Answer 4

profanity is a crime in most states, and not protected under freedom of speech,as that applies to the exchange of ideas,not the freedom to sue foul language . Also if you are swearing at a person,yelling or threatening in manner or tone(regardless of what you are saying) ,its simple assault in most states.its not enforced much, but standing around using the F-woord in a public place can get you ticketed/arrested,and yelling it at someone ,CAN get you arrested if a cop so chose.

Answer 5

I don't think it's illegal, no, because it's just impossible to monitor and enforce. If you're swearing very loudly, though, like in an angry rant from a magephone, you'd probably be done for Public Disturbance or Drunk and Disorderly.

Answer 6

National Socialist Party of America v. Village of Skokie shows us that  even Hate speech is a form of protected speech under the 1st amendment furthermore "Cus"ing should fall under the same protection. As Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes said the First Amendment gives birth to a market place of ideas which allows all views to be expressed whether they be popular or not.
