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 ?

The use of swearing has definately become more acceptable in todays society but like you I still cringe when profanities are expressed in front of the eldery (for whom we should all have more respect) and young children (who do not need to see profanity as an acceptable way of expressing one self). Like most I am guilty of swearing but I do have self control and respect for others - what a pity the Y Generation have lost this.
