    Do parents really believe their kids don't swear?

    I remember in school all the lads and some of the girls as well cursed like troopers.

    when I was young, my mother started using the F word so much that I remember looking it up in the dictionary...

    ok then there is part of my point - if broadcasters are 'shielding' the children from swear words and profanities and more than likely a lot of these school children swear like troupers and hear a load of swear words and could most probably teach us grown up some new words ... then why have broadcasters got rules (whether they be official or otherwise) to not be allowed to swear until 9pm?

    Or as I say do we want to listen to a tirade of swearing 24 hours a day on TV and radio even if kids swear like troupers ... do we still really want to end up like that?
