From what I can tell, there are a considerable number of established conservative posters over the years here who generally have refrained from cursing and vulgarity. And there are a few lefties who curse like sailors.
But the most striking thing to me has always been the amount of self-professed conservative "Christians" who swear, curse, and indulge in extremely vulgar language.
To Curse is to Sin,
To Curse is to Dishonor God,
Cursing Ruins Your Witness of Jesus
Matthew 12:36-37 ESV
“I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak, for by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”
Ephesians 4:29 ESV
“Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.”
James 1:26 ESV
“If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person's religion is worthless.”
Matthew 15:11 ESV
“It is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but what comes out of the mouth; this defiles a person.”
Matthew 12:36 ESV
“I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak"
Hosea 4:2 ESV
“There is swearing, lying, murder, stealing, and committing adultery; they break all bounds, and bloodshed follows bloodshed.
James 3:10 (NKJV)
it is expressed that having the same mouth to bless and curse is dishonorable to the Lord. When you are a follower of Christ, you are representing the Lord, not only in what you do but in what you say, think, and feel. If you are praising God one moment but cursing up a storm in the next moment, your witness as being one in mind with God is exposed as weak.
Ephesians 4:29, MSG
“Watch the way you talk. Let nothing foul or dirty come out of your mouth. Say only what helps, each word a gift”.
Matthew 5:22
“But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment; whoever insults his brother will be liable to the council; and whoever says, ‘You fool!’ will be liable to the hell of fire.”
Paul also says >
“There should not be even a hint of sexual sin among you. Don’t do anything impure. And do not always want more and more. These are not the things God’s holy people should do. There must not be any bad language or foolish talk or dirty jokes. They are out of place. Instead, you should give thanks” (Ephesians 5:3-4, NIRV).

I dunno, EE. When you experience something over and over, no matter where, and it is associated with a particular group of ppl, you start to believe that it's something about the belief system of that particular group of ppl. My ignore list here is almost 100% vulgar, hateful righties. When I comment on political news stories on other sites, the righties swarm to attack. This happens even on non-political stories.
For instance, in the last 24 hours I have been called "unhinged," "communist," "insane," "hateful for wishing ppl would die just to get rid of Trump," "fucked up bitch," and even worse -- all on a story on our local news station's page about COVID-19/coronavirus. My sin? Pointing out that it's panic and possibly erroneous information being spread by the media that is affecting the stock markets the last couple of days. This is not just a single event. This happens every. single. time. I or another leftie posts. Ironically, this county tends to vote blue and was one of only a few in 2016, for instance, that went for Clinton. You wouldn't expect this sort of rage here but there you go.
I can see why some ppl on the left believe in disinformation bots because these guys say almost the same things -- no matter what the story is -- and their reaction to *anything* perceived as the slightest criticism of TRE45ON or the Right is instantaneous.
"Conservatism is the blind and fear-filled worship of dead radicals." -- Mark Twain
JPP is not a good representation of neither left or right. This place reminds me of a 3rd class honkey tonk, that has bar fights nightly. I found a site that people stay relatively peaceful and argue the issues rather than debase each other. I don't post a lot over there as I enjoy bar fights. Lol
You may know the site already. But if not and you want it PM me.

This is a right-leaning board.
Back to the thread. Scalia set a principle on recusal. he refused to do it. He ruled on one case involving a guy, Cheney, he went hunting with a week earlier. His caddie Clarence has done the same thing. http://www.cnn.com/2004/LAW/03/18/scalia.recusal/ The appearance of the court do not matter to them. They will sell it out to rule for the rightys.
What makes something vulgar or a swear/curse word other than some standard set by man?
Telling an idiot like you that you're a fucking dumbass isn't designed to tear you down, defile you, nor is is careless. It's designed to motivate you, build you up, and help you become less of a dumbass.
When Trump wins his second term, RBG dies, and he gets to appoint #3 giving the Court a stronger Conservative leaning, it will be when your grandkids are old and gray before a left leaning Court has a possibility of existing. With the Conservative leaning Court, things can get back to where the founders intended them to be and in line with the Constitution.
