Re: Profanity And Racism
I'm not taking sides on this issue, but in regards to the profanity in the military, Back when I stated basic training, Feb 1968, a bunch of us recruits were loaded on a cattle truck to be driven to the Basic training Unit. When the truck stopped, the door was opened and a sergeant, dressed like a "Xmas tree" stepped on and stated
​
Get off my fuckin' truck
​
The baptism of military service. The guy standing next to me, a deeply devout religious person, turned white when he heard this.
He was "white" for the next eight weeks as, it seems that every other word from the drill sergeants was "fuck."

Re: Profanity And Racism
Of course there was humor also. When I about to leave Vietnam, the chaplain gave a lecture on returning home and ended with the line:
​
When sitting at the supper table and asking for someone to pass the bread, don't describe it.

Re: Emotionally Detached Not Lack of Emotion
You mean, do I not swear in front of women? No, I don't "adjust my profanity." I don't live in the 19th century.
​
Some of those of the female persuasion, that I have heard, would make my drill sergeants (1968), blush.

Reality humor.
At least the guy in the cartoon admits to what, probably 90% of adults won't.
