You know, this says a lot about our society when this is considered "shocking" and a "bad example." Especially considering it's just one word.

it doesent matter to me about any word someone says to me as long as its not said in anger.

also Obama had to apologise to some women reporter for calling her 'Sweetie' wtf is with that? how is 'sweetie' insulting?

I believe it is found to be patronising (when said by a man to a woman)

If anything, it's a compliment to the women.

If people have sex, decapitate other people, or swear on TV/silver screen (usually in a fictional movie)....it's ok. When one news anchor slips...it's news. What idiotic double standards we adhere to.

[Chief Stubbs]

To quote Anthrax in their novelty song "Startin' Up A Posse", "Censorship's against/Everything America stands for". I mean, honestly, it's just a word. Ever hear of freedom of speech?
And as for religious reasons, it might be considered a sin to curse, but nowhere in the Bible does it mention any specific definitions of cursing, so...

I love that I scanned that entire article and they didn't list the word said.

I think that's about all that needs to be said of how pathetic this is.

Yes, let's make a huge deal out of a simple human error.

Everyone swears. You shouldn't judge anchors by higher standards because they're on TV.

Psycho feministas have spent a lot of time and effort convincing those suffering from misplaced guilt otherwise.

It wasn't, it was just once again a person using something innocent (and in my eyes, quite kind considering other things girls have been called or could be) to gain the spotlight and make some ruckus. Imagine a national tragedy striking, not something small, but something huge. That would put our priorities back in order. While people are starving on the street we should not be worrying about how offensive "sweetie" is.

If sweetie is offensive, I'm suing Grandma.

This is retarded, if you're watching tv at 10:30 at night, you should be over the age of 13, and probably have heard worse than that at school.
