why dont they just fine his parents. I grew up in a house where swearing was certainly not allowed and never swore at all. My wife is from a family that swears constantly and she swears like a sailor. Since marrying her I've picked up the bad habit and sometimes drop F-bombs when we are fighting. When you hear people swearing all the time, its hard to stop yourself when angry. Does it really matter anyway, they are just words, and they weren't said at anybody. Any kids near the finish line have definately heard people swearing at school, from the parents, on TV, on the street, wherever. And where do we draw the line, is there a list of off the limit swears. So we got, f*ck, sh*t, a$$, damn? What else is off limits. How about fricken, crap, darnit, or taking the lords name in vain? All can be offensive to certain people. I agree that who is Massachussetts to decide what is offensive or not. Gays getting married and kissing in public is offensive to me, I dont want my kids seeing that, but I would never complain about it publicly.
