This is definitely a "Freddy Krueger" situation. The more attention we pay, the more power it gives them. Cursing is a low for of expression, nothing more. Words shouldn't hurt us. If they do them, we're no better than the rest of the world.
I was once at a kid's softball game when the local police chief came over the p.a, system stating that anyone heard swearing would be instantly arrested. ..........I couldn't help but laugh.

I guess there are not limits on this kind of stuff? Kind of like putting a naked pic on a billboard or something.... there are only a few words that aren't ok in public- so I wouldn't mind them being banned.

Free speech should be as uninfringed as the 2A... the f-word in public should be treated like a hi-cap mag in NYC. :shock:

I should have Google "yelling fire in a theater" it is not illegal, I stand corrected.
