Foul or offensive language?

[ken_sylvania]

I think there are a lot of variables. If there are women and children around would be one of them...

The idea that women and children ought to be protected from hearing cursing and swearing intrigues me. Somehow it seems to imply that men can "handle" foul language better than women and children. Can they?

That has puzzled me as well.

Its something called "chivalry" so I'm told.

My father, prior to becoming a Christian, according to mom, constantly would swear in normal conversation. She would mention it to him and he would deny doing it. The day after he was born again he was at his job and out came a swear word. The Holy Spirit immediately convicted him and he dropped to his knees and repented and from that day forward his language was swearing free. A story that I love to tell of how God can transform a person.

Prior to retiring from golf a couple years ago, I golfed with a fellow that swore after almost every shot he took. This guy had a similar problem to what my father had before conversion. It was interesting how around women his swearing came to a halt so he did have a degree of control over it. Also interesting was other golfers that were not Christians would sometimes get tired of hearing his swearing and tell him to 'quit his f _ _ _ _ _ _ swearing'. And sometimes this worked for awhile.

One day he let out the Lord's name in one of his disgusting moments and I said (can't remember the exact words) that 'Jesus Christ was my Lord and Saviour too'. He apologized and from that day on I recall he was more careful with his swear words.

I have also found over the years that the more I am outspoken about my faith in Christ, the less the unsaved swear around me. Has this been the same experience of others ?

I wouldn't say I'm particular outspoken about my faith, but even folks that generally use foul language tend to knock off the swearing when talking to me. Or if they do swear they immediately apologize. I've wondered sometimes how that is, that even on a phone conversation people seem to sense that I don't appreciate foul language and react accordingly.

There are clients who will bring their friends in to work. People I have never discussed religion or spirituality with. It's interesting when they tell their friends to watch their mouth around our shop.

For a large and prominent part of the population, definitely including women+children, profanity, foul and offensive language AND ACTS, are not only normalized, but often highly profitable. hollywood, music, sports figures lead. It’s been a problem for decades, there have been some major efforts to attempt to restrain. but. It’s hurtful. Painful. And, “everyday” for so many. Including women and children.

This week, i was sickened to see HRC and Chelsea elevating and honoring a seriously horrific example.
It’s important to be realistic. These evil things are extremely profitable. $$$$

Christians need to be aware of their neighbors. These are our neighbors.
Our children and grandchildren are swimming in these waters. A mature person can easily ignore, refuse to be sucked into it.
Children and young people will have a harder time - no matter how much they instinctively sense wrong, no matter how hurt they are.

It hurts. It harms. There is no escape, but there is denial. Even in children.

For those who vote for it. Please stop.

We've most likely all been in a public or workplace environment where someone is using foul language. Maybe you have a tolerance for bad words, but draw the line when using the Lord's name in vain. Maybe you have a tough skin and just let it go. Hopefully no one here has a habitual "potty mouth."

Vote and discuss as needed.

i do as my elders did, which matches what Signtist and others describe. ^^
Patiently refusing to engage in foul language, role modeling, is the best response. One on one, it gets results!
Not always the ideal response, but an impact is made.

i’m horrified at what i regularly hear out of college-degreed, priviledged, well-employed females.

It’s important to recognize the torrent of for-profit evil that’s out there, greedily targeting consumers, including children.
It’s important to recognize the acceptance and even promotion within gov schools.

How to convince people to stop buying??! (No profits, it would go away.)

^^ i’m asking mods to remove the video. it’s too disgusting. it’s “women” being foul, for profit and politics.
be aware what’s going on, your young ones will see it. someone will make sure of that. it can be found on an internet search.

i tried to remove it. too late.

i do not accept lib females/feminists as representative of women.
they have become odd creatures intent on being some form of their best imitation of what they believe men to be (typically, low+crass). this is stated in this video, her “song” is her attempt to out-crass male rappers. HRC+Chelsea admire+fawn her efforts.

in my view, this is not representative of authentic God-created women.

When involving those over whom I have no influence or authority, I simply ignore it. If I am in some way a mentor or otherwise have authority I will say something.
