Joe I am not saying its acceptable...I think its totally unacceptable....what I am saying is that by using that type of language (as on here) and accepting it we are ourselves making it acceptable.
Swearing at the Police.

However Joe gets around the bad language filter whilst claiming swearing is 'totally unacceptable', and yet others get censored for doing the same...
Funny that.......

So you think the judge is right then? I'm disappointed in you Susie.
Joe...have you read my post....'no' I do not think he is right....
But is he not merely reflecting 'societies' acceptance of bad language.
There is a constant stream of bad language used in posts on here ...is that 'right' is that 'acceptable' .
Hmm
Apparently it's ok to swear at the Police because they are used to it.
At least your inconsistencies are consistent...

Yes please I would absolutely love to see them....but only if they are nice cute ones not big fat hairy ones
ooooops I digress...
I know what this forum is I have been here long enough ...... it just proves my point that swearing is now totally accepted by society and is no longer treated as a 'big deal'.

Hey Susie. Let's elope and have a love child.
Joe you are amazing ...you read my mind LOL
Whilst I can accept that for many this forum is an extension of the work place should we not be mindfull of the fact that it is more akin to a site where the public are walking by and bosses are ever present?
Most of my work takes place in peoples' homes, I temper my language to reflect the fact that the client/their kids might walk in at any moment.
I do swear and have no issue with most profanities. All too often though they are debased through excessive use.
I spoke to an on duty policeman the other day, we both used the f word. I would however be unlikely to swear at a policeman. There is a difference between just swearing and swearing at someone- the latter is either a sign of ill education or an act of aggression.
I don't however think that swearing at a policeman, in and of itself should constitute a crime in all cases. For example if I am pushed by a policeman (without reasonable cause) I should have the right to retort "don't act like such as effing bully", this is quite different to saying "you are an effing bully".
That said the police/nobody should not have to endure aggressive swearing and to suggest that the fact that they hear it day in day out should not be grounds for it being acceptable.
On an aside- I listen to radio 4 at work, why is it acceptable for radio stations aimed at the educated to permit swearing?
