-Why I hate people who complain about the 'lack of morals' in America-
LINK to main story
The agency made it clear then that virtually any use of the F-word -- which is used repeatedly in "Saving Private Ryan" -- was inappropriate for over-the-air radio and television.
So, over the past Veteran's Day, there was a big beef session over the showing of Saving Private Ryan on ABC and several other news organizations, because the FCC (the Federal Communications Commission), which provides guidelines for what can and cannot be shown on TV, had problems with the word 'fuck' being aired on the television.
Well, I'll be damned.
You're telling me...
... that an arbitrary word...
... like 'fuck'...
... is going to spoil humanity?
In case you folks at the FCC haven't
noticed, they now make video games based on WWII.
No, I'm not kidding. No, I'm totally serious. Today, you can go out and buy
the series of games called 'Medal Of Honor', where you can re-enact the invasion
of Normandy Beach on D-Day, and you pick up health packs to restore the
health lost by bullet wounds.

Yes, you and your family can experience all the fun associated with the invasion of countries.
Hell, next, it'll be Sim Holocaust!
And now, the FCC comes out and claims that it doesn't have a problem with showing people's intestines being blown out their assholes, but it does have a problem with the word 'fuck'. Because somehow, we have cheapened life so much, that bombing countries in the Middle East is easy, and war has become a videogame, and because of that, we have to worry about Janet Jackson's breast and the word 'fuck'.
I'm reminded of a line from Apocalypse Now:
We train young men to drop fire
on people. But their commanders won't allow them to write "fuck" on
their airplanes because it's obscene!

So, please, Mr. Conservative: whine about gay marriage, whine about the word 'fuck', and whine about how the 'moral fabric' of America is being torn apart. You can whine all you want. That's your right. But you don't have a right to be stupid. That's not in the constitution. Keep in mind that every day, people are being blown to shreds of bloody flesh in other countries, and you are complaining about 'fuck' and men holding hands. Contemplate the screams of thousands of Japanese as you drop nuclear fire on them while they sit in their homes, and as you incinerate their dreams.
Life is cheap in the U.S. We think nothing of killing others and justifying it. First reaction after 9/11? Kill people. First reaction when there are 'Weapons of Mass Destruction' in other countries? Kill people. First reaction when you are hunting, and someone comes on your land? Kill people

Since when did we have 'moral fabric'? Little kids are shown violence from their early years, and you are complaining about the word 'fuck' being aired to them in a movie that is supposed to show them the horrors of war?
Why, WE'RE DOING IT FOR THE CHILDREN! THE CHILDREN! DON'T FORGET THE CHILDREN! DON'T SAY FUCK FOR THE CHILDREN'S SAKE!

Sorry folks, we lost any moral integrity we had a long time ago, and that 'we' includes me.
Let me spell my thoughts out to the FCC:
