    Usually, I'm against censorship in this way like the movie "Demolition Man" but the things I hear riding the bus and walking down the street is just shocking. Mostly young teens and homeless of all races literally using the F-bomb every other word in a casual conversation and with young kids present. If you say something they get this attitude like "who are you?". No cop, no stop!

    I'm afraid this is what it's going to take to fix the problem. I blame comedians and rappers for this. Yes and you too Eddie Murphy!
