If they know how to shag at the age of 10, i think swearing isnt an issue.
This generation makes no difference between swearing and normal speech anyway, it's just another part of the language, where as the past generation has such a tabboo on it.

this generation is no different than the last when it comes to swearing.
I do feel we are being way too overprotective of kids today, but there are some things that are inappropriate for kids. Try working at a daycare with an 8 year old signing Love Game, "...I wanna take a ride on your disco stick!" The problem is they don't even know what they're saying.

Now some things are censored that shouldn't be, while some things that aren't censored should be. But what it boils down to in my mind, is that why are parents listening to that music with their kids anyways. I'll probably listen to classic rock or something when my (future) kids are that age. Today's pop music, rap, hip hop is not appropriate for kids, regardless of censoring.

A million times this.

I was on the train yesterday and two little kids ran passed, he must have been 5 or 6, and he was yelling to his sister to give his smurfing toy back to him. Sure I wasn't going through the nicest town in the world, but I was still surprised at someone so young.

At that age I don't see how censoring would make much difference; he got that from his parents.

That said, a little censoring is a good thing, it means that people are trying at least a little bit to control what images young minds are exposed to.
