I didn't address this in my previous comment, but to clarify the case I referenced was a supreme court ruling; Do you have a comment now knowing this?
In Cohen v. California, 403 U.S. 15 (1971), the Supreme Court established that the government generally cannot criminalize the display of profane words in public places.
Language isn't how that is accomplished. People not understanding that words can't hurt them is how that is accomplished. I am going to leave you with the following, if you don't want to respond to it, feel free not to.
In short, ‘perception is projection’ means that we each project your own attitudes, behavior and beliefs onto others. The world is YOUR own mirror!
A wise man once said;
“The only genuinely true thing is that, for better or for worse, we each get to decide how we see and interpret things.”
How you interpret this idea will determine whether you like it, dislike it, agree or disagree with it. Fact.
Everything we see is neutral, but we have no neutral thoughts about what we see. The thoughts we have about the situations we face will determine how we perceive our situations. All situations are empty space until we decide what they mean to us!
The world is what you think of it. Change your thoughts and you change the world. What you believe will be mirrored in what you see. If you believe there are no good opportunities in life, you will inevitably find a way to prove yourself right.
If you believe that you can grow and improve, you will. If you believe that no-one can be trusted, you’ll trust no-one and likewise, no-one will trust you.
Life is difficult when you believe it must be difficult.
I can tell you, from both personal experience, and professional experience (I was a career correction officer), that the use of vulgar/profane language has a profound effect on one's mental state, and can be an indication of (or precedent to) neurological degradation.
You are arguing that I'm leaning "liberal," when, I am staunchly conservative.
The case law surrounding "Cohen v California" was decided in favor of California in an appellate court, and reversed by the Supreme Court by a narrow margin -- 5-4. Justice John Harlan announced the majority opinion of the SC. While it may be difficult to determine Harlan's political leanings, his decisions/opinions were frequently liberal. I think if I researched more of the justices, I'd find similar leanings corroborating the manner they voted.
Yes, I believe the ruling was wrong. I've already pointed out my use of the Declaration as a legal standard. The SC ruling enables a corrosion of public decency by associating the "right" to use vulgar language with the First Amendment, at the same time it ignores the rights of decent citizens to go about their lives "happily." It basically spit in the face of decent Americans, and rewarded the behavior of people who enjoy being anti-social, with no restrictions or caveats.
I also am aware of the subversive efforts of the music industry and Hollywood to corrupt society with this type of language, as well as porn, promiscuity, etc. If you dig deep enough, you'll find the dirt on this. I'm as conservative as they come, but I realize I can't fight this tide of language change. But let me put it this way: I would be one of the citizens throwing a match on the pile at Bebel Square. When SHTF, I'll be one of the ones fighting for the America that used to be.

I’m going to hard disagree with you on your language assertion. I’m fluent with mental health, disease and NLP.
I’m not interested in arguing that, I am more curious about your opinion about the Supreme Court ruling. Was the Supreme Court wrong?

Well I appreciate the response despite not seeing eye to eye.
I would like to leave this because it’s a great example on how this specific issue is a problem.
This gentleman goes to various towns and stands on public property with a sign that says “God Bless the homeless vets” and spreads that message.
He’s been arrested for this several times because it bothers people. Imagine being arrested for holding a sign saying god bless the homeless vets…
Notice the officer doesn’t investigate anything and just takes the word of the person who called.
