This is really foul, and the C word is unfortunately used....

But the passion this kid has is great. Hopefully this is the next generation figuring it all out as to how the right wing is screwing them..

Once again if you’re offended by really horrible language don’t watch... But perhaps this guy will
help rid Penn. of this sack of crap...He’s on point about what Corbet has done to Public Schools among other things...

Please tell me if its too much... I will delete if I get the feeling it doesn’t work at all..

Men have been using that word against other men for quite some time. Glassunion Feb 2014 #3

to bag on Corbett. There are hundreds of other derogatory words that don't involve gender slurs. Why not use one of them?

IIRC Frederic Manning wrote a book (the name escapes me), where I recall the term used a few time throughout to describe men. If I recall that book was written in the 1920s.

Then there was Trainspotting, you'll lose count on that one.

On my last trip to the UK, I barley made it out of Heathrow when I heard the word. Its use in the UK is quite different, and holds almost the same uses as the f word here.

I cannot speak for this guys use of the word, nor the contents as I cannot play it back on my phone at the moment. But, we are not in the UK, the word holds a completely different meaning here, which is quite vulgar.

In England, for example, the word is applied to both men and women. In Spanish the word is "cono" (I don't know how to make the symbol over the "n&quot , and it is likewise non-specific with regard to gender.

Certainly not effective for mature Progressives.. But perhaps kids his age ( Not equipped with proper verbiage skills) will follow this kid into the voting booths and I’ll take that..

Boy, the right wing has millions of these types and much older all over the internet... They seem very effective reaching out to their own by amping them up.. Perhaps we need this type of out reach to the young ones who might be getting it now... Amp them up and get them voting...
