Frankly, neither are appropriate.

I was thinking about Cheney too. I quess we can just continue with the " hey, Bush and Cheney did it too"
Lets not forget Clinton who made a BJ exceptable for our teens and now our kids can say the eff word. What great mentors our leaders are.
I believe "F you" to the American people has been acted out enough by Pelosi and crew.

If your kids think swearing is acceptable, it's no one else's fault but your own. People shouldn't allow the village to raise their kids.
Politicians are anything but mentors for children - lying, greed, wastefulness and selfishness are rampant in all areas of politics. Parents should be the mentors and role models for the upcoming youth, not someone that's out for their own personal gain.

Has anyone seen the new series on SyFi: Caprica? They are using "frack/fracken/etc for the f-word variants so don't be surprised if in general conversation this doesn't become commonplace. Although, F*** is all too common in everyday conversation.

 Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

If you think teaching your kid not to swear when every jock and most political figures cuss up a storm is possible, I would like to know your methods. Every kid swears, sorry to break it to you.
You have to learn to shut it off..... In front of Grandparents, bosses and when signing the most important bill ever introduced.

Ah yes. The proverbial "It's their fault, not mine." Did you know that video games are to blame for Columbine too?

But did you post in any threads when Cheney did it (I believe on the floor??) or do you have a double standard?
Let's see - in this post alone you called the VP a complete idiot and said that Pelosi and crew gave the "Fyou to the American People". Seems like you wouldn't be such a great mentor.
