I curse with abandon in front of my kid, not at him, just in conversation. Expletives are part of language, and are just more words for the toolbox, useful in adding a little spice or emphasis to a point.

If a teacher ever contacts me to say they used a vulgar word, my first question that will inform my response, if any, will be "how did they use it, specifically?"

I see our, the US's, childish aversion to curse words as part of its childish puritanical roots based in wilfill ignorance. Guns all day, but ahhhhh dirty words! Ahhhhh boobies! Our response to such things are what's embarrassing.

If you want me to take anyone's censorship of anything seriously in this cesspool, start by advocating censoring glorification of "muh 2A," and maybe I'll take you seriously.

Also the notion that children aren't allowed to do certain things that adults frequently do in front of them somehow magically doesn't apply to curse words.

Kids can't smoke, drink, drive cars, change light bulbs, use the stove and oven... But no one ever says adults aren't allowed to cook in front of the kids because kids might get the wrong idea. They tell the kids not to use the stove and respond appropriately if the kids do anyway.

Respond appropriately being teach the kid to cook. I was cooking breakfast and dinner at least once a week by the age of 6-7. I can't tell you how many girls I've dated that has absolutely no clue how to cook. So much wasted money.....

First time I understand, but next time you need to inquire with the escort service about the things that are important to you.

I was referring to their money. I frequently found this out in the "getting to know the financial side of you," phase of getting serious.

Looking for a girl who can cook the books eh? That’ll cost you extra.
