>Fun is not always the best determinant factor in living responsibly.

Then why live if you're just going to deprive yourself of fun?

>I contend that those feelings can, with an adequate knowledge of the language, be expressed just as clearly using alternate words.

And I think thats wrong. A TRUE knowledge of the language would mean you respect someone for qualifying the depth of their feelings with an explitive, and not judging one of their words as simply profane and possibly dismissing the entire statement.

Doug was accusing someone of being closed-minded. Well, isn't saying that using a forceful word to accuractly express ones thoughts is "profane" in all cases closed minded?

>The application of that decision across the board to all utterances in any place, public or private, is not valid.

I undestand that, but you did say "in public" and "using those words", which is what the court case was about.
