Man fined for cursing in front of a 13 year old

I don't have a problem with cursing, and I typically do it when I'm with company who I know don't mind. However, there are things called "tact", "manners", and "etiquette". If a person doesn't know when/where to tone down the cursing, then I have no problem with someone asking for it to be toned down, or even having that person being ticketed.

I do wonder how much our taboo with bad words is strictly an American cultural thing? I was surprised when I was in France and learned that all songs on the radio are uncensored (I'm not sure why I was surprised though considering I saw t*** on one of the basic cable stations around noon one day).

 

Actually, that was from RAW and it is paraphrased.

 

French have their own bad words. I think the choice as to which subjects are taboo is different. Russians and East Europeans, in my experience, can cuss so crudely, they'd make even a 13 year-old American boy blush.

 

You keep score.

 

Wth.... How they hell do you get fined for that? Fail.

 

mildly satirical.. mister SlowLy..

my response was a fitting reply to that post in particular.. if you'd paid close attention.. you'd realize it did infact answer the question.. perfectly..

 

Do you grope your wife or gf in front of your kids?

 

I know. You had to say " SwoLy" at the end of that reply... didn't you? Darn you, smart poster guy.

And it's SwoLy [pulling hair smiley]
