Dirty Mouth, Clean it up with Orbit Gum

I take no offense to books containing obscene language and I think it makes it more life like. People curse all the time in real life and while it may be looked down upon by some people, it is a part of life and at the end of the day the curse words that are uttered are just words and thats all. Good books and stories are supposed to be as believable as possible, so the language that is chosen is chosen to enhance that aspect. There are some cases however when the profanity gets too out of hand and it seems like every other word in the book is an obscene word, and in those cases, when the cursing is not necessary to get the point across, I think that it should just be taken out. I think we have to deal with the obscene language directly and not be afraid to say what is written because the author put those words in the book for a reason, not for them to just be skipped over.
