People who swear in front of children?

call mall security, in most states foul language is a misdemeanor. and things like that can show your kids how not to be if explained well.

For a while yes.  I used to staff on an on-line RPG that had a rule against profanity.  Some people got pretty creative but they did tend to forget that the staff was from all over the world and would catch them eventually.  And there were always the other players to rat them out.

I would just like to point out to you that cussing is not against any of the 10 commandments. Swearing is.\nCussing may be distasteful and inappropriate at times, but certainly no sin against God.\nMore often than not, it's a case of people not knowing how to express themselves with other words. Although, occasionally, a good expletive is exactly what's needed to emphasize a point.

Absolutely not.  Most parents would consider that language rude if said in the family setting so all the more reason it is inappropraite in a school setting.  I would not be happy if my child where in that class.

I suggest being straightforward with the people and tell them right off that they cannot use those words around youre children. whether theyre youre friends or not(i dont know) you should still tell them immediately to stop

Unfortunately profanity is becoming used more and more. It is a "sign of the times" so to speak. Bubbles2006 had probably a good solution, ask the person to quit saying profanities around you. But this can lead to the person doing it even more to aggravate you. Although I don't care for it I have learned to ignore it and let the person speak as they wish. We cannot change them they must do the changing on their own.\n\nOne very intelligent person once told me, "Profanity is used by those whom lack the intelligence to communicate in any other way." I have often though of that statement when I am around someone who uses gross and frequent profanity.

It seems like if you say anything that some people don't agree with on here,you can get reported. so where as I'd normally say a swear word is something you wouldn't say in front of your nan, on here I'd say it could be absolutely anything!!

I didn't realize it was common. Maybe the kids are just used to calling "mommy" for help whenever they need something or have something to say?

I am totally respectful.  If I am in a place where they expect people to be quiet, I'll be quiet.  Not just the at the library, at church too.  I just hate when people are rude and loud and don't care about interrupting others.  I also hate the parents who go to church and let their children behave like if they were in a party.  You need to teach your children respect too.

It started with people who didn't like to be blasphemous by saying "For Christ's sake . . ." or "For God's sake . . .", so they would say anything else that started with the same first two syllables and that would give the idea without actually saying it.  So we get "For cry . . . ing out loud" and "for go . . . sh sakes".  Etymologists and dictionaries call this a "minced oath".

It's rude to correct someone in front of others, but if you are their friend, do it privately and kindly. This will keep them from sounding ignorant the next time. (I can hear people reaching for the computer mouse to give me thumbs' down). If I mispronounced something horribly, I would want my friends to tell me so I would not make the same mistake twice.

Do you agree that people have the right to use profanity at pizza hut? \n\nOf course they do.....last week  Marg brought her youngest child Billy Wayne, who is 5, to work. Seems the babysitter had another nervous breakdown. ...but that's another story\n.\nAnyway.... Billy Wayne crawled under a booth by the door and  every time someone in sweats or shorts  went by...\nHe yelled "London Bridges falling Down" and then he'd give a big tug on their pants or shorts.\n\nThe other customers loved it. Marge was horrified. Diego the cook thought it was hilarious too, until Billy Wayne jerked his pants down to his ankles...that was when Diego started after Billy Wayne with a butcher knife,  and calling that child horrid names in Spanish .....oh well.....the gang down there always has something going on don't they?

God says a soft answer turns away all wrath. He also says he will fight your battles for you. That these people feel you are worth speaking to must tell you something. Cussing people out only brings you down to their level. Remember God was mocked and stoned. He prayed for them. There are always going to be people that are natural bullies,if you set an example and stand up to them by just ignoring them maybe it will save someone else from the same thing. If all else fails you do realize you can bring a suit against these children for harassament.

I don't think it is, but sometimes people get uppity when I say it.  Especially if there's a kid in the room.  It can be bad if said with a certain tone and in a certain situation, but I don't think it is generally bad and people need to relax about it.  There are a lot of awfully worse words and phrases out there to devote your energy to.
