Well, if he was the VP, he would be considered chique and humorous.

Guess we are getting so ‘sensitive’ that one cannot criticize or question anothers job or business.....

Welcome to Big Brother - pretty soon there will be ‘cuss jars’ on every street corner..

Every state has laws against obscene language. In nine U.S. states, it is illegal to use profanity in public or on the telephone, as it is intimidating and threatening.

Though profanity convictions are rare, profanity can have unpleasant consequences. People charged with disorderly conduct often find their language introduced as evidence against them.

Acceptance of profanity evolves over time. What was once a bad word may now be common language. However, cursing is still not considered socially acceptable. ABC’s John Stossel reports 48% of Americans are still offended by profanity (http://abcnews.go.com/2020/US/story?id=1578043&page=2).
