groups that are the
same way.

1. Closeknit - people who have known each other a long time.

2. Sheer volume of posts drowns them out, and they give up.

Or health care personnel.

It's also unwise to **** of a cop, or a judge.

As my Polish uncle used to say.

In a world of Usenet kooks and absolutely insane Usenet newsgroups, I must
comment that this one is a breath of fresh air. Yes, there are political
kooks, but they haven't dominated yet. Maybe because of the simple basic
nature of the topic.

Food.

Cooking.

Doesn't get any simpler than that.

Who can argue politics with the cook? Not smart at all.

Bad tempered/ill humoured judges should not have the right to hand down
decisions/sentences.

I don't think he liked me talking to him 'one-on-one' without having the
legal parasites involved. And I don't think he liked my comment of
"Ohhhh, **** off...... do you really believe that shit??!!" when he was
reading some of his shite out.

Ahhhh well........ hopefully, he learned something that day.

Somehow reminds me of an ex-brother-in-law. He was in the military, and
was away from home more often than not...

Anyway, he came home for one of his 'flying visits' the whole family was
sitting around the dinner table; his Mom had laid on a 'feast' in his
honour... He had just thanked her profusely and went on about how nice
it was to have a wonderful home-cooked meal again etc., then without
thinking he said, "Please pass the f**king butter." There was a shocked

Recently, I had to go to court. For the third time, after the prosecution
had failed to find the "evidence". When asked by the judge what I pled, I
made a motion to dismiss because of prosecution's inability to produce
discovery and evidence, and cited him number and verse from state law. He
looked at me for about five seconds, looked at the prosecutor, banged his
gavel, and said "Case Dismissed".

But I sure as hell hope I don't ever have to meet the man again in court.
He was fuming under his robe, but he knew I was right.

Sometimes profanity has a use, but "****ing butter"? Of course I would
never do this, but after I read the above, I thought about a possible
response recommending that he not use butter as a sexual lubricant due
to possible rancidity at body heat, depending on what part of what body
he was going to lubricate.

It would have been a slip-up on his part.

Spending 24/7 time living/eating/breathing/fighting with a whole bunch

2 guys are standing at urinals in a bar.

One looks at the other and says " you're parents are from Flatbush and went
to Temple Beth Israel.

The second man is completely amazed and said " that's amazing how do you
know all this?

The first man answered "it's simple their mohel is cross-eyed and you're
****ing on my shoe.

Mrs. Smith tells her husband he has to do something about the language of
their teen age boys. She really gets on his case.

The next morning at the breakfast table Mr. Smith says, "Tommy what do you
want for Breakfast?" Tommy says, "Pass the F***ing Corn Flakes."

Without saying a word Mr. Smith halls off and knocks Tommy ass over tea
Kettle.

He looks at Billy and says, "Billy and what do you want for Breakfast?"

Billy looks up and says, I'm not sure but you can bet your sweet ass it
ain't gonna be Corn Flakes.

Little Billy was ten. He was always using foul language, much to the
chagrin of his teachers and parents. One day in school, the teacher was
doing an English lesson where she'd give a kid a word and the kid had to
spell it and use it correctly in a sentence. When she she got to Billy,
she knew she'd have to give him a word that could in no way be made dirty.
"Beautiful", she said. Billy responded, "b e a u t i f u l -- last night
my 15-year-old sister told us at dinner that she was pregnant, and my
father said, 'Well, ain't *that* just ****ing beautiful!'"
