It is a cultural problem despite what those on the left would like to believe.
Er, what do they believe? I think it's a problem with the culture and noone denies that.
Cursing is a moral problem and thus an increase in cursing has to be related to a decline in morality. What is the biggest association to the decline in morality in America? The decline in religion and the rise of secular pop-culture which promotes gay marriage, abortion, drug use, hypersexualization, the evil of the nuclear family unit, etc.
Corelation does not imply causation and this saying should be taken twofold when dealing with the past. Let's go back 100 years. Also, morality does not "decline", it changes and gets recast. 100 years ago, it was totally ok to use racial slurs with everyone.
This makes no sense. Free will is always existent. Acceptance of religious faith and adherence to its tenets is in fact the ultimate act of free will because it precisely involves surrendering free will to a higher cause. Its comparable to how people who attempt suicide call the act the ultimate show of free will. In almost no cases (in the US at least) are people forced to follow a religion.
Free will means getting to do or not do anything you want. Congratulation, you must become Sunni now, or we cut off your head. Does this ring bells of free will to you, a self-called champion of free will?
