That forum is great! Who said plastic brilliance is the only alternative. (Must remember to recommend that when someone asks for an alternative forum again...)

When society has children, some as young as 7, being brought up as if swearing were the most natural thing in the world (they just might say '######ing' these days as 'mamma' or 'dadda' with their parents' own mode of language), there is no conception that such language is unaccetable because no one has told them otherwise. They then grow up, bringing their children up in the same manner as is happening now.

When society fails the police pick up the moral baton and run, run like the protectors of civilisation that they are!
