I really haven't heard it in such places here. But I often heard it on TV. Sad; IMO.

Every generation complains about the next generation. Didn't your parents complain about your hair and say your music was from the devil?

I love it...younger....40's. Frankly, there are times when the Fbomb is the only word/bomb that satisfies the emotion or needed expression.

A continuous stream of it is a bit much though.

Oh sure I have heard it all. But then, their perspective is not the same as people my age, in their mid 50's. Standards of morality and manners have been rewritten and revised daily, as whim and social philosophy ride impulsive currents. So they don't care if such things are viewed as improper by us. Right now, the world is only about them.

I am an RN working in the NICU of an acute care hospital. The parents of our babies often present with a very entitled & disrespectful attitude. Having had a newborn in the NICU myself, I understand the extreme stress that they are under & am sympathetic. However when they tell me that they "looked it up on the internet & I'm wrong" it is hard to know what to do or say. Clearly dialogue is not invited.

I think the internet has bred a generation who believes that they posess all knowledge, therefore respect for a professional goes right out the window.

Really, I do know what I'm doing & I'm here to help! That's why I got out of bed this morning!

As a matter of fact, my mother wasn't too happy when I closed the bedroom door, lit the incense, and blasted this song Country Joe & the Fish –

But those were the good old days. Well, at least for me.
