    Well I struggle to take you guys seriously when you get your knickers all in a twist because you heard a swear.

    I do get that it detracts from your ability to hear the message because you are so busy clutching your pearls in offended-snowflake outrage at the 'bad language' that you stop paying any attention to what the person is saying.
    Pleading feigned shock/horror at swearing is their way of avoiding reality, namely that the surviving victims of Parkland such as Hogg are demanding action against the endemic gun violence in the USA. This is something the gentle Christian-folk of the US just don't want to hear.

      Perhaps we happen to know how such language ruins good dialogue. We perhaps can't take people with potty mouths seriously.
      She passed the Starlight test. Pretty much, Starlight disapproval is a stamp of approval since he’s wrong about pretty much everything.

      Personally, I find those that need to express themselves with 4-5 letter words usually have a small vocabulary and lack intelligence. Again though, since he’s wrong about basically everything that means his disapproval makes it true.

        It’s always amusing to hear those that don’t live in reality spout nonsense. We have better odds of being struck by lightening or attacked by a shark than being a victim in a school shooting. Who needs facts though when the lie serves a better purpose?

          You guys are such drama queens. Not liking profanity, and thinking it's not necessary in public, is nowhere near the same as "feigning shock/horror". You're so full of crap.

            As someone who believes strong language has its place, I also believe that using it excessively is unhelpful and borderline stupid, much like the over-use of exclamation points!!!! I mean, it doesn't really bother me! But gosh it's annoying!!!!!!

              Given the gravity of the issue of school shootings, the infamous Campolo quote comes to mind ("you're more upset that I said !@#$")...
              "I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

                Number of fatal US shark attacks in 2017: 53
                Number of US lightning fatalities last year: 16
                School shooting victims last year: 15

                long-term average number of US lightning deaths per year: 44
                School shooting victims so far this year: 40

                The odds of being struck by lightning vs being shot at school may have been better in the past, but probably not now. It's likely that school shootings will be higher than both shark attacks and lightning strikes this year.

                  I think it is good he is cussing like that. It stops his speeches from being broadcast. It would just sound like a series of bleeps. He only hurts himself.

                    Well, you'd also have to be IN school to be shot there, so.... There's a HUGE part of the population that doesn't even get into the numbers.

                        It amazes me the things liberals will rush in to defend.

                          Starlight and Tass seem to forget that it isn't conservatives who required that "safe spaces" be made to accommodate them whenever something doesn't go their way. Or established speech codes so as not to have their delicate sensibilities offended.

                            yep.

                            David Hogg might be related to Tony Beets!

                              I'm one who uses an occasional naughty word for emphasis and shock purposes (and has never been accused of having a poor vocabulary) but if you use them as much as other folks use a coma then they lose all value and serve to expose you as being little more than a churlish vulgarian and will have many folks tuning you out after your second or third use of coarse language.
