Nothingness

So they are "just words" and people shouldn't be "offended" by them or give a "power" to them and yet you do not swear around your son as much as on this forum or in real life. Why? I thought they were "just words" No need to give them "power"

Because the social convention is that kids could not swear, and I do not want other people to judge him based on the words he copies from his father. Oh, and my wife would kick my ass.

If people weren't so uptight about it, I wouldn't give a shit if my son swears.

I really do not understand what you're talking about here. You've given us a lecture about not giving a crap about what other people think because these are "just words" and now you're saying that you don't want your son learning these words from you because of what other people think? So which is it, do we care about what other people think or not? Either we make a big deal out of them or we don't, it's as simple as that really (from my perspective anyway).
