I suppose I would have to say I do care. I care that it would offend others, like women and children, especially. All fellow users of the same roads/trails I use.

At the local VFW it never bothers me at the language that is sometimes used there, up until a woman or child is present. At that point, I do step in. (Yeah, I do remember what it was like in a combat zone, where it is pretty universally accepted.)

To me, it fits in the same groove........... it's just crass! MHO

p.s. why should it bother anyone if a twink, fatty, smelly, or Russian bear is shirtless, if others are accepted - some are hanging onto a double standard.
