I have a sense of humor and am not easily offended. The maturity comes in when you figure out what is appropriate to post in public and what is not.
I agree, and if one's Facebook page is public, than I would consider it a public forum; not if it's a private page that only your network of friends and cohorts with similar interests have access to.
As long as you aren't involved in any serious criminal activity or saying or doing something to hurt someone, it shouldn't be an issue.

Exactly.
I post pictures of places I go, I go to hookah bars/regular bars. I post quotes on things my friends say...after all it is my FRIENDS, who I know IRL, who I am sharing this with. If I a whole church full of nuns or preschoolers who were friended on my page THEN I might have to watch what I say.
Not everything has to be appropriate for children or old people.
We need to stop worrying about offending people, its going to happen no matter what you do, so why be bland and very PC about everything when its going to happen no matter what. People also need to stop acting like they are the only people in the world and they can't co-exist with others who might be a bit more crude in the jokes they make.
Yes. It seems most people over the age of 40 aren't really familiar with appropriate social networking etiquette (neither are many teenagers, to be honest), and for whatever reason, they'll even type things on your wall that they wouldn't even say to you in person.
THIS is an amusing statement. I think the over 40 set is pretty well aware of social networking etiquette. It's the under 20 set that needs some fixing.

No I think it is the older generation who feels the need to be PC about everything and feels like everything has to be appropriate for children or the elderly and that no one should be outwardly "mature" with the content they say and that everyone should give off this prudish, everyone-friendly persona and its the younger generation who realises that you can't please everyone and that being PC is pretty stupid.

Well if that's how you see things, go ahead and friend your mom and grandma and whoever else. You don't care what you say or who you offend or what people think, so why not add them as friends and offend them too?

Lol, I don't know. I'm constantly seeing "older" folks make odd posts on Facebook. It's never anything distasteful, but just one of those "Mom/Dad, why would you type that for everyone to see?" type of comments.

Being PC is totally different than thinking someone shouldn't act like a lowlife.

And posting jokes that you make with your own age friends on a website where your friends are your age does not make you a low life.
Like last night I quoted a convo between my friends and I.
I was trying to stick my nose stud back in and without thinking, I said in frustration, I can't find the damn hole and my friend said back...that's what he said... it was pretty funny.
He also said something about taking his cousins out to which I replied, you go out with your cousins?
THIS is the kind of stuff I am talking about.
We're 18-24 years old, we're not going to talk about knitting and daisies.

Dingdingding!!!
I'm absolutely non-PC.
And yet I realize that there is a sense of appropriateness that comes with the trait of maturity.
