I admire this young man

Submitted by Mary (not verified) on Fri, 03/07/2008 - 02:29.
I admire this young man immensely and hope this starts a return to common courtesy and respect for everyone. Just because "everyone does it" doesn't make it right. There are a lot of us who find this language rude, crude, and vulgar. I also have a problem with the reporters who put expletives (no matter how they are covered up and abreviated, etc) in the story about this young man. That shows a lot of disrespect and sarcasm about this subject. I was told growing up that bad language was a sign of ignorance. The person cursing did not have a vocabulary large enough to express himself without vulgar words. Although cursing has become common place in our society, it still shows a lack of education and respect for society
