Reply #152: Children and profanity [View All]

Agree! Wouldn't it fall on the parents to talk to their children and have a dialogue about when something's appropriate (like this bumpersticker) and when it's not (like using "fuck" in school)? And hey! Maybe it'll even open up other topics like how it's okay for people to have different opinions and how nobody should hate someone just because they're not like themselves...

OR

They can just continue their pious, knee-jerk reactions and teach their children something's "bad" when they avoid talking about it, thereby teaching the kid that they should keep things to themselves and not tell Mommy or Daddy b/c they'll become upset at the kid but never explain why. Perhaps this will serve to distance the little conservative-spawn, and they'll grow up to think for themselves!
