and it's been said my avatar is offensive

Funny how you sidestepped the question of feelings of abandonment while giving your childhood background

Why would I have abandonment issues if my parents are still married and I still see them often?

and you know nothing of "my" world so you would find it fascinating or would you?

I can imagine it must be quite complex.

I always found it a shortcoming when one must use profanity to express one's self in an intellegent conversation

I do not know what I find more tragic. That you find this an intelligent conversation or the inability to find humor in profanity.

I think George Carlin is a genius, and his use of profanity to color his speach is artful. I simply do not share your view on profanity.
