Why do some people teach their children ideas or "morals" that are eventually going
|
||
|
|
to be disregarded later in their life. Why do people teach their kids that their are some words
|
||
|
|
that are bad and saying them is wrong when these kids are going to realize that it actually
|
||
|
|
isn't wrong. I'm talking about expletives or, as some people like to call them, curse words.
|
||
|
|
The idea of bad words is a completely arbitrary one. A word that offends one person will be
|
||
|
|
considered eloquent by someone else. Our predominately christian society fails to realize this
|
||
|
|
simple premise. Yet even the people who buy into the whole idea that saying a word can be
|
||
|
|
immoral, still do it when they are angry. If they happen to be with somebody then they might
|
||
|
|
say something like "oh, pardon my language back there", but they don't really have a deep
|
||
|
|
concern for what they did. If on the other hand, a five year old says something like "shut the
|
||
|
|
hell up" it is appalling to them. So people punish their kids whenever they say one of these
|
||
|
|
words. Then sometime around third or fourth grade in their time alone with friends they pass
|
||
|
|
around expletives to each other like doritos. Sooner or Later they find out their parents are
|
||
|
|
full of shit, tell their parents they are full of shit, and get grounded for saying the word "shit".
|
||
|
|
When they grow up they become good cursing Americans like everybody else, have children
|
||
|
|
of their own and repeat the whole process. It isn't only fundamentalist christians doing this
|
||
|
|
either. There are people who own every season of South Park on dvd that still try to convince
|
||
|
|
their kids that there are words that are wrong to say. These people either know they are lying
|
||
|
|
to their kids or are in denial. Either way it's not very good parenting.
