Facebook executive Sheryl Sandberg and the Girls Scouts recently declared a campaign to "Ban Bossy," complete with Beyonce, Jane Lynch, and Condoleezza Rice on video, a website full of tips, and thousands of fans who pledged to stamp out that "B" word for girls.

SO, TRYING TO BAN WORDS SHOULD NOT BE CALLED BEING BOSSY?..lol

is that her point or what?

Isn't the banning of words something that the thought-police do?

lol @ thought police

or people feeling 'entitled' to edit the American English language,,,,for OTHERS,,lol

Beyonc� want to ban calling people bossy yet she has lyrics that say now down btiches in one of her songs?
Stay classy Beyonc� that's really setting a great example.

as amazing a talent as Beyonc� is , I have to agree with you on that one

'bossy' is pretty tame compared to the other b word,,,

As an American born in Canada to Italian parents I want to ban these words:

W.op
Dago
Gu.ido
Goombah
Greaseball
Canook

Thank you in advance for your support.

Such simple pleasures for such simple minds. But being intelligence was long ago stamped out for those simple minds, why not just feed them a little more indoctrination.

Beyonce, Lynch and Rice are but symbols of just how easy it is to control all those little indoctrinated minds. So why shouldn't the entitlement crowd believe that would be a matter worth considering. Of course those with even a smidgen of intelligence would correctly deduct that the girl scouts are not the atmosphere where their daughter should associate.

But to assume that the simple minds that would even consider the question could actually answer it would reflect on the one asking as to why one would suspect otherwise.

Would you be referring to the Odumboite entitlement crowd or Odumbo and his cronies?

Entitled and edit, mutually exclusive. To edit requires the intelligence to discern the root and application of words, not really their forte.

Then don't use them, done.

lol, good luck with that,,,

the language is there for a reason, to make it clear of the mindset of others,,,,,without such words we may never KNOW the bigot in front of our face is a bigot,,,lol
