51. Profanity can be a very effective way to make a point
The use of foul language does not equate to a lack of intelligence. It can be consciously utilized to make a specific point. It can be a source of caustic humor. It can serve as an exclamation point. It can harshly and coarsely express feelings that cannot be expressed in any other way.

It is part of free speech, whether you like it or not.

If you really want to avoid exposure to it, use your ignore button on those who have a propensity for cursing.
