Swearing.
7 Answers
Is Society going downhill with the common use of the 'F' word in normal conversation and films? It is now also becoming more frequently accepted on TV. Mrs.Wildwood still 'jumps' on anyone swearing in her house. I drop one if I was to hammer my thumb or similar, but hate it in normal conversation.
It really is no wonder that the younger generation makes such frequent use gross language, as it must seem normal to them.

I use the f word only if I am very angry or upset, which is not very often. I hate it when people use it every other word. Comedians on TV seem to use it a lot for no good reason. Unfortunately, it does seem to be becoming a normal part of vocabulary. I had to ask my 20-something son not to use the word in front of me, recently.
Times change. You see it as going downhill others see it as being less restricted.
It would be a pity if expletives were uttered every sentence but as per your example there are plenty of times when appropriate. And I think films merely reflect the greater number of situations when it is now accepted.
Anyway things go in cycles. Give it time and the fashion will be not to add them any more.

they are just words.
if you ban them and act upset and shocked by them then you give them the power you hate.
i dont mind swearing though there are times when its inappropriate and irritating and i dont like it when every other word is a swear word - but not because im offended, but because it makes the person seem like an idiot and more hilariously that they are trying to be cool.
all that has happened is that these word have lost most of their power so few are offended by them
