The F word should't be vulgar. It is only vulger if we think of Sex as dirty.

I think you are just wrong about that.

I don't think sex is dirty but I do believe that there is language that may be OK in the locker room that I don't choose to listen to in front of my parents and grandchildren. The F word happens to be one of those words. Hollywood thinks it sells. They may be right but not in my case. I don't buy their movies with foul language in them and I don't watch them on television either. This is just a piece of my problem with Hollywood - they have given up story telling in favor of car chases, explosions, simulated sex, violence and foul language. If story telling was still the goal, a little of the latter would go a long way instead of being the focus.

Why are 'curse words' 'foul.' Why is 'ass' any more foul than say butt or fanny? Why is f*ck any more foul than the words sex or intercourse? Why is crap any worse than dung or poop?
