SWEARING AT WORK IS OK?????????
And people wonder why we as a country are going to (Insert Colorful Metaphor) in a hand basket!!

Come on AMERICA wake up!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!
Try talking to members of The Greatest Generation this country has ever seen and ask them if they think swearing at the office is acceptable!! We are becoming a country that accepts lower standards, we are Dummying down our schools, and trying to be so PC that we have lost sight of what made AMERICA GREAT!!!!!

These kinds of studies just prove my point. It is conducted by another book smart person who lives in a word of “let’s make everyone happy and all be PC”.

Someone is going to read this and call me conservative, or make some reference to my being
this, that or the other thing..to them I say congratulations, and thank you for proving my point about dummying down our population! It’s so much easier to make a stupid (can’t say smart-aleck as that would imply intelligence) comment, than to make a logical argument for using foul language in a work place.

Yeah. I don’t think you used enough capital letters in your comment. Or enough consecutive question and exclamation marks.

I agree. I was diagnosed with PTSD or Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder 10 years ago, due to having been physically abused. When these people, parents and spouse, abused me, it was preceded by foul cursing, and also during. Thankfully, I’m away from that abuse now, but every time I hear this cursing, I develop such horrible flashbacks from the abuse, due to the association to it, that I have to leave the room. In those 10 years since I was diagnosed, I have continued to try to keep at least 15 jobs, and due to the continual cursing in these workplaces, I just was not able to cope, nor be productive, and asking people niceley to stop just didn’t help. I would run out the door crying and screaming. People would say “I’m not in diapers anymore so no ones going to tell me what I can and can’t say”, etc. I am finally on disability, as I just gave up trying to find an employer who would accomodate my disability, the PTSD, by not enforcing not swearing. I miss working, but I don’t miss the foul language.

Use of Foul language is a crutch for those who can’t remember more descriptive or better words.
I hate people using foul language in my presence and it is even worse when it is from a woman’s mouth,
I view the use of foul language as an indicator of a low intelligence and poor breeding.
