Let’s see what other nanny states we can get MacTech to stay away from:
Michigan, where a state legislator was silenced for using the word “vagina”;
Alabama, where you can’t buy a penis-shaped dildo;
Utah, where the liquor laws are really bizarre;
Nebraska, where they don’t allow prostitution;
Arkansas, where you aren’t allowed to own your own nuclear device…
There are a lot of things that are “tiresome to endure”, but I’d say hearing profanity is pretty low on the scale. There’s no such right to be free of such a thing. On the contrary, there IS a right to free speech.
I don’t like hearing racist comments, but I don’t want to ban them. I don’t like Justin Bieber, but I don’t want to ban him either. Children aren’t going to fall apart from hearing a few four-letter words.
You can’t ban everything you find offensive, or “tiresome”. Life would be pretty boring if we did, quite frankly.
Today’s Boston Globe had an editorial cartoon that suggests that New York City can curse for Middleborough people, and Midleborough folks can drink 32 ounce soft drinks on bahalf of New Yorkers. It’s a Cultural Exchange.
I don’t necessarily support a law, but it’s not really too much to keep your voice down when telling your buds how well this chick you picked up last night can suck dick…when there is a family with young kids at the table next to you.
It’s sad that laws have to be passed because some people can’t be polite.
It doesn’t HAVE to be passed at all. People are allowed to be rude, so long as they’re not assaulting you.
I agree, it’s really disgusting. And sadly, it’s not just teens.
You can absolutely buy penis-shaped dildos in Alabama.
People can and will be impolite whether or not they use swear words. You can’t regulate etiquette.
Have you a cite on that?

One of the smartest prodigies in the U.S. if not the world is a nuclear energy genius from Arkansas. He started experimenting with nuclear materials in his garage in Texarkana and become the youngest person ever to achieve nuclear fusion.
He is really a fascinating young man. I recommend the article below if you want to feel dumb:
