Hogwash. How is it disrespectful?

Proverbs 15:2

"The tongue of the wise uses knowledge rightly, But the mouth of fools pours forth foolishness."

As I said before, you're a fool if you use that language, especially around people that don't want to hear it.

BTW, I gather from your previous posts that you are not very old. Am I correct?

Non-sequitur. Listen to a speech by Hillary Clinton or Ted Kennedy. Very few expletives. Much foolishness.

Expletives =/ foolishness.

Older'n most humans. Getting creaky and ready to retire... 35.

Hmmmm..... Another passage that can be interpreted several ways. Swear words are not foolish, per se. Depending on the context, they can be the best way to get one's point across.

Does a drill sargeant act foolishly when he uses vulgar language to beat a point into his recruits' heads?
