Perhaps the thinking here was similar to the thinking behind

Gordon, how many youngsters would you say visit this newsgroup?

My eight year old son, for one. Probably a few others, but as you
suggest,
not
many. Still, since its not off-limits to the wee ones AND ladies, I
don't
see
it as the same as a forum for, say, just sailors.

My eleven year old nephew and his nine year old sister once every week
or two.

And are either of them unaware of these words? I'm not trying to be a
smartass,
I really am curious. By the time I was 11, I'd certainly heard (and used)
them
many times, with/from friends, family members and others, and children
were (in
some ways) far more naive then than they are now.

Aware? I'm sure they've heard them but I've all but never heard
one of them use one of'm outside of "Ah, you said a bad word",
"What? What did I say?", "You said ____ giggle."
I'm fairly sure that the history & derivation of several of them
are a complete mystery in which they have little interest.

If that's got you worried then don't go looking at what the French have

Only in state schools.

Now if God did/does exist, would they have been a fighter pilot or a bomber
pilot? (he says trying to get the post vaguely back on a RAM theme)

Copilots in whatever they were flying. ;-)

Actually he would be a P-3 driver. Going after those "down below" types.

And the French did not ban all religious symbols, only those of
"unpopular" religions such as Judaism and the Moslem faith.

And the correct term for Air Force types is "zoomies".

Over here it's "crabs".

Al, I thought large crosses (warn around the neck) were also
forbidden. Did I get this wrong?

Certainly an interdiction
mission would require that, but I simply can't conceive of a
methodology that would allow CAS without comm.

Digital CAS (or DCAS), is right around the corner, but Art can't concieve of
DCAS or anything after 1946.

Just as you can't conceive of sitting in a plexiglass nose flying straight and
level through heavy flack while holding a tight formation or flying CAS with
little if any comm with the ground. Tactics change. CAS was treated entirely
different in WW2.

Thank you Guy for raising my consciousness.

Say, that's pretty good deadpan sarcasm ;-)

Being a born-again lesbian, I still seek forgiveness for the occasional
transgression against the tenets of the Holy Mother.

vbg Or, when she's feeling casual, Gaia.

At least that's who they scream at me when I drive past , "Holy MOTHER
........."

H'mm, now I'll have to puzzle out what word belongs there;-)
