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 would 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.

Kids learn form what they see mom and dad do so if Dad says "Freaking Fiddle Sticks!"(clean subsim version) after he smashes his finger with a hammer then the kid will think "I use that word when something very unpleasant happens.
If Dad says "Freaking" every other word the kid likely will as well. Many people grossly over use swear words.
To a massive extent the FCCs rules are bogus any way every TV(I think) has that V-chip deal in and cable/satellite boxes have controls as well so any truly responsible parent has total control without government interference.I have a friend who uses swear words fairly regularly yet he bans his kids from using them yet he speaks this way in front of them.
He also got into a confrontation once with a group of teenagers after he got on to them because they where cussing in public as he walked by with one of his sons and they told him to go to....
Like I said before our society is a walking contradiction if ever there was one.Take sex for example in most states it is illegal to partake in prostitution yet many products use the implication of sex in their advertising.You cant sell sex but you can use sex to sell.

Wal Mart dose not sell albums that have an explicit lyrics label yet they sell violent video games and movies they also refuse to sell pron mags or even Maximum or Esquire.I have seen in various stores they put covers on some women magazines.
