By definition, vulgarity involves words or behavior that violate good taste, usually involving slang for body functions or body parts. While such language was once reserved for private conversations and disreputable establishments, today it is becoming acceptable in the public arena.

The Internet has only exacerbated the problem. When people communicate online, sometimes anonymously, they may type words they would never utter in person.

The music industry has also changed in the past decade. Under pressure in 1990, music executives agreed to voluntarily label explicit content. Regrettably, the warnings have become a drawing card for many teens. A Federal Trade Commission study last summer showed that 85 percent of children ages 13-16 who attempted to buy music labeled “explicit” made the purchase without being questioned. One vulgar-laden album in 2000 became the fastest-selling hip-hop compact disc in history, selling 5 million copies in two months.

In the 1950s, TV standards forbade the use of toilet and pregnant on the airwaves. Times have changed.

And we ban their way of life. We ensure that the only language allowed for all government discourse is of course Elitest Highbrow Intellectury, which of course takes five lawyers to write and five thousand lawyers to interpret. That should solve our Vulgarian problem!!!
