I'm willing to play by the rules here, but let's be honest - this is not about "the kids", its about their parents. Most of us know, if we can remember back to when we were kids, that neither cable TV, satellite radio, R/X/NC-17-rated movies, nor the internet have anything more shocking or offensive than what kids hear all the time on the playground. The "kid-friendly" rules are for parents who wish to believe otherwise.

To say on TV or radio, NOT in private.

A radiostation or TV station caught doing it could be fined, sanctioned and, possibly, LOSE THEIR LICENSE!

I realize that's true, but it still doesn't change the fact that kids were always kids, and always used the most obscene words that they knew, told the most sexually explicit stories they could imagine, and generally said whatever would generate the greatest shock effect around other kids.

You're right about all that, but it didn't seem like young kids knew about all that. Even some CONCEPTS seemed more abstract to them. Frankly, I don't remember hearing anything sexually explicit at that age.

Well tell me this: before all the sex and curse words in the media were kids really _nicer_ to their peers than they were in my time, or than they are today? Because the impression I get from my parents and other people of their generation is that _THEY WEREN'T!_

They certainly weren't in MY time(Early sixties)! Based on programs I saw, sayings , and the fact such things don't "just happen", I doubt it was better within the 50 years or so preceding my birth. I'm sure it wasn't better before THAT! Nobody claimed that though.

In fact, I've told myself that if there ever is a WP meet-up in London, I'll go. Why London? Well, it's not that far from here, and there are some other people there I'd like to meet in real life.

I will be in Israel (Tel-Aviv) in November and want to plan a meeting with any Israeli aspies I can get here on WP and in aother forums. If you are in Israel and want to meet with me/us, let me know by sending me a PM here in WP.

No I don't mind kids on here. In fact I hardly notice any, I see teens and adults on here. That's because I don't even go to the kid section. Most of them are there.

I don't cuss online just out of habit from other forums. I am glad that kids use this forum though, I wish I would have found out about it earlier.

Am I minding the kids on WP?....Of course.
I don't use any language that may been taken as obscene, or talk about things that may upset young children or is inappropriate.
As far as i'm concerned, if anyone wants to do that, they should do it in the adults only forum.
Although, I do believe that people CAN survive without the use of profanity...even though it seems as some think otherwise. :roll:

I don't even know what's inappropriate for kids to hear in regard to the content of posts. I think ALL of it is inappropriate. Hypocrisy, pecking order, aspies who never succeeded in forming a family, who are constantly fired from job to job, afraid of a lonely and destitute death, ageing alone and rejected, etc. etc. In real life, we adults never talk about these things when there are kids around, but the internet is another thing.

In gral., I don't know how the kids of our times will differ from those of the past, when there's so much info on the web about things that in our times as children there was zero chance we'd hear. In our times, we mostly heard our parents' views on things. Today, a kid is exposed to all kinds of views on something. I wish there had been internet when I grew up.
