Profanity

[Combs]

On a different board, somebody was saying how he said You Suck to a baseball player, and a lady stood up and yelled at the guy.I was saying that was stupid of the lady, and she needed to get over it. Somebody said oh I bet you don't want F bombs dropped around your kids when you have them. To which I said...Oh no not the F bomb!!I would seriously not care in the LEAST bit. Why would I? What makes kids so special that they can't hear a stupid word that society had deemed to be unacceptable? It's just a word. What is it going to do to them? Can you honestly say you've never used the F word in front of your kids? Can you say that they've never heard the word in their life? They are going to hear the word in their lives regardless. They will know the word. Explain to your kids that you don't want them saying the words if that is the reasoning for this. But as I said..it's not like they've never heard it before. There should be much bigger issues in the world then frickin profanity.I just get sick of people who think you are suppose to conform to what they think is right and wrong. if I want to have 4 beers, and cuss and have what I think is fun...then deal with it. If you wanna sit on your hands and memorize each play of the game, and write a 3 page column on it when you get home..then you do that do. We'll both do what makes us happy..but don't try and ruin my fun!What are your thoughts of similar types of situations?

My supervisor at work freaks out and yells at me or anyone that swears and it's annoying, she's yelled at me for saying 'pissed off' and she's said it herself, people like that are hypocritical and annoying, keep your opinions to yourself, I don't need the morality police yelling at me because you find a word 'unacceptable'. Get over it. I hate when people swear constantly, it's kind of trashy, but once and a while it's no big deal. My favorites. "What the fricken hell..." "Who gives a flying sh*t..." "Keep the bitches out of the bank, chech."

word.from my hood this pussy sh*t is a bunch of bull. F*ck it.

 

[the_pestilence]

I think gratuitous swearing constantly has no point, but I don't see the problem with a well placed f bomb in context.

Your kids?

By the way, the word "F*ck" is in your sig.

lol its in your sig tony.

 

[7Goat]

I try not to swear much, it's not pretty to see someone misusing their mouth so much. It's not nice either.But occasionally I don't mind it.

[dsounG]

The only time I swear is when I do something wrong or something has gone wrong. I'd be like Aw sh*t! But when it comes to playing basketball, I swear quite a bit.

 

[S_Gurad]

F*ck <---- much more noticeable.| I would actually curse more but I check my replies before I post sometimes.|I've been tryin to quit on that cursing sh*t.| well at least in REAL life.|

 

[primetime]

I swear alot in life. I dont try to but most of the men in my family were sailors so I inherited it I guess from my family.

It was in grade 3 or 4 and my mom wanted me to apologize to my brother for something...I think we were playing N64 and I screwed him up when he was trying to play...Anyway, I told him to go F*ck himself instead of apologizing...I didn't say it often until the 6th grade...

Come on CB4, your taking a stupid word too seriously.

"Ruins innocence"...give me a break.

 

[CB4allstar]

At that young of an age, you shouldn't be using profanity. In my opinion, it turns the kids into bad asses at too early of an age, and I think your kid has a better chance of being a really good kid if he doesn't get into that kind of language until he is atleast almost ready to mature.

 

[ASUFan22]

I agree with CB4... I wouldn't want my kid to hear that language, look at porno or start touching himself before puberty has taken it's course.

[gentile]

A parent that takes a kid to a football game might as well take him to a Dave Chappell concert. Civility erodes every time we give the finger to our neighbors. There's nothing wrong with going crazy at a game, but cussing around children? I don't like it because you're an example whether you like it or not.

While walking home I always sang a song with F*ck as the main word...it was weird. But if I was a parent I still wouldn't like my kids doing that.

I'm not forcing their kids to cuss. Me standing up and saying "what the F*ck kind of call was that?" isn't gonna force their kid the next quarter to stand up and do the same. The world has not acceptable things around us all the time...trying to hide stuff from kids isn't going to work..because they will see it eventually. Talk to your kids about sex..if they don't hear it from you..they will hear about it from somebody else.Same with drugs. Same with swearing. Same with anything you don't want your kids to do. Make it clear what is right and wrong for somebody their age.Then I can cuss at the game, and you don't have to worry about me ruining your kids life with a stupid word. They have TV, Video Gaves, Movis, Music, School...there are more outlets then their parents probably know about. Again..their kid has word thie word before. They already know the word. And if they are gonna say it...they probbaly already say it.

 

[mavsfan1000]

F*ck, ass, pussy, sh*t, bi*ch. I don't get why people make such a big deal on profanity. I guess in our society you have to act a certain way or people get offended. I'm not that way. Curse all you want for all I care. As long as you aren't threatening anyone or being prejudiced.

 

[LAZY]

I try not to cuss hear any more. Because when it asterisks it out it just makes me look stupid.It's better than the WWE board I go to. If you cuss in your reply it wont let you reply. So you either have to take away the cuss word or asterisk it out yourself

[Justice]

I'm not going to say that it's important not to curse in front of kids, but it's a social norm. It's like cursing at a nun. It just doesn't fly. I can understand your annoyance at someone bringing it up, but I can also understand someone being upset about it. Parents just don't want their kids to be the one kid that curses all the time, has a filthy mouth, whatever.

 

[Memphology]

When I hear a person who curses in every sentence...I think it sounds just trashy and they have no manners. Its something you just dont do excessively, and I for one am going to try not to say harsh curse words around my kids...like "fck,btch"
