Quoted:
IMO adults who do this around their own children are complete trash. I understand if you have no children you might not know how to turn it off in public but personally even before I had a child I did my best not to use any foul language around children. I have a 5 year old and understand you cannot shelter her from every bad thing out there but last night their was a family sitting beside of us at chic-fila and they were relentless with dropping F bombs every 2 minutes and they had 2 little ones with them. What do you do in this situation? Your second paragraph is why I don't censor myself in front of kids (mine or others). I grew up in a very strict christian household, and I started using profanity regardless... I'm not blind from the fact that kids will hear it whether from me or someone else. As for your question; I would continue my meal, and go on with my life jimmies unrustled and panties unwadded... |

Sometimes things just happen and just be sure to apologize if you do. It shows people you're not perfect and how to handle mistakes when you make them. A lot worse can happen in life then a kid to hear a bad word.

No. And not around women either.
Ladies and children should not hear this from men. I have to hear it from other men in the group before I use that language. In my younger days especially in the Army, my language was so bad I wondered if I would be able to speak English again.

I try not use profanity in front of children, or in public either but nobody's perfect. I live right next door to a Pizza Hut, and my driveway is close to their parking lot. I was under my truck changing the oil and oil filter one day when...
The oily filter full of dirty hot oil slipped out of my hand and doused my face, glasses and shirt with oil. I let out a string of more curse words than I had spoken in all of the previous year combined, as I quickly crawled out from under my truck to get the oil out of my eyes. As I stood up, I saw a woman with 3 small kids standing in the parking lot staring at me. The woman just said "you should be ashamed of yourself"! I was still pissed, but responded with a sincere apology for saying such bad words in front of her and her children. She smiled and said "apology accepted, and there were a couple in there that I've never heard before". |

People that curse a lot in regular conversation come off as low end to me. I curse from time to time, like anyone, but if you're constantly dropping the F bomb...well it doesn't sound good. My girlfriend never curses and I couldn't respect her more. Its very lady like.

Not sure what thread you are reading but its pretty easy to delineate this recurring theme by even the most casual observer. Im not sure why i woud be irritatated its not as if these types of opinions/requests have any bearing on my behavior

You asserted, in effect, that anyone who curses is inarticulate. Which aside from being factually incorrect, would be considered a slight as well. It's also bullshit. 
Your comments come off as snobbish. ETA - I mentioned your username because you would be the first person I've ever met to use the word bro, but not curse at all. |

I rarely, almost never do around kids. Mine or otherwise. Once in a while something will slip out of anger around mine. About the only time I curse is at work. Fairly common there. Shit, my kiddo climbs down my throat if I say ass.

Usually not.

Now, if I'm hanging out with friends and those friends have their kids around...odds are my friends have sworn around their own kids so much that nothing I say is going to surprise them. ETA: I'm a professional engineer, and I've been swearing in quantity since 3rd grade. The "only dumb people swear" elitists can go fuck a pineapple. |

My kids both go to military school so I wont see them all that much. Some of the stuff that comes out of there mouths makes do a double take, and I thought I was a pro when it comes to profanity. Most parents think their children, especially boys (maybe from 3rd to 6th grade) are little angels. They never spent any time with them on the playground at school. South Park is an accurate depiction of how young boys talk amongst themselves. |

Think you were aiming for "Profanity is the final bastion of the inarticulate" but your smug got in the fucking way.
There's a difference between profanity and vulgarity. And profanity, used properly, enriches language. There are very few words that can convey such a vast array of meaning dependent on inflection, placement, repetition and situation. A single utterance of the word "fuck" can convey resignation, anger, exasperation, pain, surprise... All dependent on the inflection. But go ahead and stick with your "feeble brain unable to express itself forcibly" thing. I'm obviously totally fucking illiterate and incapable of communication in any kind other than grunts and shit flinging. Quote HistoryQuoted:
