I don't answer for my generation, I only have to answer for myself. My son's career and his success in life testifies to some degree of success in my parenting, but that's personal data so... :shaking2:

I have posted my opinions. I have clearly stated they were my opinions. You don't like them, too bad. :tease2:

Regardless of the actual topic, I like this answer....very transportable.

You need lots of work on your reading and comprehension skills. I can almost guarantee they taught your butt to take your lid off when you went in doors, to salute your officers and you didn't cuss up a storm around the general's wife, now did you?

For the record, I'm not at any natty guard post, I'm not even military, just a military parent, so again, you have no idea what you're talking about, but don't let that slow you down.

I have been around enough military to know that they understand what decorum is about, but I guess you're the exception.

Sorry for lumping the thread topic and your post into a single thought. I'll re-phrase.

I don't know which natty guard post your CHILD is sitting at but the military is where I heard the most colorful and foul language from the most colorful and FOULEST of people.

Saluting a ranking officer, tipping your cover to ladies, and minding your p's and q's does not a saintly person make.

At least I don't have the comprehension and behavior of a five year old. Good job proving most of my points, though. :drool:

quite clearly, despite direct proof opposite of this, you're right. i am on the same level as a five year old. i guess to be mature and well-mannered, i should get on here and spout my personal achievements. better yet, how about i go get my dad on here to pat himself on the back about his parenting skills.

come off it, guy. your point was failed many, many posts ago. you have come across as a pompous, ignorant tool to most of us on here. you need to get off your high horse. the fact that you do not condone cursing at a college football game does not make you any better than me, nor anyone else on this board. the fact that you feel the need to vindicate your parenting skills (based solely on your son being in the military. for the record, i am in no way speaking negatively of the armed forces. i have the utmost respect for the men and women who lay their lives on the line for the sake of our freedoms. i am merely pointing out that your qualifications to be a "good parent" are met by some of the scummiest people in the country) on a message board makes me question your maturity level.

as i've stated previously, people should be aware of their surroundings and know what they are getting into. at a college football game, there will be drunk college kids who are going to be obnoxious. if that behavior bothers you, don't show up. it is not a staple of this generation anymore than smoking pot and acting out against "the man" was a product of (i'm guessing) your generation. it is simply a product of young adults/kids being young adults/kids.

i apologize if i have offended you with my infantile behavior. i hope to one day meet your standards of morality and decency. :good!:

You seem pretty determined to put words in my mouth because I stood up for self-control and decent manners. You do realize that in arguing with me, you are defending the opposite, right?

I do think it's a shame that people don't consider the presence of children as enough reason to self-censure their language, but I did NOT say that I didn't expect cussing to happen at a football game, so you're putting words in my mouth. Should young children be excluded from football games or would it make more sense for the young adults at said game to exercise some self-control?

Furthermore, I did not brag on my parenting skills, so again, you're putting words in my mouth. My only mention of my parenting was when someone tried to lump me into a generation that had "dropped the ball" on parenting their children. I definitely did not drop the ball in the sense that was implied, so I defended myself only to have you make a mountain out of a mole hill and put even more words in my mouth. I also did not imply that the simple fact that my son was in the military meant that I was a great parent, but his success does mean that I did something right. Again, pay close attention here, "did something right" and "testifies to some degree of success in my parenting" are not equal to "I'm the greatest parent on the planet", okay?

I suspect that most of the people on here that are so gung ho about defending the use of the "f-bomb" in public have never had their 3 year old daughter, son or grand-child look up to them and say "Dad, what does f*** mean?", but yet I'm the "pompous, ignorant tool on a high-horse", right? Does foul language happen at a football game? Yes. Should it be defended as acceptable behavior in spite of the fact that football games are family events? I don't think so.

I don't, and I hope you never do. Besides I am pretty sure the military fights for our right to be colorful in our dialoge. I am pretty sure they use it while defending it. If some dude was shootin a machine gun at you.... I doubt you would say Geee Golly. I think cussing is great at ball games too.

Cussing is a necessary evil at sporting events. Without it, we would have no way to adequately express to those around us our distaste for what just happened on the field.

Just tell your kid you hope they don't act like that and use that language. Your hopes of how they behave will mostly be up to them when they get older. Trying to hide that dirty little word won't work. It's in pop culture, other kids at school, tv, and so on. Your not going to hide your kids from it. You can install that you don't approve of it, but you won't stop the use of it. When your daughter gets older and may or may not decide to slam back a few appletines and swear. Get over it... You can't hide it from them forever. I've known some college professors to use it in their classes. Their will be a little kid as probably as early as 4th or 5th grade who is going to spew it from their face. Hiding from it will not stop it.

yes, i am absolutely putting words into your mouth (note the sarcasm).

you have implied throughout this thread that you are better than the rest of us because you don't condone this kind of language while the rest of us do. that, my friend, is why you're a pompous tool on a high horse.

If a coach feels the need to fly off with off color expletives during a game where young children and ladies are in earshot, well, he is demonstrating a lack of upbringing or something.

I agree, but the trend in my opinion is moving in the direction of less focus on respect and self-discipline in children, because Americans in general seem to value those qualities less than they did when I was a teenager.

as far as you bragging about your parenting, you did it. you may not have directly stated that your parenting made you "the greatest parent ever," but the implication behind the comment was to show how great a parent you are (and if that was not the intent, you worded in a manner that came off as sheer arrogance).

My son's career and his success in life testifies to some degree of success in my parenting, but that's personal data so...

i suspect i am, in fact, interpreting it correctly and you're going back in an attempt to modify your argument to suit your new agenda.

your assertion that i am arguing on the behalf of the people cussing is misplaced, by the way. i rarely curse. however, i am reasonable enough to know it goes on and don't get my undies in a twist when it happens. also, where did i ever imply that children should be excluded from football games? i think anyone should come if they want. they just need to know what to expect. if they don't like it, then they should avoid it. your ire towards the "f-bomb" at football games does not make you, your generation, nor your son any better than the rest of us. despite this, you have made several snarky comments throughout this thread attesting to your superiority. so, again i say, come down from your ivory tower and join the rest of us miscreants. it's a fact of life, not some rampant problem singular to today's american youth.

Furthermore, you have yet to make a valid counter argument other than your dogmatic point that "people shouldn't do it."

Honestly, who's fault is it if you're chilling with a tiger and the thing gets hungry for "you meat?"

It's the same thing here. People can cuss. It isn't illegal or against the rules. If someone shows up at a game with their kid, they should expect to hear some colorful language. That is a fact.

And it is probably from ME! Beware, I've learned some new cuss words.

I'm pretty sure that cussing is not tolerated on VolNation.

That Freak sure is in a high ivory tower. I thought I saw someone up here with me. :)

There seems to be a lot of that going on in this thread. The thread title should be changed to "Misinterpret one of the posts above yours". :dunno:
