The topic and comments that I have so far read are symptoms of the decay of our language. Profanity takes the name in vain. Obscenity refers to bodily functions and 'I'll know it when I see it.' A vulgarity is merely 'common' speech. In every case offense, like beauty, lies in the eye of the beholder. In this day and age of hyperbolic speech, a good 'curse' cuts through a lot of PC bull shit.

Yes, it's too bad that so many are completely unable to make the distinctions, and yet they all think they have something to say. Someone once said that profanity is the crutch of the conversational cripple. Okay, well, perhaps it's better to have a crutch and actually get around than to be proud of being a cripple.
