If you ask them to cool it, they say, "F-YOU!!" in front of your kids.
Hit him, go to jail. He knows it. I have been nose to nose with these creeps, trying to get them to throw punch number one in front of witnesses, but they're cowards.
They even wear t-shirts out here that say "Mother F--er!!" in huge letters. My wife came out of a religious store here in San Diego Friday, and we were greeted with a 20 something wearing a black t-shirt that had "MOTHER F---er!!" as the punch line in 2 inch tall letters.
I didn't see it, I was going to our other car. (We were getting First Holy Communion gifts for my daughter, of all things, while she was at shchool.)
My wife said "that shirt is really not appropriate to wear in public."
The scum's reaction? "Then don't look!"
Some of this society needs a 5.56mm enema.
We've opened the public sphere to private behavior--not just cussing-- and made the private public.
Courtesy is in decline. Public places have become arenas and people impose themselves by cussing, barking into cell phones, playing radios, etc. It all seems related; we are losing our identity as a people.
