I just don't see why the world needs profane language. In my mind, it's a simple question of morality, more than anything.

Many, many years ago, so I've been told, it was considered extremely rude for a gentleman to wear a hat in a public building, such as a town hall, a school, library, etc... Of course, things have changed since then. Now people think that's ridiculous.

But if we keep going on like we are now, the same things will happen with our profane language. We may think it's rude or "profane," but our next generation will think that we are being completely ridiculous. It will be a sad day when I hear, say, a 5-year old, dropping the F-bomb.

I just don't see why you wouldn't want to sound more sophisticated.

Well, that's where the opinion really takes a deeper impact. Some people really just don't care to be sophisticated. I'll be sophisticated, but leisure. Some friends of mine just don't care at all about being like that. It's not a personality they wish to be. Keep in mind that some of them are some of the smartest people I know in their age range (all of which are about a year younger than me). They just don't have any concern for that kind of lifestyle and for that I support them. If it works, don't fix it, right?
