Swearing in Disney

[teambeaman]

From Merriam-Webster Gentleman c (2) : a man whose conduct conforms to a high standard of propriety or correct behavior Lady: b : a woman of refinement and gentle manners

Is it gentlemanly or lady like to criticize others for how they speak during a conversation that is not directed at you? Just saying...

Other people's perfume in the parks gives me migraines and makes me nauseous, but I highly doubt Disney will institute a perfume ban to make my visit more enjoyable. My suggestion is to focus on the things you can control and let the other stuff go. Live and let live.

Hypocrite much? You're the one who started in on the whole "people who swear aren't gentlemen/ladies, and they're unrefined". How is that not a personal attack? (hint, it is)

I never singled you out, or personally attacked you. You did. Twice now

Me thinks you don't understand what a "personal attack" means. Calling you a hypocrite based on something you said is not a personal attack.
Telling someone that you don't know that they are unrefined and not a gentlemen or lady and without manners is a personal attack.

Ouch....now I don't understand. Keep going...

No, it's not gentlemanly or ladylike to criticize someone for how he/she is speaking in an overheard conversation, & I never would.

However, I do consider it rude & not very gentlemanly or ladylike to swear & curse in public where your conversations can be overheard.

Again, I think we do need to be considerate of those around us.

We are free to say whatever we want to say whenever & wherever we want to say it, but that doesn't mean everything we can say is appropriate to say in every place or every situation.

And, yes! Many perfumes give me migraines too, so I know exactly what you mean! Just last week, I stood behind a lady at a graveside service for a relative. Where I was standing, I couldn't move away w/o being disruptive to the service. By the time we returned home after the funeral, I had an awful migraine.

Very well said.

It's called a lack of common courtesy for fellow park visitors.

Believe it or not there are actually people who don't curse, and would prefer not to hear other people use foul language. In the good ole days it used to considered bad manners to curse in public. Not so much today.

Not trying to stir the pot, but I think this is absolutely hilarious coming from a Sons of Anarchy fan!

I'm sure Queen Elizabeth has cursed a time or two. Who hasn't? But, in her every day language in public w/ other people present, she doesn't.

"Oh goodness! I've seemed to have dropped my blankety-blank kerchief. Would you be a dear & pick that blankety-blank thing up for me?"

I don't think so.

The Pope dropped the F-Bomb in front of thousands last week during his weekly address.

It was a pronunciation mistake, but I guess since it was in public in front of thousands, he is not a gentleman.
