I have never seen a bad television program, because I refuse to. God gave me a mind, and a wrist that turns things off. ~Jack Paar

jillian said:No. And he's been taught well enough to know that certain words are for "adults" and they're not for repetition, regardless of what he hears other kids doing.
Either way, I don't want government making my parenting decisions.
That said, I don't see any reason for that kind of language on TV, but like I said..... it isn't government's place to interject.
And thing is, I've always wondered why some people have more problems with a word... or a bare breast... than they do violence on TV. Personally, violence troubles me much more. Just my opinion.

dilloduck said:Why cant he say "fuck"---they all say it on TV !! And they all say it at school? Why should he have to listen to you and your prudish uptight morals?
jillian said:Because he knows how stupid kids sound when they talk like that. And he thinks enough of himself (based on what we've taught him) to not care what "they all say". Same as he thinks about people with face piercings... He's learned that isn't what he would want to project.... Same as with getting drunk -- he knows that people look stupid when they're out of control. It's my job to raise him and instill values, not government's.
Now why should I trust some government bureaucrat more than I trust myself? And that's really the issue... not what my son is or isn't allowed to say.
dilloduck said:Kids are stupid because they say fuck??----thats imposing your moral values on someone elses kid !!! Where is your tolerance??
jillian said:lol...very cute. I said they "sound" stupid and I tell my son that one resorts to that type of language when they can't articulate their thoughts.
(He'll find out the joys of a good cuss when he's older).
But again...why should I trust some government jerk to make decisions for me?

Dr Grump said:It would be appropriate to have such words after a certain time...say 9pm...I concur, it is not up to the nanny state to teach kids right from wrong. My youngest son just started at a Baptist daycare. Been there two days. His new saying? I'm gonna kick you in the ask (no, that ain't a typo)...His teachers explained there are a couple fo disruptive influences in the class...heh...
NOT Southern Baptist I hope!? He'll be dancin an drinkin before he's in first grade! But preachin against it, of course.Dr Grump said:It would be appropriate to have such words after a certain time...say 9pm...I concur, it is not up to the nanny state to teach kids right from wrong.

jillian said:That's an awful lot of surmise for one post..... how about I teach my son what's appropriate. I teach him right from wrong. I have things that I find offensive on TV which might have nothing to do with the use of one particular word. And I turn off the TV when something is valueless. I don't want any jerk in government making those decisions for me.
So you can surmise all you want. It's up to you to teach your kids right from wrong.
