Brooks & Dunn Will Bow Out in 2010

Share

(Newser) – Country music megastars Brooks & Dunn will split up in 2010 after 18 years atop the charts, CMT reports. "We have agreed as a duo that it's time call it a day," Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn, who make up the best-selling duo in country music history, said in a statement on their website. "This ride has been everything and more than we could ever have dreamed."

I will take this rather innocent site which seems to appeal to no one--did you know his name was Kix--to mention the flagging I got for the word fuck. I'm sorry, but fuck is a wonderfully hard sound word which survived its original meaning to become something else. I steal this, but it comes from the word pluck as in my bow. Long bows required strong tensile strength to send the arrows flying. So hundreds of years ago when soldiers were screaming pluck in the heart of battle, it became fuck. Later, someone took the word like any good metaphor and ascribed bow, arrow and quiver to sex. Personally, I always use it as a battle cry--except when I use it to mean intercourse. Reply

This is why I think flagging should be restricted to overt and particularly nasty personal attacks, racism etc. I don't want a completely neutered, kid friendly Newser. Most of the people reading this site are adults and it should be moderated accordingly. As it stands, I believe flagging happens automatically after a certain number of people hit the flag button. According to Newser, they occasionally review flags to see if its abused, but I am not sure if I can place my faith in that system. Have you joined the discussion on what constitutes a valid flag on Facebook? You should join it! Actually don't 'cause theirs a lot of stupid stuff in there. BUT DO BECAUSE YOU'RE REALLY COOL PLEASE.

Oh, and as K-guy said about the flagging: how can I complain about fuck when bitch ass cunt had no problem. Adult site: adult words. And cunt comes from cunny or cubbie or a little nook to hide things. Words are not our enemies--actions are everything that words are not.
