I see you found BigStick's video's!

[Ray]

Should have filled his bear tag at the same time.

[jackelope]

not that guy again. he sure has a good mouth around his kids.
what a doorknob.

[MasterTracker]

That guy did have a mouth on him I wasn't to happy about that.  But it was a funny video to watch! Thought I'd see more replys of the video.

[Snowman]

Not a bad video, but did he shot the bear. Can't really say much on the language around the kids as I've been known to use vowl words around mine, But I'm not anywhere near as bad as when he was born. When you kids first word is f_c_ you learn pretty quick on changing your mouth when there around. Wife damn near kicked my a_s for that.

[Head-shot]

Yeah funny video except for the guys mouth around his kids. I'm sure they are making him proud when they are at school. That has always been something that bugs me, I met lots of guys like that in the military and some of them thought it was cool to hear their kids talking like that. I'm not saying I have the greatest vocabulary at times but I at least try not to drop the F-bomb around them

[DeKuma]

What a tool.

Yeah... I guess if you shelter your kids, home school them, don't let them watch TV/movies, and never take them to a sporting event... they'd never learn that kind of language. Seems to me 'stick spends a lot of time afield with his kids, doesn't baby them, and doesn't make excuses for them... I reckon hearing a little foul language is a small price to pay for spending time with your dad. I ain't sayin' it's right... but it's a whole lot better than most kids get, if their dad is even around. I'm as guilty as the next guy for flingin' an expletive... maybe more... and maybe around an occasional child. But, I'll be damned if I'm going to let someone tell me how to talk to or around my kid(s)... I'm sure Larry feels the same. Enjoy the videos, they're all pretty cool... turn the sound off if you have to.

[Snowman]

Ya know I look at it this way. They are going to hear them period. And you'll find that alot of it comes from schools. Just teach them that they aren't old enough to talk like that. Fowl language is every where, they hear worse on tv. Don't let your kids watch the cartoon channel after 9pm it's all adult cartoons, sex, swearing and etc. Just got to be the parent and teach them. I know most here do. But you'd be surprised at your kids buddy's mouth and the parents don't do nothing.

[Abolt338]

True, they're going to hear it everywhere, but who do these kids look up to the most?

When they hear it everywhere, but they don't hear their dad and mom do it, don't you think that might motivated them to refrain?

Hearing the words instills knowledge of the words, hearing them come freely from the people that you most revere instills a feeling of acceptance...and if the parents cuss in front their kids but expect them not to...it instills resentment due to hypocrisy.

Just a thought...

What? That must be the CA side talking.... I think you can do more damage to a kid by treating them like a kid, than you can with a little foul language and some time afield with Dad.... no matter what the psycho-babble parenting magazines say. I'd much rather see a potty-mouthed 10 year old hunting and fishing with his old man... than a squeeky clean 10 year old Jr. Democrat than needs 'acceptance' from everyone around them.

[ICEMAN]

Josh, be it Liberal or Conservative, teaching and allowing kids to use fowl language is not doing them any good. Of course they hear it. They also hear and see sex, drugs and crime. In my opinion, a parent who cares, will teach their kid by example. By exersizing the strength and control to limit what we say and do, things that others families and kids do daily, is a good life lesson. Just because "they" do it, doesnt mean "you" need to, or make it right. This acceptance of others is crap. Set the example. Don't just give in to your neighbors poor decision making.

I swear and cuss. I have a potty mouth at times.  I have the self control to limit it when around kids.

That's exactly my point... let others raise their children in a manner they see fit. Larry spends quality time with his children, he makes no excuses for them and holds them accountable for their actions (and I'm sure their words)... he is not concerned with the 'acceptance of others', he's concerned with raising children who can be their own people. This is not 'poor decision making'... rather, it's a rational decision to disregard some of the conventional wisdom (oxymoron) which you seem to favor. Again... constant foul language around children probably isn't the best idea... that I'll conceed. However, the good far offsets the bad in this situation. Bad language falls far down on the list of things I don't want my children exposed to... things like accountability, free thinking, decision making, and consiquences are a much bigger concern to me.

I'm not saying it should be perfectly acceptable to have a class full of 9 year olds dropping F-Bombs... but that's where the learning of consiquences and accountability come in. We've learned where those words are acceptable, and where they're not... children will learn the same thing very quickly too, unless their parents and other authority figures don't hold them accountable (which is the true crime here). Poor parenting isn't defined by language, it's defined by results... untill we've all raised perfect kids, I think we should keep the rocks inside our glass houses. ~Josh
