The singer Prince was recently in the news saying he will no longer use rude words in his music because it is disrespectful to women and children.
He said, ‘did you ever hear Muhammad Ali curse?’ "Would you curse in front of your kids? Your mother?" I agree with him, it all needs to go. TV, Movies, and Music has gotten out of hand. I say fine them big time like you would if they were in a restaurant or some other public place. Tom

Children were amongst the most regular and habitual film goers in the heyday of the cinema. It was generally agreed that their experience of film-watching was more intense than that of adults,owing to the visual impact of the medium and their emotional involvement with the stories. The cinema’s influence on children greatly preoccupied society’s cultural and educational elites. Few of the concerned groups would have dissented from the view expressed by Dr John Mackie, who edited the report of the Edinburgh Cinema Enquiry in 1933: ‘The public...should realise the importance that the cinema has assumed in the lives of the children. Seven children out of every ten go to the pictures at least once a week. Most children spend longer at the cinema than they do at many school subjects. Here is an influence of first importance.’Commentators on the cinema have frequently referred to adults’‘moral panic’ about the influence of films on children. But in what is the most thorough, thoughtful and illuminating study yet of children’s cinema-going experience in inter-war Britain, Sarah Smith qualifies and nuances that view. She concludes that there was not a ‘moral panic’ so much as a thoroughgoing and wide-ranging debate on the subject. She argues convincingly for the interaction of the regulation of children’s viewing from above and below; she traces the development of official film censorship and its application to children; she analyses the debates and conclusions of the four major local cinema enquiries in the 1930s (London, Birmingham, Edinburgh and Birkenhead); and she assesses the effectiveness or otherwise of particular regulatory restraints. There was, for example, the A certificate, which only permitted children to enter cinemas accompanied by an adult. Sarah Smith finds that some cinemas blatantly ignored the requirement and that children themselves asked adult strangers to take them in. I myself can recall that in the 1950 s, when I was still a teenager, a cinema manager asked me to take a group of unaccompanied children into an A film. Then there was parental authority and self-regulation by the children – both of which had variable results. Finally, drawing extensively on oral evidence, she vividly recreates the children’s interaction with the films – their involvement in Saturday matinees and cinema clubs, their behaviour in the auditorium, their imitation of the dress, speech and behaviour observed in the film. The whole study adds up to a major and welcome contribution to our understanding of the role of cinema in the lives of 1930s children. And it says among other things “Copying of film stars' dress and mannerisms, while especially popular with girls, was by means limited to them” It go on about the boys copying of film stars' gangsters and so on. So take that outside and beat it with a big stick.
If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

Freedom of speech only restricts governmental interference with expression. Laws that prohibit certain language in films are unconstitutional.

To express oneself I see no reason to swear and use foul language. I see many comedians who cannot get a laugh without using the "F Bomb" and other vulgarities and naturally the "kewl" audience thinks it is hilarious. If that floats your boat fine. We just see things differently.

Most classic and film noir films have no swearing. And still hit the ball out of the park ...

That's solely because of the motion picture censorship code that existed at the time. Prior to the code, however, and as indicated in an earlier post, swearing wasn't uncommon in films.

Actually, my favorite was a war movie where one of the characters came up to the Captain with a map and a local girl on his arm. Waving the map he says; "Captain, I've brought the lay of the land!"

Profanity, on notion of the profane outside the temple. Those of the inner circle, the people in high places, didn't get where they are today by using profanity.
