I've never considered hell to be a swear, but if the f-bomb was in an article, I wouldn't be impressed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-curse-words-being-used-in-media#post-169620 Fri, 25 May 2012 19:02:26 +0000 autumnlove 169620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't really mind right now but that will probably change when my LO gets older. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-curse-words-being-used-in-media#post-169607 Fri, 25 May 2012 18:52:30 +0000 leelee 169607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: I completely agree! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-curse-words-being-used-in-media#post-169581 Fri, 25 May 2012 18:35:35 +0000 heffalump 169581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate curse words, I guess I'm old school, but they bother me all the time in general. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-curse-words-being-used-in-media#post-169516 Fri, 25 May 2012 17:22:44 +0000 MamaMoose 169516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cursing in general doesn't really bother me much. But when I see it in media my reaction is to think "were they not clever enough to come up with a good headline without having to swear?" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-curse-words-being-used-in-media#post-169507 Fri, 25 May 2012 17:04:34 +0000 eeh 169507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm equally disturbed by it in the lyrics of a song, probably more so because a child can repeat song lyrics before they can read. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-curse-words-being-used-in-media#post-169475 Fri, 25 May 2012 16:05:03 +0000 littlebug 169475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, I'm pretty disturbed by it. Not that I"m a saint and never swear (I can curse like a sailor during a bad day at work), but right out there in the open where it's accessible by anyone just doesn't feel right to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-curse-words-being-used-in-media#post-169472 Fri, 25 May 2012 16:03:05 +0000 Minnie_Girl 169472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For a long time curse words and lewd language were very much looked down on in publishing/media. Now they're putting f*ck in the titles of children's books...</p> <p>Not exactly progress, I'd say. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-curse-words-being-used-in-media#post-169450 Fri, 25 May 2012 15:38:08 +0000 mediagirl 169450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was upset today by an article I saw on MSNBC that was at the top of the website with the word "hell" in the title. I think it is highly inappropriate for news outlets to use curse words, no matter how mild they are, in their news stories. Is this really where we are headed? Into a culture where it is acceptable to curse on the news now?</p> <p>"JC Penney's 'Fair' pricing?<br /> Hell, no, we like being shafted!"</p> <p>How do you feel about curse words in print or other news media? </p>
