I'll admit it, I swear a lot in public and at home 😛
People tell me to use lame replacements such as FUDGE, and CRACKER, but I don't see the point. They all have the same meaning and intention, so might as well go full out 😉

Yes, I'm 16 right now. I'll probably grow out of this soon enough
 
To the people that disagree with me what if I was behind you in a movie theater and I started saying words to my buddy like "f*ck you asshole, I'm about ready to get my sh*t on!" or "I'd sti*ck my d*ck in that bi*ches a** all f*ckin day and night!" Imagine if you had an 8 year old with you and they had to listen to this talk. I guess you would just try to ignore it? Or say if you had asked me to please refrain from talking in that manner and I was like "f*ck you, you old corny f*ck!" I guess that's fine?

People who have problems with cursing have issues themselves. It's JUST A WORD. Get over it. You have no right to be comfortable, you can't shield your virgin ears forever - if you don't want to hear it, simply walk away.
 
Yet another reason why I hate people my age. I cuss a lot when I'm with my age group, but other than that I'm really clean. The only time I'll cuss is when I get angry playing games or if I'm just messing around and throw in a "douchebag" here and there. It used to be really bad here with kids trying to act hard, then a bunch of black kids (no offense or anything, that's just how it was) who came from some harder places showed up and that shut everyone up. Then more black kids (again no offense, it's just who it was) came who had never had a rough time and started saying n*gga and n*gger all the time and now it's common to hear white kids saying it with them. It's so fvcking retarded.

I use such words all the time. My point is not about the individual merit of each and every cuss word because in all honesty so what, its just a word? My point is that its disrespectful to use such words with no regard to one's surroundings (i.e. in a movie theater like someone else pointed out, or in front of young kids). The point is not that kids shouldn't know these words or ever use them- the point is they shouldn't grow up thinking its ok to use cuss words to express themselves in any and all situations.

Normally, I have the same philosphy, but that doesn't mean I go around swearing all the time. There's something called civility and politeness. Sure, the f-word is just a word, and outside of our minds no different from any other word, but the fact is, it's not a polite word, the connotations associated with it are negative, and words like that should not be uttered in polite company or in public. Especially where impressionable young children are. 5-year-old kids don't need to know that language, especially since they have a habit of imitating others. It's just about manners and civility.

Nice sig. Do you miss slavery too?

Yes, cause that is exactly what his sig says.
 
I had an episode at Walmart a few months ago. A couple teenage boys were snappin off the MF's at an awesome pace. My 8 year old daughter was with me. I said to them "Hey, we've got young ears here, can we watch the language please?". They looked at me like I had lobsters crawling out of my ears, said "yeah man, sorry man" and cleaned up the language. The look in my eyes and tone of my voice left absolutely no doubt in their young minds that a thorough pounding would have followed any smart ass answer. I asked respectfully though, and they answered respectfully.
I live in west central PA where there are really no black folks to mention. We don't have any true blue hard ass kids. No gang bangers. Our kids still have that MTV attitude, language, and culture.
I can't stand it.
TV portrays this whole attitude as black culture, RMA pushes the gangster rap, and porno is in every email box.
It seems that the lines of decency have pretty much dissolved, and it's the black community who's taking the blame.
That's bullshit.
The two kids I mentioned earlier happened to be black. Turns out they were decent, properly raised kids being stupid kids. My 13 year old daughter has a mouth like a sailor. It's her newest phase and she thinks it's cool. I make sure it's in check and used when it's appropriate (if there is such a time). She has a hard time grasping when it's time to use language and when it's not time. She also has a hard time deciding when it's the right time to be a belligerant weasel, and when it's not.
Reminds me of me to an absolute tee at the same age.
Being an adult makes taking responsibility for kids, like it or not.
If the skatepunks are doing something they shouldn't, they should be told. If it comes to mowing them down because they're packin, then so be it. Fortunately our skatepunks don't have guns, just lots of zits.

it's hard to say since I don't have a kid, but I don't think I'd be bothered by it.

my parents never saw the point in shielding me or my sister from "bad" words; I'll probably feel the same way when it comes to my own kids.

Why would he miss slavery? The libs were the ones supporting slavery.
