I don't understand why anyone would get the red arrow on any post in this thread... I thought the point was that we were allowed to disagree...

Even the most emotional statements here are fairly tame.

You accused me (or perhaps you meant most of the Swedes) of having loose mores because I (or we) didn't think that mentioning the "c word" in passing was a big deal. Is it unreasonable to want to know how you rationalize such a statement?

I think few people who did not live during the Vietnam war in the US can fully understand the contempt many of us have for the traitor named Jane Fonda.  She has tried to justify her actions in North Vietnam (gleefully posing on a gun platform that shot down may of her countrymen) by saying she was "young and foolish" or somethng like that and didn't understand that the North Vietnamese were using her for political purposes.  That's sophist Bull-S**t. The fact was that she wasn't a teenager at the time.  The only reason she has ever made any half-hearted attempt to feign an apology is because she doesn't like people to remember how despicable a person she really is.  If there were truly any justice in the US she would have been eithe jailed long ago or treated like Philip Nolan (The Man without a Country) who was sentenced to permanent exile never to hear the name of the United Stages again.  Her cavailer use of the C-word (considered by many women to be the absoulte worst profanity) is proof that she cares for no one but herself.  I don't doubt that in person she can be as friendly as VibroCount says.  I consider her to be a highly talented actress.  That doesn't begin, however, to counteract her villainous, traitorous past.  I'm sure she wouldn't have used the "N-word" if she had been asked to appear in a play/movie with that word in the title.

I served from 1969 to 1974, including Saigon.

I know my thoughts are not unique.

Hi Guys,

So in the context of the word it is the title of the monologue she was asked to do, therefore there is nothing dirty or obscene about it (maybe rude, but not obscene)

True!

But, If the part was about someone sleeping around, an she refer to it as f**ing around? Allowing the c-word, opens up a can of worms, therefore appropriate actions by the FCC are in order.

why wouildn't she refer to it as F******g around? there is nothing obscene about that either.
