When I was a kid well educated, professional men rarely and ladies never used profanity in public. A pre-teen kid would be straighten out immediately by the near adult. Profanity was never heard at the movies or on the radio, the radio isn't too bad but the movies will burn the hair out of your ears. Bill Cosby never uses profanity in his act, Chris Rock can't say hello without using the F word. Which one is funnier, it's no contest IMHO, which one is well educated, guess. Profanity has simply become socially acceptable and eliminates the need to develop a vocabulary. The total lack of manners starts when the kid is in diapers and the inability of the parents to say "NO" and mean it.
