Thats fine if that is your opinion Benny, like I said I agree with 99% of your list. I just don't think cussing is a problem.

Cussing is not the problem, it is a symptom.
I agree that there are degrees, some places it is not as bad as in others.
In public? Not appropriate.
In private? Not necessarily so bad.
Cuss words sometimes make a certain point, deliver some emotions uniquely, however, more often than not there are better words available. Cuss words are usually used for shock value only.
Imagine Obama using them in a speech. It would make people think less of him.

Always amused at the subtle, okay it's not really subtle, racism and the whining about sagging pants.

I find it hilarious that you want to respect others when the first thing you started to whine about was someones fashion. Why can't you respect their fashion?

But hey, I would probably move if LA turned into cesspools like Nashville or Oklahoma City.

The rest of the list was just a bunch of right wing talking points anyways.

I already think less of Obama, but he managed to do that without cussing. I also don't care about sagging pants. I don't sag my pants, but I don't really care if someone else does.

I dont know how that is racism since I am black. I am rough on my own people since I think 1/2 of them are hopelessly self-destructive.

As to the rest of the list being right wing talking points, I have no idea how good manners and not hitting women is a political position unless you are insinuating that democrats have no manners and hit women.

Anyways...

The whole attitude that a city is any more or less "manly" is dumb, and this is coming from a guy who owns firearms, does his own oil changes, and whose biggest financial decision at the moment is "El Camino or Chevelle?"

I'm wondering how you could possible rank LA as "less manly" based on stereotypes than San Francisco, Seattle, Portland, or New York?
