Swear like a sailor

[Neo Emolga]

Personally, I swear very rarely, but I don't mind it at all if other people cuss. I honestly don't think it's a big deal, and by now, everyone has seen swear words.

It does bother me a little when little kids swear. That's usually a sign the parents let them get away with everything and anything.

I partially agree with that last point of yours. Kids swear because they're around a much more open-minded society nowadays where swearing in public (by passers-by, for instance) is done much more freely. Additionally, no matter how good or bad your parents are, kids still might cuss around their friends to fit in and the like. They're bound to make friends with someone who's parents are like how you described: uncaring.

But I don't like it when kids openly cuss around or in front of their parents. Simple things like damn and hell, whatever, I honestly don't consider them swear words myself....but yeah, I definitely see what you mean

When I have a kid, I want them to know about the world around them. If they ask questions, I want to be mostly honest. Its how my parents have raised me: they would pretty much always openly and honestly answer questions I had for them. Theyd always make sure to emphasize right from wrong, though.
