Parents wonder where their kids get this language? All you have to do is get on a school bus or go to a school yard, something that parents can't imagine. The Walkmans and radio gear that the kids are listening to, that's where they hear it.

Umm... Back when I was "on a school bus" or in a "school yard", and this was thirty+ years ago, the language in use was just as bad. And not because we heard it on "Walkmans". Kids learned it from other kids, just as they learned how to play Kick the Can, and the lyrics to "Jingle Bells, Santa Smells", as it has been since the dawn of man.

I'm a little older than you, and the language certainly was NOT as bad in my day. J.J. is closer to my age than yours because I remember him on TV when I was about 25.
