[QUOTE="Hobbes, post: 2845668, member: 3371"] Yes, I remember when socialism was a dirty word. That was before the word was used indiscriminately as a crude form of slur whether it applied or not. Throw that word, and others, around generously enough and pretty soon it starts to go in one ear and out the other. You see it right here on this forum every day. After a while it loses it's shock value. It has no meaning when it begins to mean everything. Swearing can impart a powerful impact of one's point of view, but only if the swearing is used judiciously. When every other word becomes a swear word most people don't even hear it anymore. [/QUOTE]
