I do believe that children need to learn when and where such language is appropriate, for example, and how to use it sparingly to get a point across where it is appropriate so as not to sound unintelligent (so as not to say the F word every other word and sound like a fool). I dont want my future children mouthing off at me, it shows a sign of disrespect for the authority i have and is terrible for his/her process of learning how to be an adult. I dont have a problem with the swearing as long as they learn where, when, and how to use it.

That being said, as an adult, i dont think i have a conversation with my friends, my parents today (not when i was young, thank you), or my wife without swearing. As stated in the video above, its not a sign of unintelligent banter, its a strong adjective meant to evoke a stronger feeling out of what youre trying to say. I wouldnt swear around my boss or many of my professors, though, because we try to keep a sense of formality.

In short, i think there are certain areas where you need to tread lightly. i also think if people dont want to hear that language, they need to find a different movie, because frankly if theyre going to show a movie, i find it ridiculous that they would censor it because some viewers might get "offended" by it. i especially despise parents who complain about it being shown on TV where their children can see. Chances are theyve heard the word used already, and if you ont want them hearing it, do something about it. Dont let them watch the movie if you care so much. the FCC regulation is so absurd. Now full on nudity, thats a bit deeper subject that i wont get into.
