I enjoy reading your insightful posts but the profanity is not appreciated. I can’t share your posts with my children or friends. My parents always told me profanity was a sign of limited vocabulary. I know you have a wide and deep range of knowledge and you can be better.

Jeff uses that salty language is ALL his posts.

A flawed study to excuse swearing?
I’m sorry I can’t agree with you, but I respect your incorrect opinion. Of course I’m inclined to defend my parents and the way they raised me.

Simple.

Oh, and welcome to DU.

Thanks for the welcome sheshe2!!

My comment is that I can’t share Jeff’s posts with my children, NOT that i disagree. I know how to handle issues.
It seems profanity is that much worse when I consider the source “above that” language and Jeff certainly is that.
Like people that think it’s cute to teach children to swear. Or for me personally when a lady swears.

Just a heads up. I am known among my friends as a champion of foul language if I think the situation warrants it, and sometimes I'm even a little surprised around here. Fasten your seatbelt!

I am not easily offended. I listen carefully to people that disagree with me, they may be the only ones that pay attention to me.
I like spirited conversations, I consider the source.

We're THIS CLOSE to Mussolini.

This is too important to "high road" to hell.

I can agree with your position
I can also disagree both without f-you.

The F word has lost it’s edge but I still find it offensive in daily language. I don’t mind standing alone e/my opinion. Just me, eh?

I never said the profanity hurt me, perhaps you can reread. My issue was not wanting to share the posts with my children.
Snarky comment however.

Now, this was before the internet. But I don't remember either of my parents ever saying to me "I was going to share this (book, article, anecdote) with you, but the guy used profanity, so I'm afraid not. See how he ruined this moment for us?"

I whole heartedly agree with you. Because they didn’t say it to you doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. Parents tend to protect their children. My parents didn’t point it out nor did they intentionally expose me to profanity at a young age either. There are points of view I don’t share with my children because of profanity, not because they’re false or misleading, they’re just plain vulgar.

But then again profanity wasn’t common or welcome in our home, as you point out correctly, pre internet.

I am painfully aware of that. Improvement can happen anytime, even in the famous and popular.

is even better than "weird". It'll make good song lyrics, it's got rhythm.

And with the Deutsch spelling (appropriate for Drumpf), it's not even technically profane.
