You know what really f*****g pisses me off, people who complain about using obscenities in front of children and people who get offended from bad words. A word like f**k or s**t shouldn’t offend anyone and there’s nothing wrong with your 2 year old son hearing it. Another thing is bad words not being allowed on TV or in film, mostly TV. If you’ve ever watched TV, you will notice these things:
Little kid (0-5) shows (Sesame Street, Dora, Blues Clues, Mr. Rogers, etc.): nothing slides, you’re not even allowed to say a stupid or sucks.
Kid (4-13) shows (Scooby Doo, SpongeBob, Tom And Jerry, Animaniacs, He Man, Ren And Stimpy, TMNT, Power Rangers, etc.): some minor words allowed (stupid, idiot, sucks, etc.), not allowed to use words like balls (unless referring to the sport object), pissed, hell, and damn.
Adult (10-_) shows (The Simpsons, Family Guy, The Boondocks, Robot Chicken, Bob’s Burgers, anything on Adult Swim, etc.): anything except for f**k and s**t and sometimes N—r allowed, if one of those 2.5 words are used, there must be a beep, which is f*****g stupid, as we know exactly what they’re saying.
Adult for real (13-_) shows (South Park, The Walking Dead, etc.): anything goes, although some shows in this category will censor f**k.
Notice some problems, the first one is that they will censor words regardless of whether or not we know what they are, the next one being that kids shows have a lot of trouble referring to hell and if they can’t use the word, they can’t make a hellish episode.
Now let’s compare with the MPAA ratings:
G (classic): quite a few words are allowed, such as stupid, hell, damn, goddamn, and b*****d
G (modern): words like stupid, idiot, moron, sucks, and hell are allowed, although damn, goddamn, and b*****d are no longer permitted
PG (classic): allowed to say pretty much anything, although f**k is only allowed to be used scarcely
PG (modern): anything but f**k and N—r allowed, although s**t, ass, bitch, dick, pussy, etc. are typically not used and if they are, they are only used once or twice
PG-13: almost anything allowed, although f**k can only be used once and it can not be used sexually, m**********r is not allowed (the only exception I could find is Draft Day, which has one use of the word and only got the rating after appeal)
R: anything allowed
X: anything allowed
Notice how G allows more than a kids show and how PG allows more than an adult show, that means that a G movie can say hell while Animaniacs can’t and a PG movie can say s**t while Family Guy can’t. I say f**k hating bad words and let Elmo say “so long m***********s”. Anybody object to this post.
Maybe you should try posting more.

I don’t object and am not offended but I don’t agree with you in the slightest.

I think the world would be a better place if all of those words faded into obscurity. There are much better ways to express oneself without the use of vulgarity. “Vulgarity is no substitute for wit.” Vulgarity is the lazy person’s way out.

Offline We never banned our daughter from swearing. And as she got older she would have occasionally heard us swear. But we made sure she understood that some people are deeply offended by it. For instance she understood that it wasn’t to be used in front of my Grandmother (who was a real live Victorian being born in 1900!) She is 35 now with two happy and balanced girls aged 5 and 9. They will have heard swearing by now so I hope she explains to them as we did to her. I would never swear in front of anyone I didn’t know. I think it’s simple courtesy.
I do wonder what words will be left if we insist on overusing the the final two remaining swear words, all the fun and impact will be lost. 😉

Exactly my way of thinking. If someone says ‘Oh f— it’ every time some silly little thing happens, what will they say when they’ve been kidnapped, held hostage, their family has been sold into slavery, they’ve not eaten in a week, they’re about to be thrown over a cliff, and they just heard news of David Bowie’s death?

Offline Personally I don’t swear, but it doesn’t bother me when someone else does. It only annoys me when someone says the F word like every other word. It makes them sound unintelligent. It’s like, can you not come up with any other adjectives?
As far as swearing around children/in children’s shows, it should be kept to a minimum. If kids don’t know a swear word, it will generally fly right over their head, but if it’s said enough times around them they will learn it and possibly start using it themselves…. like this
*the comic relief*
But in all seriousness, it really bothers me when kids start swearing before they’re 12.
I really do beleive that the less you swear, the kinder of a person you’ll be. Generally people are not kind when swearing, due to the reason they ate using swear words in their speech.

Offline Swearing for the sake of it, trying to be funny, trying to look tough or simpy to offend just makes the individual look a total idiot. For emphasising however I don’t think a polite word like damn or rubbish is in any way sufficient.
I would be horrified to see a 4-year-old or even a 9-year-old swear as I don’t think that is right nor do I think adults swearing around them is right.

Besides the fact that they would be dead after a week of starvation.

Offline I was always told it wasn’t very “ladylike” for a girl to swear, so I don’t very often even though I think them a lot of times! I don’t believe they need to be said all the time, but I can understand how sometimes you just need to let it out.

That or “You know”. And people who say “Listen” before making a point: I was until you said that, now I’m going to do something else.
