Insect Conductivity - language?

The first big TV bleep I saw was a 1970's Saturday Night Live skit while I was doing summer work in what could be called a fundamentalist area of the country. It was Chevy Chase doing "Church of the Confused". They put up the "Experiencing Technical Difficulties" card and everything. Just zapped the whole segment after the first five seconds. Amusing more than shocking. I respected their choice and could live with it even though I really liked the skit. I knew I could just move elsewhere if it was important to see it, and that it wasn't that important anyway. Swearing was meant to offend, that's how it came into being. The reason some people get offended by swearing is probably the same reason some people get offended by censorship. Polite people get their word heard by both types of people, sounds like a plan.
