Doesn't that happen already? It's happened since I can remember. Do you show up for a job interview dressed like you just came back from a survival trip in the desert? The phrase dress to impress applies for many things. Job interviews and funerals for example.
99% of the time I wear jeans and a T-shirt. I don't dress that way for formal occasions. Nor to I cuss at those occasions. Do you know why? Because everyone involved would judge me as a clueless no class white trash guy.
Job interviews and school are the only exception then, otherwise in public most people just dress whatever they want to be and sometimes I even see some nudity in the clothing and never do I see going after it...
But nobody said humans were supposed to work properly, we have misfunctioned as a species ever since we started.
I never said you have to like it or cause at every rant you make, but just tolerate it...
Is funny how we get conditioned to least harmful of things as a whole...
I just said though if someone wants to risk saying whatever the hell they want, there will be consequences, not that this will scare anyone off eventually.
LOL we tolerate it every time we go to a Walmart or a McDonalds. Just as we tolerate unruly children with no discipline as well as bad drivers and other things.
Would I hire a contractor that showed up to do a job estimate if he cussed like a drunken sailor in front of my wife? NO, if his restraint is that low, why would I assume he has any discipline at all?
Would I respect a teacher who cusses in a parent teacher meeting? LOL Hell no.
I have been on flights with Teenagers cussing like bandits. I tolerated it, but wondered how their parents felt about it.
I have been to a ball game where teenagers not only cussed by were crude and vulgar in front of my 7 year old son. That I didn't tolerate.
Normally by adulthood we learn to be civil in our actions as well as the language we use.

But children are not animals, they are human beings just like you, I think society thinks that they can get away with over-authorizing children no matter what... The more lenient the better a child could learn to approach responsibility.

And that's fine, we stigmatize drug use, we stigmatize smoking, so why should cussing be given a pass, right?
I think censorship of the airwaves needs to go. There's no reason that FM radio and television shouldn't be able to say the F word or the S word. There's no reason nudity or sexual content shouldn't be allowed. Everything has a rating and parents can not let their kids watch if they don't want them to see it. With everything being accessible on the Internet these days, the obscenity laws have outlived their usefulness. However there likely would be a sharp backlash by the religious right if there was any talk of overturning them. In fact, one of the ways they want to take control of the entertainment industry is to strengthen those laws to enforce more family-oriented programming.
In terms of everyday life, there is a setting for profanity and there's a setting to be professional, and profanity isn't professional.

Exactly! Brillant post!
Yes, especially if you're a PE teacher example do you really want to cuss with your students? Or would you rather teach them good sportsmanship?
Cussing can set a bad example for a lot of things, however we should still be able to just cuss out to get something out of our chest
PC culture and the religious right are the biggest threats currently to free speech, both parties use free speech as a scapegoat, you know?
Swearing is low class. So is starting an identical thread to one that was locked. What is your stupid obsession with this subject?
So I don't have the right to protest something I am not satisfied with? And what are you so concerned with? Fat acceptance is alright, but cussing is not...
I used to have a problem when I'd be out in public wih my young kids and morons around me would start cussing. I don't mean a few curse words. Eff this, eff that, etc. etc. Now that my kids are 17 and 18, we listen to Eminem music unedited together. LOL Not sure what that says about me.
What I find personally funny about this is that we as adults are the ones who decided it was "profanity", yet in hypocritical fashion, we're the ones using it the most.
IMHO, a word is a word. "What the heck" means the same thing as "what the hell" as does "**********" and "F this". If anything, profanity has a more passionate effect than the non curse versions.
