...In real life, expletives are often used as a form of aggression or cruelty. A co-worker who tells you to Trump yourself is usually being unpleasant. A co-worker who does this every day is often creating a hostile or demeaning work environment. Language suitable for decent company is a form of politeness, which is a species of respect, which is an expression of morality. And if I am the last holdout on this issue, so be it. I don't really give a damn.
Win or lose, Trump has brought the language and sensibilities of cable TV to presidential politics...

No he didn’t. Watch the video. He was eating it up.
WaPo is shocked, shocked!
I don’t remember them getting upset at Hillary’s potty mouth in the ‘90s. Every other word was the f-word.
I didn’t know that p*ssy was a curse word.
If he did or he didn’t... I’m not too concerned. All you guys watch Hollywood movies right? Do you plug your ears?
You hit the ten ring, game over you win!
Did he call anyone a F###ing Jew?
Every issue is not in this category, but this issue has two extremes. Both are very bad.
Churchill: “The art of diplomacy is telling plain truths without giving offense.”
“We have grasped the mystery of the atom and rejected the Sermon on the Mount... The world has achieved brilliance without wisdom, power without conscience. Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants.” =Omar Bradley
“Republics are created by the virtue, public spirit, and intelligence of the citizens. They fall, when the wise are banished from the public councils, because they dare to be honest, and the profligate are rewarded, because they flatter the people, in order to betray them.” —Joseph Story
The vapors!
There is NO REASON to believe that Gerson is gay.
If you wouldn’t use it in church...
Sure. Ignorant people build real estate empires while the smart ones become columnists for the Washington Post.

LOL! It’s okay!
Not yet.
I wouldn’t say a lot of things in church, but that doesn’t make it a curse word.
Depends. My dad was a veteran of both world wars, and he never swore or used any racial epithets.
He drank, smoked, and got married a lot (for the time), but he would never, ever swear.
(I might swear like a sailor but I don't drink or smoke, and have been married to one woman for over 30 years. Pick your own poison.)
“I’m for Trump because of immigration and trade and foreign policy, but I REALLY don’t like his crudity”
Same here. I’m worried how this will play out in the South, where his combativeness, confidence and raw patriotism will serve him well. Vulgarity outside of a stag audience will not.
He should watch the new True Grit and Val Kilmer in Tombstone to get a feel for how we do it down here. Not to imitate but to get the feel. “Good day” and “Bless your heart” are ultimate dismissals when inflected just so.
And please, don’t fake our faith. There is enough of that going on already. It’s better to secular but honest than religious and theatrical.
lol. Exactly.
