Swear as in saying Profanity. Sorry I'm a bit old. I realize that "swear" isn't a word people use nowadays, especially not outside the United States of America.Wait, so @dj1200 is your account?

yeah like little kids swearing and their parents just sit there. I judge ppl for that.
But there's nothing wrong with kids swearing.Tell that to my teacher from Primary School.

People who support the moral decline in society.
People who think that the alternative is a dictatorship authoritarian prison.
Swearing is most definitely not this.
Whenever someone says
"I'm not an animal person"
"I don't like animals"
"I hate dogs"
"I hate cats"
or something similar.
Yup. I understand not everyone wanting to be a pet owner, but people that negatively react to animals even being around are just broadcasting to the world that they are miserable unpleasant people. (exceptions allowed for allergies)
What is your name from? Revelation 3:4?
It's a word.
A random word with numbers on the end of it? No meaning whatsoever? If so, that's cool. Or perhaps....you'd prefer to remain illusive.
What is your name from? Revelation 3:4?"Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy."

Kids need to learn to read the room and use language appropriate for the situation. Tell kids not to swear helps them prepare better for the work environment and formal settings.The world is changing, swearing is seeping into professional settings slowly, by the time current little kids are in the work force all the boomers that care about swearing will be dead

The acceptability of any given no-no word varies over time and always will, but what's constant is the need to be aware of your setting and your audience in choosing how to speak. There are always going to be things you should avoid saying around strangers until you know that it won't make them uncomfortable, and the interpersonal intelligence needed to recognize what is and is not appropriate is a skill that must be developed.
When you (properly) teach kids not to swear in public, that's not just a matter of "don't say that word." It's a matter of "some people here might not be comfortable with you saying that word, and you should respect that until you're more familiar with them and learn that it's okay." It's part of teaching them to read the room, which in turn is a critical part of teaching them to be a respectful person.
Quite simply, there's a time and a place for swearing. Kids aren't going to learn that effectively if no restrictions are placed on them, even if those restrictions seem silly to adults that have learned that time and place and don't see an issue with the particular setting in question.

I wouldn't have even wasted my time on delivering such a rational response.
Often, writing something like that is as much about crystallizing my own rationale as it is trying to convince other people. Whatever it does to change anyone's mind (and it probably won't do much, given who we're dealing with), I better understand and feel more confident in my position for having taken the time to compose and write that, and I do see some value in that.
Just wondering, what do you think of people with animal phobias? Or people who don't like certain aspects of animals, like dogs barking? Not trying to be defensive, just curious.
Being put off or disliking aggressive or overly loud animals is reasonable. Disliking dogs, because some are loud or aggressive is not.
I do not support this level of detatchemnt from reality.
