Agreed, but it's the attitude of the parent's reflecting the OP's views that causes the problem, it is the same.
When the OP has kids (if he doesn't already), will his views remain the same I wonder?
i dont know. However i know i dont believe its right. He should be given a manly slap for swearing then left to get on with it. Society is all for punishing those that dont conform. smoking - ban it all. drinking - ban it, were banning smoking anyway so why not? swearing - dont dont it, think of the kids!!!!! when the kids learn worse from their brothers/sisters/friends/
parents. sex on tv before the watershed - oh no, but let's give underage teens condoms and the pill promoting sex :/
to me, all this clamping down makes no difference. Whenever i see people my age tare-arsing around in stolen cars and breaking and entering, or generally being grotty little foul-mouthed ****s, i think WTF. Then when i see them with their parents and it changes to "yeah, it all makes sense now". what am i saying? i'm starting to see parenting-failure on a
massive scale and i dont think its being tackled at all in the right way. Me personally? i couldnt give a damn if a DJ slips up on air - its actually funny when people make mistakes like that.
