A big fucking deal about "a big fucking deal".

Oh, here we go with this shit again.
Thought we'd wrestled past this constipated social conservative horseshit back in the 80's, but I guess every generation or two needs a reminder.

All right, some lame dweeby little teenagers are in a tizzy about Joe Biden's "this is a big fucking deal", line, and the media has picked up on it.

Linky.

Here's the official site of these kids....

Linky.

Anyway, okay, here goes...

First, out to my usual audience, isn't it bad enough, that these fucking uptight, backwards, frightened, superstitious, doctrinaire, and ultimately authoritarian people hide behind children?
Now they're literally putting kids on the front line of their culture war bullshit.

Lovely.

Okay, now to you kiddies out there, time for Unca' Dickynoo to take you to school.
Apparently, the actual schools aren't doing it, so the weary burden falls to me...

Let's break down why you think there's a big fucking deal about "a big fucking deal".

"Fucking", right?

Well, what thought is conveyed by that word?

Sex.

Sex makes babies, so sex is the source of life, so, what's bad about the source of life?

And isn't sex a big deal in a relationship?

And isn't sex in a relationship a really big deal when the couple decides to produce a rugrat from their coupling?

Wouldn't you say it's one of the biggest deals there is?

Couldn't one in fact say, it's a big fucking deal?

So, could we not apply that as a unit of measurement to other big deals?

Well, let's look at health care then.

According to some stats, several thousand Americans drop dead a day for lack of it.

Seems like a big fucking deal to me.

Indeed a much huger deal than an individual act of fucking, or the utterance of the word "fuck".

So, let's say this health care bill does what they say it will, and it'll stop a good chunk of those thousands from dropping dead.

I'd say that would be a big fucking deal too.

Again, a huger deal than an individual act of fucking, or the utterance of the word "fuck".

In fact, I'd dare say, a bigger deal than all the acts of fucking currently going on in the world.

Because, with more people alive, there will be more fucking, and more children.

People that wouldn't even exist, if not for Obama's stroke of a pen.

Some of those people who will now survive, might in fact be your future wives and husbands.
Therefore, those future unborn people might be your own children, children.

Big fucking deal?

I'd say so.

And that's exactly the language to describe it.

"Bad language"? Are you fucking kidding me?

Here's a secret kids, there's no such thing as "bad language".

It's the thoughts being conveyed by the language.

Politicos, pundits, and yes, clergymen, say far more horrible and morally reprehensible, and indeed, evil things all the time, without uttering so much as "damn", or even "poo-poo".

Does the welcoming of healthcare reform fall under that level of cold-blooded straight faced moral filth?

Um...I don't think so.

Time to start growing up, kids.

And part of that, is learning that the authority figures in charge of you, including your parents, and especially your teachers, might in fact, be wrong.
In fact, they might be flat out bullshitting you.

And hell, that might include Obama and Biden for all I know.

But, one thing's for sure, whether health care reform turns out to be good, or horrific, one thing it certainly is, is a big fucking deal.

A much bigger deal than "fuck".

And the last thing we need, at cruxes of history like this, is the language police coming back.

Whether they have the haggard jowls of old age, or the trusting idealistic bright eyed doey face of youth.

Language is an instrument, nothing more, it's all in what you use it for.
Saying there's "bad language", or "bad words", is like saying there are certain knives in the kitchen that are "bad".

Okay, throw out the "bad", knives, but then try to carve a turkey, or peel an exotic vegetable someday when they're gone.

Or, try to describe fair-and-square honest-to-goodness big fucking deals, without "fuck".

We need all our instruments.

None of them are bad.

Anyone who tells you otherwise, is on the bullshit brigade.

And try calling bullshit what it truly is without "bullshit".

That one's really important to have in the toolkit.

Especially in America.

You'll see, kiddies, you'll see.
