Re: WILL.I.AM's comment on Einstein

I have two views on this, which are contradictory to one another.

First, I don't think I would have used Will's words if I was in that situation. I think if I had young children, I would not have wanted them to hear those words. Will's passion spilled over and he cursed because that phrase was the best one he could think of to capture his emotions at the time. Whenever I hear children curse, it is just for the sake of cursing. Until people have the maturity to know the difference, I don't see a need to use profanity.

The other view I have is that while I would not have used Will's words, I don't think I have a right to tell him how to speak. Maybe I do, but why should he listen? He's an adult who understands actions have consequences. He seems to have done a decent job with his life up to this point without me handling his PR.

Finally, for the people talking about "kids in the audience", I see two sides. If you are the parent/guardian of a child who heard this, it's an unfortunate situation. Sorry for the uncomfortable conversation you may need to have with that child. If you are not a parent/guardian, please stop. You are not defending a group who cannot defend themselves, you are just picking a fight.

This conversation is such a train wreck.
