I was on the bus yesterday with my daughters little three year old. Now at this age they are apt to say anything they hear. Two young men behind us were using a string of obscenities.....the three year old is listening to all this, and i do not think it is acceptable at all. A bus is a public space - they contaminated this space with foul language...all of it gratuitous. Call me wrong if you like, but I do not think it is fair or reasonable to expect me to listen to this. Can these young men not see that they are making themselves look bad? As I've said before....it isn't big and it isn't clever.

You are raising some interesting philosophical and logical issues here. What you choose to accept or reject is irrelevant on any level other than the personal. You do have choices of course; however, they are governed not by any external reality (if such a thing exists) but by conditioning. You are a product of how, where and when you were raised. Also you are a product of who you are, as an individual. And everyone on the planet is in the same Ark.
And the answer to the rhetorical question you raised is "no".
