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 ?

While i don't object to swearing per se (unless it is directed AT me), - and I don't like blasphemy....I have noticed the number of words that would have been considered swearing in my childhood that are now to be found coming out of the mouths of those in the media.

I am yet to hear the 'f bomb', but there have been several times that s**t and p**s and the like have been used as part of normal conversation in the media. And if this is now normal is it any wonder that we now notice the 'ambient level' rising?
