Come now Habib, profanity is profanity and even little kids can determine what is a profane word, so let us not try to be over diplomatic here to the point of compromising common sense. As a parent, would you like your kids using profanity towards anyone, even if they are grown? I do not know about you, but no one can debate away whether a profane word actually means something else. We have to be able to be truthful with each other or we are just engaged in self delusion.Whateer other issues there are surrounding this, I still say that profanity has no place in intelligent discussion, and I will advice anyone against it just in the same manner I will advice my kinds against it.
