Everyone who uses expletives has to consider the effect their language has on society. It is a sign of being a total dirtbag to swear in public or in front of kids and it goes with uncaring, individualist, irresponsible, feckless selfishness.

Excerpt:
"Max Hastings is wrong to single out just middle-class values as a defence against this. In the working-class community in which I grew up 60 years ago no adult swore at home or in their social life; apart from the occasional expletive. Children who did swear would likely get a clout from a parent. There are still plenty of working-class people who do not regard swearing as acceptable.
