See this is where I have a disconnect with the average American these days. Most people I talk with say they want their kids to hear profanity, that kids just need to be "educated" about that word being wrong, etc but it's a fact of life they should get used to. These same people (and I'm not making this up) think that kids should also be exposed to openly sexual situations in movies because "it's only human and shouldn't be shameful". Some of these people think that kids should be allowed to see x-rated movies too, same reason. I just don't get it. So you want your 5 year old to hear "f* this and f* that" and to see a gang bang with no censorship? I just can't believe people think this way. But I suppose morals are changing.

I was on a plane the other day and when we landed the 30-something couple behind me stood up to exit the plane and began having a loud conversation where every third word was "f***".

Quote:
"Glad we're f***ing here, finally. F***. Where the f*** do you want to f***ing eat? I'm so f***ing hungry I could f***ing eat a f***ing big burrito. F***."
Are we all okay with normal average public conversation being like this? If not, then it's not acceptable in most situations. And if that's true, I don't want my kids hearing it.

So thanks for the note on the software. I think I'll give it a try. We like some songs that unfortunately the singer decided a few vulgarities would be cool to throw in and we have to avoid them as a result. Maybe we can listen again. And as king of my house, and for the sake of my kid, I'm allowed to censor and I don't think I'm violating his civil rights by doing it, lol.
