Perhaps I feel that profanity shouldn't be devalued from what it was originally intended to be. I think that Ironically you are arguing for profanity to lose the meaning that it has. I think that profanity is intended to be words that have extra kick to them. To be used in certain situations to emphasize a point more then a less sharp word.

So you are absolutely correct that if the whole world decided today that profanity is no longer vulgar and is just the same as normal speech then there would be no issues with it. But it's not. I feel that people still should only use profanity in situations where they are intending their speech to be emphasized, hence why I said that I think a Breaking Bad level of profanity for example, (about 1 F word an episode) is acceptable but more then that is not.

I think that.....most people agree with this. That profanity is intended to be different from other words. Until everyone agrees that is not the case profanity will still be viewed as vulgar.



I hope that you understand what I am saying
