Oh how I miss the good old United States of America where we were free.

Back in the good old United States, using profane or obscene language in public got you jail time.

Gimme a break!
1) I am apparently not THAT old
2) I hardly consider BS that profane or obscene
3) This language was not used in "public" it was written at the bottom of a check.

I have seen and heard profane and obscene language used in public - on the streets of our nations capital to be exact. I find signs and chants saying, "F--K Bush" and "Bush $uck$" far more offensive than BS written at the bottom of a check that 99.9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999% of the country would never see.

And in the new, conquered USA many things Christ centered will get you the same unless it's used as a form of cursing.

True, and that (along with the possibility of getting an anonymous arse-kicking) helped instill a certain quality of mutual respect, which is oft missing today.
