I'm a teacher reviewing curriculum for the school district, and I get so frustrated when people get so worked up about one curriculum having a unit on "Ancient Islamic Cultures." They automatically think the unit is pro-Islam and will be brainwashing the kids to join ISIS. I've even had people tell me it's sacrilege and it's how Islam will "take over the United States." I honestly enjoy learning about different cultures and ancient civilizations. We learned about Persia, Babylon, Greece, Rome, Egypt, etc growing up. And learning about those civilizations included studying their religion and culture. I just don't get what the big deal is. I mean, I guess I do, but it still annoys me how crazy people get.
May not be unpopular everywhere, but it definitely is here in South Louisiana!
In college I took a Middle Eastern Culture class and really enjoyed it. One thing that I remember is that the bad people in those cultures do NOT follow their religion or customs and are in the minority. My professor was actually part of a group that tried to overthrow Gaddafi in Libya like 20 years ago and escaped. It was a very interesting class.
Wow those are some pretty strong feelings over a little three letter word that is jokingly used as a term of endearment between two people. I don't think I'll stop sending my DH texts that say "I love you bae" just because it happens to mean poop in a language that neither he nor I speak. Maybe I'll start throwing in the poop emoji just for kicks!
Andplusalso, I don't know anyone who speaks like that IRL or online. If your facebook feed is literally full of teenyboppers that don't know how to formulate proper sentences, it might be time to clean up your "friends" list.
Ummmm. My Facebook feed isn't full of teenyboppers. I have a 15 year old sister and she has friends. And the people on my news feed that do speak like that are unfortunately family by marriage (my SILs SO for example). Andplusalso I didn't realize informing you that that bae means shit was having some "strong feelings." It's just a fact. Just like you are entitled to your opinion that you think using bae is cutesy and silly, I am entitled to think that the word is fucking stupid.
Oh ok well my "opinion" is that describing something as "god awful obnoxious" and "fucking stupid" indicates strong feelings. There's a difference between saying something is dumb and using the verbiage that you did. Also, who gives a fuck if it means poop in a foreign language? Last time I checked this is America and we speak English here.

Last time I checked this wasn't a flame free zone. You posted that in UO thread. Because it's a UO. Rage on with your bad self and your cool word.
Also. That's just the way I speak. I use "fuck" a lot. My dogs farts are God awful and obnoxious smelling. I wouldn't say I have "strong feelings" on his farts. I also think snapchat, for example, is "fucking stupid" but I don't give a shit if someone uses it. Again, definitely would not say I have "strong feelings" against snapchat. I have strong feelings on being pro-vaccinine and I have strong feelings on car seat safety. When I have strong feelings I can promise you I won't come to argument with "fucking stupid."
You honestly are little too butthurt over this. Dude is technically the term used for an infected hair on an elephants bottom. When something stupid pops in my head that I just haaaave to tell someone, you can bet your sweet ass I say "DUDE GUESS WHAT!?" Get over yourself, seriously. There is no need to be so fucking defensive over me giving a definition.
Cool story bro. I suggest you take your own advice and "get over yourself, seriously".

I also took a course in college that studied the similarities and origins of Islam, Christianity, and Judaism. It was one of my favorites and I think it is a great idea to introduce similar courses to kids at a junior high level.
I think words like bae sound stupid coming from people talking in public but I see no reason not to call your SO that. It's kind of a cutesie word of affection and makes total sense for a couple to have terms of endearment for each other. And I wouldn't judge someone for calling their SO that. I have tons of little pet names I call my DH that some would call stupid. Hell he calls them stupid sometimes! Lol
