What started as a no swearing club at a junior high has picked up steam nationwide. Is this where we're going one day or will freedom of speech & choice somehow prevail? Does everyone think that their opinions & preferences should be made into laws these days? Am I the only one who watched the futuristic setting of Demolition Man and thought it would be a bad idea to live like that??

Bill J, therein lies the problem. I enjoy swearing for humor and emphasis on serious issues in the appropriate setting. However, I'm able to skip the swearing while at work and other places. It doesn't take much more than common sense and courtesy. There's no easy fix that will make people respectful of others. Though going to the extreme opposite of freedom of speech is definitely not the answer either.
If someone swears in front of your kid, you explain to your kid why it was inappropriate for them to do that. You don't hide your kid from it and pretend it's not there.

Owek, swear words are some of the most powerful words in our language. They're brutally honest and without sugarcoating. Yes, there's a time & place where it's best to do without them, but someone shouldn't be considered ignorant just for swearing. That's definitely the wrong answer.

I agree with you that we need watch over our freedoms as Americans. However, when people with little or no values or morals feel it is their right to use every foul and filthy word in the presence of children, families, and in public, something should be done. I really do not think this law is a good idea, the principle behind it is great though. Why is it so hard to be considerate and respectful of others today. These people want us to respect their rights, what about ours?

I think its a good idea because most people just think its cool to swear all the time while all it really does is make them look ignorant
