But its me... hey if people dont like thats their business. Im not out here to impress anyone or try to get anyone. I have my college education, career, kids and husband. Im not worried about what people think.

    I'll admit it. I drop F bombs. I use all seven of the words George Carlin talked about (Google it youngins). I like to cuss. Why? No real reason. I enjoy it for the same reason I enjoy watching basketball or hanging out with friends or sleeping late. It's fun. I know many people are offended by salty language. They think it shows a lack of intelligence or a limited vocabulary. That's a load of crap. I am college educated with a degree in journalism, so I have a very good vocabulary. I'm not Stephen Hawking, but I never rode the short bus to school either.

    If you don't like "bad" language, don't use it. But please don't try to force your ideals on the rest of us. Regardless of whether we are talking about cuss words or abortion or gun control or our favorite color, we all have the right to our own thoughts and choices and actions. I won't cuss AT someone who doesn't like it, but I also won't moderate my language just in case someone might get offended. In my opinion, the world is WAY too PC right now and WAY too concerned with making sure no one gets their feelings hurt.

    No real point to this post. Just late night venting. Have a great night people!

    ^^ YES!

    I am very good at turning the filter on and off, depending on who I am around. I am 35 years old and still wont say anything worse than '@$$' or 'damn' in front of my mom. If I'm around friends, it sounds like that old wav file of the "FWord"... F the F'ing F'ers... But that does not mean I am not educated (degree in computer science with a minor in journalism) or ignorant.

    I have no problem with people expressing themselves, as long as they do not try to force their views on me.

    it's an extension of language and even culture and shouldn't be measured as negative thing when used in context. In many languages, swear words are assimilated in casual conversation, but when directed at an individual, they magically become 'salty'.

    On a personal level, I drop f bombs ALL the time when with friends or work colleagues, but never ever ever, not even " $**t" around my mom or sister..ever.
