: As for vulgar language I disagree ther--I am dissguted by those that regually use such languaugebecasue it is very indicative of the state of mind the person is in. Vulgar language is the equivalent of t grunts and the like in animals--comes from the same primal part of the brain. : However, I must admit that on occasion I have found it neccessary to utilize the F-word as emphasis when trying to pass directions on to those who don't understand something unless it is punctuated in langguage they can understand(back in high scholl one summer, I was the crew leader for a landscaping crew and half mym workers woulodn't do a damn thing I told them to do unless I rasied my voice and punctuated my coomands with the f-word. Apparently that was the only way they knew I was being serious) : Maverick
