Agreed, many here detest me for the language I sometimes use, the thing 
is, the language I use is readily heard here everynight on primetime tv
I can use it on the street and not get arrested, it is acceptable 
language. Having said that your right in so much as it might be a huge 
no-no in some countries, but as I adhere to what I can do/say in my 
country as thats what legally im bound by, not U.S law, not Icelandic law, 
nor Estonain law, but my countries laws and so long as I dont nreach it, 
thats fine by me :)
