But if the man refused, Gerfast should have complained to the management . . . not start wrestling with him over the cell phone. While his motives may have been good, I would be pissed as hell if some old guy tried this on me!

So, go run to "Mommy" when they act like a-holes?

I would have taken the damn phone and tried to give him an enema with it. And I don't care how "Pissed" anyone gets. You assault my ears with your profanity, I'm gonna assault your head with my fist.

You have no "right" to sit and carry on like that in a public place. Your "rights" end at the tip of my nose or my eardrums; then, you're mine.

Many here complain about how "litigious" everyone has gotten, and how there is no common sense about how things are solved and how fast things ratchet out of control. (a 10 year old in Philly being handcuffed and "arrested" for bringing a pair of scissors to school.)

But when confronted with a reality like this, the first knee-jerk reaction is to run to the Nanny, just like everyone else, thereby perpetuating a system that is idiotic.

A little well placed violence could, and would, bring this run-a-muck society back into some semblance of politeness.

Go gettum Gramps.

And when you punch someone for swearing, you will go to jail. I doubt that you will be able to do much about the swearing you encounter there.

You have a right not to be assaulted. You do NOT have a right NOT to be offended.

Swinging at someone for language where I live can get you shot, but you are welcome to try.

"You assault my ears with your profanity, I'm gonna assault your head with my fist."

I guess you and a few others on this thread have never heard the children's saying "Sticks and stones can break my bones but words can never hurt me."

Funny how children have more sense than adults sometimes. BTW, assault someone with your fists and go to jail. If you think this is smart, one has to wonder why your mama didn't teach you better?

You have no "right" not to be offended by foul language.
