I don't think our society has profoundly changed. People in 1952 (when the Nelsons hit the air) certainly used curse words; does anyone want to say Ozzie Nelson never turned the air blue?

Throughout my younger years I never heard even one of the men in our neighborhood use the language now routinely heard in movies and on TV. To do so would have got them blackballed from association from other men of stature in the community. How old are you?

I might also add many of those men were ex football players and WWI and WWII vets.

I'm 41, and there were plenty of men in my L.A. neighborhood who knew how to cuss, in English and in Spanish.
