Are there some old fuddy-duddies who actually think that younger people need to be protected from words like arse* and shag? If so, they must have been living on another planet for quite some time. Was it perhaps the suggestion that prayer doesn&#039;t work? Apart from the fact that prayer not working has been established by scientific experiment, and can also be disproven just by applying a few statistics, it is also been the case that ABofCs do tend to have a rather sceptical view of Christianity that is on a rather higher intellectual plane than that of the sheep. Still, we can be encouraged by the fact that the last few remaining Christians can be sent into a panicky tailspin over something as mild and inoffensive as this.

*There is and interesting inconsistency regarding radio edits of pop songs when it comes to this word. It was edited out of the song Misfit by Amy Studt but left in the song National Express by The Divine Comedy. The Americanism &#039;Ass&#039; was edited out of Get the Party Started when Pink sang it but was left in when the song was covered by Shirly Bassey.|EMAIL|elizabeth@iww1967.wanadoo.co.uk|IP-ADDRESS|95.150.29.96|MODERATIONFLAG|
