Don't Know The Words Song

[tazclone]

-Infinity

The OP asked what we sang. I stated what I sang by agreeing with someone that stated "I don't care." I have sang "I don't care" from 90' until this day. Same as my friends, my wife, and her friends. Never heard the other version, ever. I can swear with the best of them so it isn't becuase cursing offends me.

Not sure why you had to respond with a smarta$$ remark like -infinity. I didn't say one was better than the other just what I sang and still sing.

Moral of the story is this: ******* is a word... just a word... if it offends you to the point where you need to talk to the university/band over a group of students singing it as part of one of their songs, it's probably time you took up a hobby.

Also, if you believe if society accepted singing the word '*******' as the norm, this would then therefore lead to one day students cannibalizing each other (which is the logical 'slippery slope' next step), you might want to consider a career in conservative talk radio.

Not to sound to pompous/preachy or anything, but I teach the kids I work with (and my own kids) that words aren't inherently bad, and it's not a horrible thing if you say a swear word. But, I tell them to be smart about the time and place in which they use them. I guess everyone just needs to ask themselves if they think Hilton Coliseum, in public, is the right time or place.

(I may have failed on the pompous/preachy thing...:wink

Within the student section, I see it as fine. If you're sitting next to a family, or in ear shot of children, then it's probably not. I don't think that the student section alone is that noticeable over the band, especially at JTS.

Actually, a parent with kids age 5-10 I know says he knows what the students are saying, but it's not coherently audible to his kids.

I think that's pretty fair. I know I have to have an awareness at games (both in person and on TV) so I don't scream that Ed Hightower or (insert ref name here) is a bleepity bleeping bleeper.

Just to add to this, I have cringed this year when I've heard "BS" chants clearly on TV, thinking my kids would have questions. They haven't noticed, but they will. It will be a teaching moment.

Hell, I sat right on the edge of the student section last year and didn't think it was all that auidible.
