Really- where are your manners!!

As a child my Grandmother was big on manners- elbows off the table, chewing with mouths closed, do not discuss money with others, never brag, NEVER SWEAR!! NEVER.
Of course, I was born in another country and when I moved to the U.S. I realised that these rules were not commonly supported by the majority. Unfortunately it has only gotten worse and now people curse as if it is a substitution for breathing.
During a free moment a few mornings ago I tuned into The View- that 'charming' roundtable of women that I suppose represent all the groups of women in our society- or at least the ones that count to feminists.
In that one show, these women referred to each other a "b****es more than three times. They were laughing and tossing themselves around in such a way that I was actually embarrassed for them.
Meredith Viera(sp) after becomming annoyed by one of the women declared "I am so over you B****es" No doubt she was referring to her new job as co-host at The Today Show on NBC. I guess Matt Lauer will have to get used to vulgar remarks, but then again I get the feeling that a male co-host and millions of dollars could buy her some manners.
But the damage is done, millions of women watch the view, and many of them probably feel that these highly paid women are in the know, and indeed, many may actually feel that they should be regarded and their actions copied.
While I do believe that manners should be taught at home, those individuals who hold the previledge of reaching the ears of our society should clean up their language.
I often wonder what people who curse do when overheard by their children. What do they do when their daughters respond to the salutation "B***H" from a boy.
Regrettably, I think that many adults care more about their momentary gratification, than about their daily contamination of our society.
