[QUOTE="Thunderfoot, post: 3492856, member: 34175"] And from the other side of the fence.... I hate profanity, it is infantile, crude and frankly if you aren't smart enough to figure out a less 'base' way of speaking, you aren't worth my time. I live in what is "affectionately" known as the 'hood'. If you aren't familiar with US slang, that would be the low income, less ethincally diverse, crime challenged, drug friendly living space. The lack of intelligent conversation and the profuse profanity of some of my neighbors raises the hair on the back of my neck, but then so do the dead bodies in the dumpster across the street. In spite of that I have raised an 18 ear old boy that has learned to be respectful of elders (usually), young women (or he gets beaten), his peers, strangers and anyone else he meets; he is kind (for the most part), fair minded and has spoken only five curse words in my hearing to this day and three of those times it was under the 'ask first' policy. (Ask me what it means or if its bad and you get a free pass so you can learn what it means and why you shouldn't say it.) The other two times he blew bubbles for a few minutes (he got his mouth washed out with soap). It is a choice, a dirty, filthy habit, that can be broken. I was in the military for 8 years and rock bands for many before that, I know how to, I can be inventive with usage, I can tell you origins both literaly and historically, but I simply refuse to say them and I think I'm better for it. I usually can ignore the random word, when your vocabulary cannot grow beyond them, I usually have a discussion, regadless of whether I know you or not. Has it gotten me in trouble, occasionally, do I feel better for it, you bet! :D [/QUOTE]
