My kids are good and bright. We all have the chance to make the world a better place. The best chance for me to improve the state of the world is to bring my kids up right. If you don't like it, tough. Someday you might understand, but the reality is you have no right to tell me how to create my kids environment. Zero. Nada. You don't like what I do to protect my kids and create a safe environment for them, stay out of that environment.

Depends on the sports bar.

The one I hang out in most of the time is a sports bar/family restaurant. The bar area is for the adult patrons, and the family dining is off away from the bar. The first time I hear 50 guys at the bar yelling in unison, "Rip his ******* head off" will be my last time in the bar. Considering I drop a couple grand in there a year, I doubt that will ever happen.

I don't sit at the bar with my kids unless we're the only ones there.

As far as what's right and wrong for other people, that's a matter of subjective truth versus objective truth. Words have power, and the more you use certain words, the less power they have. I never cuss around my kids... but when the time comes in their teenage years and they really screw up, that's when the power of those words will reveal themselves. If you curse all the time, then when the time comes to really make a point, you've already played your best card.

Like I stated, young man. You raise your kids the way you see fit, and I'll do the same. It's my responsibility to protect them and fashion their environment. If that means helping some folks discover their own personally flaws, I accept that responsibility as well. Consider yourself better off because you read this post. Someday you might understand it.

Now see... There's where I think you're starting to go a bit too far.

The only environment you should expect to have full control of is your home. If you choose to leave the house with your children, they might (probably will) hear or see things you don't approve of.

It's not the end of the world if they do. I know I certainly wasn't that sheltered, and my boys won't be either.

But that's my family. How you handle yours is obviously up to you.

Just don't expect the rest of the world to conform to your rules.

The K-State band plays Rock N Roll part 1 and as Chiefs fans we are used to saying "We're gonna beat the hell out of you!", the K-State student body chant's "We're gonna beat the **** out of you!" in unison, clear as day.

I don't usually make a big deal out of it, standing on some soapbox and preaching. I get their attention, say "Hey, there's kids around. You might want to watch your language." Evertime I've done that, people have been contrite and ceased their use of foul language.

The funny thing is that people can always make their point without having to resort to cursing. From my perspective, using foul language is usually demonstrative of poor language skills and below average creativity.
