The problem is not kids swearing, the problem is kids not knowing that it's actually not formal language.
-
what does anyone gain by swearing for no reason? it's perfectly fine to swear when hurt or feeling pain, whether kid or not.
-
There is nothing charming about a 4 year old kid that shouts "fuck you, moterfucking asshole!!" to the other kid that just stole his or her toy.
This should be obvious, but since I am waiting for a build I might as well write it: kids don't know when it's right and when it's wrong to swear. Sometimes grown-ups don't know either, though. -
@devdiddydog The problem there is not swearing, the problem is insulting.
I don't have a problem if anyone swears when it is not insulting, not to God and not to humans. I don't see a problem when anyone says words like "fuck". -
@happygimp0 You don't see a problem with a child saying "This icecream is fucking awesome"?
I swear way too much, and I know it doesn't sound too good. As an adult you can use it to make a point in the right context and that's ok. But it just does not sound well coming from a child that's all. -
@devdiddydog I don't see a problem there. What do you think is the problem there? Fuck is just a word like every other word.
-
@happygimp0 Because words have meanings. Yes they are all an array of characters, but the order they are in makes a difference.
According to your theory there are no racist / insulting / derogatory words either then. Because they are just words! If I said your comment was stupid or interesting - does that not make a difference? -
@devdiddydog I don't see a significant different meaning in "This icecream is fucking awesome" and "This icecream is very awesome".
How is it okay for elders to swear but not for kids? Kids are gonna learn to swear someday anyways 🙄
