After seeing a video of people eating chocolate ice cream out of a standard size toilet in a midwestern restaurant, I was finally convinced this country is metaphorically going down the crapper.
Also, on that menu there's Orange Turd sorbet served in a golden shitter, according to one wit on X where I saw the video.
If the Italians are known for having bad tempers, then Americans should be known for being course and rude in our conversations.
Especially when it comes to politics. There are no barriers in a war of words where loathsome nicknames and hateful accusations are hurled every day.
Even normal conversations in public and social media are often so crude and rude they get out of hand and result in violence.
We have a presidential nominee who's in court for paying hush money to a porn star (while married) and being known for his infamous quote about "grabbing pussies whenever he wants."
In Congress a female GOP member of the House brought in and displayed fully nude photos of the president's son during a public hearing.
At some point numbness kicks in.
As the conversations continue to grow increasingly disgusting Americans are turning blind eyes to stories like a female member of Congress caught groping her date and vaping during a performance of a Beetlejuice musical.
The presence of course language starts early. Children mimic what their parents say and how they say it.
In fairness, people also have different opinions about which terms are okay and which are offensive.
What's not complicated is the fact that people just don't seem to care anymore. Taking the high road to a conversation and not using foul language is becoming a casualty in our culture.
As it Stands, it's sad that this is how far we've sunk as a civilized society.
