Am I The Only One Disturbed by Vulgar Language?

Absolutely Jackie. And that is one thing that Ameriscot does not seem to to for anyone that may disagree with her attitude. If Ameriscot does not care what I post then why is she still posting hate notes on my forum personal site. Ameriscot if you don't care, then just shut up for once. There is more than just one idea in this world that is worthy of seeing or hearing.
And for you Jackie, I just don't understand why you are stepping in where nothing was written to or about you.
If you don't like my so called hate note then stop with the personal insults. How is okay for you to insult people, but not for us to rebut?
Your opinions are set in stone. Yet you accuse me and others of being opinionated.
BobF, If the only rebuttal you have is a personal attack, then perhaps you ought not do any posting until such time as you gain a lot more ability to play nicely with others.

Girls! Girls! You are all very pretty! Holy $&#%, talk about getting off topic
With my kids I taught them early on that there is a time and place for vulgarity...definitely not in front of your grandfather. I mean my son will be playing video games beside me. He uses a headset and is talking to friends playing the game on the screen. Some of the language I didn't know until my early twenties...goodness me. But he doesn't talk like that normally, so I just try not to cringe.

Back to Ameriscot's theme of language, I used to watch football (Assoc. Football - soccer) with a guy who has the filthiest mouth of anyone I've ever known. I got so used to it I have found myself since those days cussing out Liverpool and -- today -- Man U when I wanted Crystal Palace to win. I get tickled at myself but that doesn't mean I don't wish I'd stop.

I've spent well over 40 years in the engineering/construction industry. And, I will bet you $100 you can not find one person who has heard me use a swear word. I enjoy the English language and can find enough proper terms to insult someone without resorting to gutter language. When I hear these folks, male and female, who cannot utter a sentence without lacing it with foul language... immediately, I form a pretty negative opinion of them.
I've even had workers removed from jobsites for the use of foul language. If a crew is working in a residential area, there is no way I will tolerate the shouting of words that could cause distress to the people living there.
I am greatly offended by those who drive through store parking lots with loud rap music blaring obscenities from their autos. And... I have no problem telling them that. (Will probably result in me getting beat up or worse someday.)
Red Skelton and other early comedians could make us laugh without todays vulgarities. Even Archie Bunker in his rude manner got our goat without lacing the 'All In The Family' dialogue with foul language.
A few years ago, a certain crew was on one of my jobsites for a few months. As their work was completed and they were being moved to another location, the foreman came into my office trailer. "I just want to say I noticed something odd about you during our working together. I don't believe I've ever heard you cuss." I told him he was correct, that I did not use foul language. He said it became most noticeable when I would be involved in a rather heated exchange with workers and explain my position with words that made sense, not enemies. I told him I appreciated his comments.

At one time I worked in an office and there was a young lady temporarily working with us who used to swear like the dickens, every second word was effin this or effin that, in normal conversation that didn't really need the added expletives. She told us she lived in a certain part of town which I knew to be rather 'rough' so I attribute this to the people she associated with and maybe her upbringing. I'm not against the odd curse word here and there on occasion, but this was really going too far.
Some people aren't very well read and their vocabulary might be limited, plus they might have some anger issues that they need to express now and then. Sometimes a bit of cursing can be cathartic too, to a degree.

My brother is one that drops f bombs with abandon. Does'nt really bother me.. I curse a bluestreak when I hurt myself or when I get really frustrated if having poor luck with a project. I scream wordlessly and throw together a several minute long diatribe of nonsensical curse words and other expletives, works just fine for stress relief!
Well, Bob, you seem to have gotten several panties in a wad.
As to the topic, when in a "spirited discussion" if I am told to go perform an anatomically impossible act upon myself, I say, "Cool". Because that means I win (if score is being kept) or it means that the other person is of the type that "feels" things rather than "knowing" them. And, when their view point becomes indefensible logically - their feelings get hurt and the react at the only level they are capable of.
There seems to be some responses of that type (without the profanity) in these discussions.

Hmmm, therapissed asks, how does one finally differentiate between feeling things and knowing them? Doesn't experiencing an epiphany involve more than a mentat approach? I would think balance is the key. I am not looking for an argument here, but clarity. Always ready and willing to learn.

Well, if youse can't play nicely, youse can all go root a boot. :grin:
This is what brought me so much grief. Ameriscot completely wrong in saying I attacked her when it was Ameriscot that created a false charge about me. How stupid of the post I linked to. As of this accusation I had not attacked anything in UK or elsewhere. Anyone really interested in who is causing unnecessary grief on this thread can go back to #42 and before to find some truth. I guess not blindly agreeing to the far left idea of right and wrong is enough to be charged with being a criminal minded person.

Should I read this left to right or right to left?
On the original page of the forum there is a box called 'Notifications'. Sometimes folks put really hateful comments in there and I get chewed out for being defensive about notes left there. Should folks really want to post such nonsense they should do so honestly and publicly. Instead I get trashed out secretly and then blamed openly for resisting. Not only that, I get trashed by several others than don't have anything known about what is happening. That does not sound like the best way to be acting either.
This is usually a good forum but for some that don't follow the forums guidelines about honesty and fairness to all. Several folks no longer post on this forum and have left me notes about why they have left. Similar to what is happening to me today. Sorry as I have liked this forum for some time now and intend to outlive unnecessary nonsense if allowed.

Yes, you can say I should not have called someone to be narrow minded. Look to #42 and you will see I have been accused of doing something I have not done by your number one friend. I have never accused UK of anything and no reason to do so. If being accused of being a narrow minded person was wrong then why the out of order response for them.
