I have a filthy mouth. But I moderate my speech without even thinking about it according to the environment, the people I am around, etc. And I will admit that I curse around my kids, and my older children also curse. But I was raised in a home where the curse words were bandied around freely and with great joy. We don't have a problem with it. It's not that we are trashy, ill-bred or disrespectful, in fact both of my parents are educated successful people, who just happen to cuss alot. It's a wonderful form of expression when combined with an overall healthy and vibrant vocabulary. But I do believe there are appropriate times to moderate speech for the sake of respect for others. And like I said, in my family, that just comes naturally.
