California Legislature Declares "Cuss-Free" Week

shewfig writes "The California legislature, which previously tried to ban incandescent light bulbs, just added to the list of banned things ... swear words! Fortunately, the measure only applies for the first week of March, and compliance is voluntary — although, apparently, there will be a 'swear jar' in the Assembly and the Governor's mansion. No word yet on whether the Governator intends to comply."

CA must be on easy street

what a fucking waste of time

No fucking shit. Especially since this forsaken shithole is practically broke because of these dim witted bitches and their cock-biting agendas.

On a related note, the Facebook response is a group called "Fuck Week." I didn't join, but I was quite amused.

California? As in:

"For some time now I have lamented the fact that major issues are overlooked while many
Unnecessary bills come to me for consideration. Water reform, prison reform, and health
Care are major issues my Administration has brought to the table, but the Legislature just
Kicks the can down the alley.

Yet another legislative year has come and gone without the major reforms Californians
Overwhelmingly deserve. In light of this, and after careful consideration, I believe it is
Unnecessary to sign this measure at this time."

Those California legislators are totally un-politically correct. This bill is insensitive to people with Tourette syndrome.

I can just see a few hundred robocallers swearing at california.

They wouldn't be noticed among the tens of thousands of humans calling every day to swear at the gubbimint.

You missed the point. Here, let me fix it for you,

Half the words in the dictionary can "cause offense and hurt feelings or other psychological harm", if used the right way.

The other half can "cause offense and hurt feelings or other psychological harm" if used in the wrong way.

Fuck you, asshole

How delightful. The first post to be moderated offtopic quotes cussing uttered by the governor of California in one of his better known roles, thereby making it relevant to the subject on two levels Where are my mod points when I really need them?

Good to see that with schools going down the toilet, a budget spirally out of control and more and more companies moving out of the area...the legislature is hard at work.

Role Models

[Tsiangkun]

Frequently I like to embrace the role models in our government and
use word placement to make a point. Arnold did this, and it was
clear what his intentions were. I applaud our government for
keeping their promises on this critical piece of legislation.

Year after year tax payer money gets thrown away on
one stupid idea after another. Unless we can educated the
uneducated, these movie stars will continue to rule.

America needs leadership that can dedicate a week to getting
results. A week just to stop swearing at each other, that is
not even a good start. We need a week away from faith in
our markets to fix everything. We need a week of using
logic to solve problems. We need to vote third party, the
democrats and republics are colluding, but they call it compromise.

Take credit cards?

" Fortunately, the measure only for the first week of March, and compliance is voluntary — although, apparently, there will be a 'swear jar' in the Assembly and the Governor's mansion. No word yet on whether the Governator intends to comply.""

Governors office:
Scene: Two aides about to get chewed out.
Governor walks over to the swear jar and puts in a $100. Apparently it's going to be a long night.

Tits? seriously? Piss doesn't seem like a swear word anymore either.

Tits doesn't even belong on the list, you know. It's such a friendly sounding word. It sounds like a nickname. 'Hey, Tits, come here. Tits, meet Toots, Toots, Tits, Tits, Toots.' It sounds like a snack doesn't it? Yes, I know, it is, right. But I don't mean the sexist snack, I mean, New Nabisco Tits. The new Cheese Tits, and Corn Tits and Pizza Tits, Sesame Tits Onion Tits, Tater Tits, Yeah. Betcha can't eat just one. That's true I usually switch off . But I mean that word does not belong on the list.

-snip-

The reason Piss and Cunt are on the list is that a long time ago certain ladies said 'Those are the two I am not going to say. I don't mind Fuck and Shit, but P and C are out. P and C are out.' Which led to such stupid sentences as 'OK, you fuckers, I am going to tinkle now.'

RIP George, you dead fucker.
