A Report on Swearing in Online Games
A Next Generation article references an informal study done on the frequency of swearing on Xbox Live. From the study: "When you logon to Xbox live more often then not you will be greeted by a 14 year old that learned a new word on the playground that day, or maybe it's the drunken 24 year old who hates black people, gays and anyone who isn't in his frat. No matter who you are if you have played on live you have run into cursing and lewdness. If you look at the rating for the game you can see that it is intended for ages 17+ but parents don't care/understand/listen so lots of underage kids have [Halo 2]." Warning: links contain profanity.
Your 'homeschooled' kids will learn all that stuff anyway as soon as they escape from the house and get that job at Mickey D's because they can't get into college and aren't qualified for a real job.
Go live in fucking communist China where they'll filter everything for you, you dirty meddling cunt.
