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 ?

We are in the midst of a social breakdown, a breakdown that shows as a disregard for the wellbeing of others. Such manifested disrespect, like any offense, begins where common sense and polite behaviour part. Swearing is the result of the failure to educate in areas of communication that allows one to convey with adequate clarity the intended effect. This intended effect has become so casual as to be an irreversible verbal diatribe of disrespect and that without consideration of the consequence or personal offense that decent people still are entitled to.
When such disrespect is so blatently obvious, especially through the likes of swearing, we have lost the glue that would otherwise hold society together and keep it and those who are apart of it from the natural likelihood of a much greater offense, which is to ignore the innocence that all are entitled to.
