Some people will try to make any argument, no matter how wrong or illogical, in order to get what they want. Somehow, not surprisingly, in Florida a law was actually passed that made vulgarity a misdemeanor, an arrestable offense.

They absolutely should have been allowed to be as low class and vulgar as they chose. This is America! People who don’t wish to read his vulgarity or listen to her foul language have no rights at all….the only people who count are the ones who bring filth to society.
Certainly a lady using the F word at the top of her lungs in public and encouraging her underage son to flaunt his grubby vocabulary adds a great deal of value to mankind. I’m surprised that brilliant pair with their very expressive verbal lexicon have not found a cure for cancer or a way to end world hunger.
