Deep Thoughcicles

So, Firefly is causing me to think about some major things and I feel the need to blog about them.

Thoughts:
If I were to actually say (or even tweet) half of the things I was thinking sometimes, I would probably be absolutely hated by people. I tend to have very strong opinions I just know how to hold my tounge. So people think I'm overly quiet. Would they really rather I not be? I am not saying I always think things like that. I rarely think things that are really mean its just my opinions. So If i were to offend people. I certainly wouldnt mean to.

Society:
Society these days really determines what is "appropriate." Swearing, sex, and things such as that. I was watching the Saturday Night Live Backstage Special yesterday and they were talking about how in the 70s they couldn't say "sucks" or "penis" on tv. The second one is still a bit uncommon on tv but even children's shows are saying "sucks." I tend to refer a lot to this time I heard the All-American Rejects song "Gives You Hell" playing right next to the toys section in Target. I understand there are many people who beleive that is not really a bad word due to its religious meaning but do we really want children to think its okay to use it whenever? I admit I do swear sometimes but I don't do it consitantly. I hear high schoolers swearing all the time in most cases its just to say a bad word. Heck, even teachers have given up on resisting swearing in class. Its interersting to me. I never swore until 8th grade (aside from once when I was little and my grandma used to say "crap" all the time but I dont actually remember it my mom has just told me the story many times) and now I hear little 2nd and 3rd graders swearing worse that I do now. It's horrible. I think its fascinating how much society and the media affects what is okay in the world.


Well those are my random deep thoughtcicles for the day. Back to Firefly! Apparently, my reaction tweets are entertaining the older fans of it!
