"Unconstitutionally vague". The comments to the entry contain a link to Carlin's "Seven Words" routine, of course. :)

How do you feel about swearing? Obviously, I do it all the fuckin' time. Although I do tone it down around kids. Except sometimes in concert, where I don't give a shit. Hi, Mom!

But, seriously. Do you think society is made worse by use of certain words? Or a certain quantity of certain words? And, if so, what words, and why? How about nudity, full or partial, and/or sexual acts? How about all the violence on TV, in all its myriad forms? Should that be subject to greater scrutiny?

I think Douglas Adams was quite right and "Belgium" really should enter the lexicon of swearing.
