That is a uniform characteristic of Leftists. They apparently think it is edgy or hip to curse at every opportunity.

I once was like that, especially when I was in the Navy. I developed very bad habits that took me years to break, and while I have largely succeeded through deliberate attention to the problem, I still involuntarily backslide on occasion.

But the thing is, I know it is wrong, I know it is counterproductive, I know it makes people uncomfortable, and I know it serves no useful purpose, so I vow to do better each time I slip.

Leftists have no such governor. As a matter of fact, it is encouraged in their circles. It must give them some kind of “cred” in their minds.

I see it as weakness.

Gratuitious profanity has always annoyed me.

I don't mind it when used in the proper context. Such as hitting your thumb with a hammer or telling some bawdy jokes with the guys over some beers.

But people that use it all the time in normal conversation make me cringe.
