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.

Hmm, you have interesting neighbors down there.
I live in what might be called a liberal bastion, and I don't think for a second that any of my friends or folks I interact with want (their) kids to see X-rated content.

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.

No, I'm not okay with it, but in a big city it's unavoidable.
I'll do the best to instill values when (if?) I have kids, but they
are going to be exposed to it. (X-rated content is a different matter; I disagree that folks are exposed to that on a regular basis.)

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.

Oh, you definitely are
allowed to, even if I don't agree.
Let's just hope the RIAA doesn't step in and say this is a DMCA violation or something. :roll:
