Good, I'm not alone, then. I swear we're a minority.
Wait, I said minority. It's okay for me to say minority, right? Just making sure.
Honestly? I'm not a fan of government restrictions in general; as far as I'm concerned, there's two four-letter words (one starts with an F, the other with a C) which should be censored before ten or so, and things should be free afterward... but then, as PLAR said, the parents would actually have to do something.
Which they won't. I didn't even know the "C-word" until I was fourteen. Meanwhile, I see eleven, twelve-year-old kids using it... obviously because of its shock value. I think we've got to stop letting ourselves be surprised and offended by these "bad" words - it's the only way they'll lose their shock value.
(And yes, I agree with the consensus - if a group of urban blacks insists that "n***a" is a term of endearment, like "man" or "dawg" or "homie", then people of any race damn well ought to be able to use it in that context without fear of persecution. It seems stupid to me, anyway - you don't see Latinos calling each other "beaner", do you? I sure don't.)
