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 ?

I agree that the level of swearing is completely over the top at times. I notice it more now because I am a teacher and have to stop my students swearing in class (even though I do swear myself occasionally - just not in class!), but even so it seems at times that swear words are used as punctuation.
I was on the train the other day, and was very uncomfortable listening to the conversation from people on the next set of seats (I can't effing believe that she effing likes that guy! That's so effing crap!) etc. There was a reason that there were empty seats next to this woman, even though the train was starting to become crowded!
