It's true that uneducated boors use gutter language. It's also true that
educated, intelligent, literate people use "gutter language". Or are you
saying that VP Cheney is an uneducated boor for using the "F-word" on
the Senate floor?

Of course, it's also true that people who like to paint users of "gutter
language" are uneducated boors are the ones who apparently get to decide
which words constitute "gutter language" and which ones don't.

It amazes me that anyone of an IQ with more than two digits can believe,
for
example, that "feces" is acceptable while "****" is not, when the two
words
describe the exact same substance.
