Offensive Language

Foul language is meant to be offensive and it is just that
...offensive and a verbal assault to those who are exposed to it.
Have you ever noticed, when reading comments to various posts on
websites, that people who cannot speak without using foul
language seem to be very angry. It also appears they have a very
limited vocabulary indicating a lack of skills in other areas as well.
They cannot possibly feel part of the mainstream and that contributes
to their anger and they don't know why. Lose the foul language and
see how much your life changes. We each give ourselves permission
to behave the way we do. Give yourself permission to lose the foul language.

Civilized people will not call you out about your foul language,
but we do not like it. No matter how much money you have or
do not have, foul language is unacceptable, disrespectful, and
uncivilized behavior.

The Dead Horse Theory

To develop common sense and the ability to make good decisions on your own,
without guidance from parents or the government, we suggest you purchase our book
“A Year of Good Manners” by Margery Sinclair and Jan Polk ($27.95) to read
365 etiquette tips and the reasons to use them. You will learn to excel in dealing with family, school, social and business situations. Knowing respect and good manners makes you feel relaxed and confident. You may even develop the "likability factor" and become charming.

You will definitely understand the Dead Horse Theory:

The tribal wisdom of the Dakota Indians, passed on from generation to generation, says that, "When you discover that you are riding a dead horse, the best strategy is to dismount."

However, in government, education, and in corporate America, more advanced strategies are often employed, such as:

1. Buying a stronger whip.
2. Changing riders.
3. Appointing a committee to study the horse.

4. Arranging to visit other countries to see how other cultures ride dead horses.
5. Lowering the standards so that dead horses can be included.

6. Reclassifying the dead horse as living-impaired.
7. Hiring outside contractors to ride the dead horse.

8. Harnessing several dead horses together to increase speed.
9. Providing additional funding and/or training to increase dead horse's performance.
10. Doing a productivity study to see if lighter riders would improve the dead horse's performance.

11. Declaring that as the dead horse does not have to be fed, it is less costly, carries lower overhead and therefore contributes substantially more to the bottom line of the economy than do some other horses.

12. Rewriting the expected performance requirements for all horses.
And of course....

13. Promoting the dead horse to a supervisory position.
