Kids don't need any help in learning naughty words, and I at least would much rather they use them PROPERLY rather than sounding like the poor kids have tourettes or something. Hey, I have a nutty idea, why don't we cenor the bible while we're at it too.
Don't be ridiculous, Nessie and I have had far worse disagreements and we're still friends. You don't stop being friends with someone because you have different principles, you stop being friends with someone because they fucked your sister, or drove a car into the wall of your work.
See, as for me I don't give a damn, the parents and school can do whatever they want and it's not going to change the fact that those kids are still going to find "dirty" words to snicker at all over.
Is the whole thing ridiculous? Hell yes. Is it news? No.
I wouldn't let something like this end a friendship. I would just try and sweep this topic under the rug.
I'm actually a little surprised by how you are reacting to all of this. I've always known you to have an open mind... people make odd decisions when it comes to their children. I've been told that once you have kids you stop living you life for yourself and you start living your life for your children. Most parents will do anything (good or bad) for their kids if they think it will be good for the kids.
Surely you understand that most parents don't want their children running around saying any of George Carlin's list of dirty words... and I'm sure most of them (if not all) are in a standard dictionary.
Children are like sponges, they suck in everything (good and bad)
Just my two cents. And yes I do agree with you but at the same time I can understand Nessies stance.
I understand not wanting your child to run around swearing, yes. I think this is the most asinine and ineffective way of doing it, since it does absolutely nothing to change that.
It is small but mostly ineffective way of preventing it... it is more of a way to delay it (even if the delay is only for as long as a google search takes
( ... )
