Sorry, but no.

Objecting to profanity is more of a religious thing. Foul mouths are an American past-time.


I disagree. Public figures should be able to conduct themselves without having to cover a child's ears.

I disagree. It's 2016 - those children will see/hear significantly worse than a bit of potty-mouth regardless of what's said on TV. You can choose, in what I believe to be willful obliviousness, to live in the past and by all rights you are allowed, but you will be left behind.

Ru-B0 is turning into the Beav.

"Gosh, darn it! Reagan was the bestest most greatest President ever. If the next President is only 25 percent as good as Reagan, then be he'd really swell."

Your future consists of fuck and pussy being said left and right in politics?

These idiots think morality is the most important part of a president's persona, actually it's creating economic growth.

Education wasn't mentioned once tonight. The GOP has no idea how to improve the economy. This is so sad.

It was - but only when Carson said the very idea of free college was economically impossible.

Well, I strongly disagree with you that politics will go that way. We can revisit this thread in 20 years.

You seem to keep missing my point. I don't care if it does or doesn't and have zero preference either way - I believe in free speech and think people can say what they wish to say and that imposing silly rules of decorum died with chivalry.

"Okay, Ben. We're going to let you go on now. Speak your mind."

"Wait. Why is everyone leaving?"
"It's good, Ben."
*click*
"Why did you turn the lights off?"
"It's okay, Ben. It's your time to shine."
*clunk*
"Did you just lock the doors? .....hello.... hello...."

I know your point and I disagree with it. Decorum will always be a part of culture. it is your view that profanity will be pervasive in politics in the future and I disagree with that.

I can simply nod and say we can agree to disagree, that this "decorum" you speak of is only shown to the public and I assure you the Politicians you refer to speak just like you and I when not on TV. Regardless of the fact that you cannot seem to understand I have not once said that I think profanity will be pervasive and that you continue to try to put those words in my mouth when my entire argument is wholly about free speech - your opinion on this matter certainly does not make me think ill of you at all.

I'm willing to concede and let you snag the last word on this matter if you wish, but I think I have nothing more to add than that.

lol @ these CBS commentators. Apparently the worst thing anyone did during this debate was Trump telling the truth for once, regarding Dubya.
