[QUOTE="Mamaof5, post: 402306"] For the use of the F word venacular I do agree with your difficult children ...to an extent. Let me explain. First the "F Word" is an adult word. It depends on who you are talking to, what you are talking about and what the tempo and mood of the discussion is. It should never be used in day to day conversations, it should never be used in anger, it should never be used in the presence of young children and there is a time and place for all types of verbiage and venacular uses including the F word (aka F bomb). Obviously one would never use these types of words within a conversation with ones boss in the office but say at the bar for drinks with the office gang and the boss. There is a certain amount of play with it, not a lot in that example. Say even with family members at a party or gathering (not a funeral obviously). I think what the difficult children are not understanding is that yes they are partially right however there is the "time and a place" part that they are not understanding. It's like our law in Ontario : A woman may be topless in public by law just as a man can be...but the catch - Where appropriate. As in, when the law stipulates no shirt, no shoes no service (as it would for a man) a woman may not walk into a store or mall without a top on. This law also say that a female can be topless, as in naked from the waste up. I've actually done it myself. Camping at a provincial park on my site. Not for long because I was just changing my shirt and wasn't wearing a bra so it was for a short period of time (tent was blistering hot and I didn't want to change in the tent and pass out of heat exhaustion quite frankly). I can be bare from waste up in my own backyard and it is not deemed indecent exposure or public nuisance. I'm allowed by law but like this law the F word is where appropriate. That's the missing point in the conversation about the use of F words and swearing in general. So to an extent I do agree with your difficult children. [/QUOTE]
