F-Bomb--The most malicious, hateful word in the English language. It saddens me greatly that it has become such a common part of our vocabulary that it assaults my ears from the table across the way while enjoying a quiet dinner with my husband at a local establishment...and is lightly tossed around like excrement in social media.
Certainly profanity has been mumbled under the breath since man could stub his toe, however, shouldn't profanity be kept for these--the rarest of nefarious circumstances? Must we lower our standards to the basement?
Imagine--swearing used to be a "sin" according to most of the world's religions--and not too long ago. Beyond the theology of our linguistic standards or lack thereof, IS CIVILITY DEAD? Oh well, we get what we tolerate--starting in the home, and then the classroom.
