LOL! Columbine that's pretty close to what I was thinking. Either that or the person who things the Brits have less foul language just doesn't recognize what they are hearing.

I remember as a kid curses were the first things I learned in other languages, and sometimes it was the only thing I learned other than "hello" and "thank you". Mostly they the ones my father's students spoke, so I could quietly mutter them without my parents understanding I was insulting the guys.


Only an open mind and open heart can be filled with life.
