You're so right on! I've watched this thread get bumped for days and can't understand it This thing should have died a natural death by now but here I am bumping it up again, part of the problem and not the solution.
At least you were smart enough to understand that.
PS I hate to break it to some of you, but stereotypes usually have a basis in truth and are only generalities at most anyway, not absolutes. Many of us believe this one to have a lot of truth to it based on numerous and lengthy experiences, as well as similar thoughts echoed from people whose judgment we trust. You want to disagree, fine, I would just hope it's based on something similarly concrete and not just because the possibility is politically incorrect or upsetting.
I am not trying to offend anyone so please don't take what I am asking wrong. I am just curious. As I meet some of my new neighbors and others along the way from the north east (Mass.,NJ,NY) many of them are very "loose" with very harsh cursing in every other sentence. On the other hand many of them from that same part of the country don't have this at all. Is it common for north eaterners to speak with such fowl language all the time? Oh and I should add normal to sound like they are yelling all the time too?

ROTFLMAO! I don't even have to curse for people to know I'm from Jersey.... I'll admit when I get cut off by a dumb, blind, idiot on I440 I can curse like no one has ever heard.... I even surprise myself. But then again I've met some Virginians here that curse just as good as us..
This has officially become "the thread that would not die"! The bottom line is that in every state, every neighborhood, every ethnic group, economic class, region, etc. there are people who swear, moan, complain, are racist, sexist, elitest, etc. Just as there are great, nice, well spoken people. People are people regardless of where you are from. Human nature prevails...
If you go into your settings, and change the number of posts to 40 per page, it will control the damage to 2 1/2 pages.
Other than that?
You're quite right and thank you!
lmao. i was just going to say the same thing.... there's also this other mechanism for stupid threads. it's called not clicking on the little link that is the thread title... all better!

No question. People from NJ definitely curse more. It might be a stereotype but its also ****ïn true!
I had a boss from New Jersey. He swore like a sailor(when he wasn't upset). I also met a woman from New Jersey. I never heard her once use a swear word. I think it varies.
