Sorry for quoting you guys in particular but, it's confession time...
I learned to swear (including the F-word) when I was probably about six years old (from the neighbor kid). I had a very vulgar mouth after that, but of course not while adults were around. And yet I turned into a highly responsible adult. I have multiple degrees, own businesses, was an airline pilot, mentor kids, etc. - all despite being exposed to swear words when I was a young kid. I seriously think people get way too uptight about this stuff.
And in another thread there was talk of me being an "old man". BTW, that was back in the early 80's, so I would argue that times haven't changed all that much.
Sorry if you all have lower opinions of me now.
