was about the F word and you incorrectly widened to all swearing. The F word used to be high on the offensive scale, now it is like the D or H word was when I was young. What's the next offensive word that will become cool in our society? How about using "because" instead "or". I.e., society got coarser, because the internet created anonymity and allowed people to attack without looking anybody in the eye. You know nothing about me yet you assume I'm not progressing. That's just ignorant. I have lived all over the world and heard all kinds of swearing on a daily basis. Sometimes certain swear words can be funny, but the F word still goes over the line for me. I roll with the punches and don't lecture, but I have had employees in TX complain about the overuse of the F word by east coast colleagues who thought it was tough and cool. Where did caring about my approval ever enter these threads? I only wanted to get across my opinion. Finally this, this whole thread started with the Coastal video teaching kids to say FU. That's fine if you think it's no big deal, but I see it as an indicator of where society has become more coarse and less civil. Only age can provide that kind of perspective.
