Guys, my kids have heard the words. They know what cuss words are, and they talk about the kids at schools that use bad language. Like I said, my kids are smart. We talk about it, and they know that my wife and I don't use that kind of language (around them), and that it's not acceptable.

Foul language is foul language for a reason. It's there, but just because they exist it doesn't mean you MUST use them. You talk about "freedom of speech", but that's a crock of it - there is nothing than can be expressed with cursing that can't be expressed without cursing. If you don't believe that, that's an issue with your own intellectual limitations and lack of linguistic creativity.

Likewise, it's completely arbitrary that they are "foul" in the first place. COMPLETELY ARBITRARY.
