I dont mean to be a prude, but does anybody else out there find the amount of swearing going on in public places increasing. You go out to dinner and its everywhere. Has respect for other people vanished. I let out the occasional one out myself, but I cant handle it in front of children and even the elderly. People dont care. What do you think ?

I agree Kaz. Just to highlight some of the extremes:
I've overheard many a conversation (If you can call it that) and arguments, where just about every second word is the f word. Apart from being insulted myself at having to hear such waste of expression, I can't help but thinking that it's no wonder these people have a problem with communication as they really aren't saying much. For example a couple of youths were arguing and seriously most of the words in their sentence was the f word! They actually weren't really SAYING much at all. How can they settle any disputes when nothing's actually being said!?
I have funny thoughts as: Imagine if the f word and other profanities were suddenly removed for a day from their brains, either one of two things would happen. ONE: nothing (they're suddenly mute) or TWO: they're amazed at how well they are getting along with others. LOL
But seriously, I feel it does show not only a lack of respect for others, but a lack of respect for themselves.
