IIRC there was a guy in Pittsburgh who had one of those "F-Biden" signs (a big one too) hanging on the front of his house. His neighbors were ticked. Not because of it's put down of Biden, but the "F" word was out there for all the neighbor kids to see.

When I was growing up a sign like that would almost certainly cause a visit from all the local fathers to reason with the owner and explain why they thought it would be a good idea to remove it from anywhere the thing could be seen by the local kids. Of course, that was back in the day when men would also remind their fellow man to keep their language clean around women and children. Just like with most of our rights, the right to free speech should come with some responsibilities if we a to have a civil society.... civil society Apparently the neighbors tried that. But the guy essentially gave them the one finger salute.

He will be the first to ask for help needs it and will whine about the neighbors not caring.

The f word where everyone uses it then gets offended when someone else uses it too. The kids use it at school hear it at home then the parents get mad when someone uses it in front of their kids. Yeah a lot of hypocrisy with the "F" word.

True. Last year we took our then 4yo granddaughter to a local park. There were a group of kids there from a daycare who were playing on the equipment.
So, one of the girls wanted to do something else and ask the group to come along with her. Apparently they were happy where they were. This pre-school girl then let out a tirade that would make a Navy man blush. She dropped the F bomb a minimum of a dozen times, called them dumb-a$$'s, Mother-F's and combinations I've never heard before.
My wife and I were shocked to hear this come from a 4-5yo little girl. We figure she didn't get that at day care. Luck our granddaughter was far enough away she didn't hear it.

Yeah a lot of hypocrisy with the "F" word. Do you use it at home stroupy? Do you use it when speaking with your customers? Do you allow your kids to use the word? Are you more careful of your speech around the young, the old and the "fairer sex'? BTW, I feel the same for people who are in the habit of using the Lord's name in vain as part of friendly conversation.

...and anyone who hangs a F--- Joe Biden, of even FJB, banner from their home or anywhere else should be considered an ignorant, vulgar creature of some description, In my humble opinion, of course. The same for the tailgate pics of a tied up president of the United States I would say the same if I ever saw the same directed at trump-I have yet to see one so far. You’re being kind Rusty! My mom’s neighbor has a huge “F Biden & F You If You Voted For Him” banner draped across his front porch. It really bothers mom. It’s right at an elementary school bus stop to top it off. Several local churches asked him to remove the banner but he refused. IMO this is one mentality deranged SOB plus the stupid arse doesn’t realize that such arsehole displays actually turns voters away from Trump! LOL

Little wonder the group looks so favorably upon trump's vulgarity.

Yeah, Biden voters are so righteous and proper, only the Trumpkins say such bad things. When they burn cities, riot and loot I bet the say "gosh Darnit" a lot.

Those "F" signs posted for all to see are a display of just how low Trump supporters will go. Could you imagine a sign like that begin posted in the 40's, 50's or even 60's?

It would never have happened. Shows how low our society has become. If it occurs on both sides, it should stop, but it won't tho. So tired of the lack of decency

Funny story... Other day was taking my 3 oldest grandkids(ages 5 & 8) to a local library's craft/education event on plants. I was obeying the speed limit & a driver passed me in a "no passing" zone. I spouted out "DUMB ASS"!! All 3 grandkids yelled from the back seat: "Pap....Mommy said not use that bad word!!" Really humbled the Mrs & me and made me feel good that they were at least getting Godly guidance at home. Even an ole Pap can learn from these blessed lil children!!

My daughter is almost 21 and I rarely swear in front of her. I don't think I have ever used the f word in front of her. Not that she doesn't hear it at college, among friends and family gatherings. I know some other parents I know regularly drop F bombs in front of children under 10 and even drop F bombs at each other in front of their children.

My sons have not heard me cuss more than maybe 3 or 4 time in their lives. We have never heard it from my wife. I have never heard any of my sons swear, but I don't doubt that their buddies have. It was the same in the home I grew up in, 3 brothers, 3 sisters and me and I only heard my mom swear once and never heard it from Dad. Our big family get together are pretty much the same. My friends, especially the guy I have worked building houses and remodeling for almost 40 years has heard some colorful language pass my lips more often than I should allow. It was like it was part of our vocabulary when customers were not within earshot. It's not a huge deal but things were more pleasant when we were not constantly exposed to F this, F that, F you, F me. It's an effin' shame what we've become.

These people that display banners or bumper stickers that say F Biden are incredibly low class. I don't even want to be associated with these people. That word is way to overused and not something we should be promoting. It's disgusting. I love this post!

I remember 1982 or 83 when the unemployment rate was 11%. Steel mills closed and never reopened. Billy Joel wrote a classic song, Allentown, which said is clearly what we were going thru. It TRULY pizzes me off when I hear the whining of how bad things are today, when we still have labor shortages. Shut up, and be thankful it is "so bad." I am pizzed, truly. You look in the past too much. We are to learn from that and get better. I look to the future that's all that matters. They sat on their hands with inflation and I'm supposed to just give them a pass? No it doesn't work like that. You didn't live thru it, if you had, you'd know how much better today is. Oh, and I forgot the recession after the 1973 oil shock. The reason I compare the past with today is because I and other guys on here lived it, and appreciate the better times of today. Ridiculous to say today is bad.

Ridiculous to say today is bad. Gas and inflation say that to the people with empty cuboards and putting 5 dollars in their gas tanks at a time. I look at the other pumps everytime gas goes up and giggle when I see the 5's and 8's. Take a look around next time you fill up I bet there is one there.

In the winter of '73 I was a gas station jockey. The "gas shortage" (what a scam) was going on then. We had cars lined up for blocks to get their tanks from 3/4 full to full.
I had one old fellow pull in (amazing what I remember from then) with a Dodge. Dodge cars had side fills and rear fills behind the license plates. I pull the plate down, removed the cap and had gasoline running out of the tank!! I managed to squeeze in about 3/4 of a gallon of gas. It was cold as heck that day as well.
People were crazy....nothing has changed!!!
