Free Speech?

How much vulgar and profane talking are we supposed to have to listen to, because of free speech?
I choose to speak up and tell people I am offended. I had to do this tonight at work. I work in a toy store, and three teenage boys walked in. They were acting ok at first, but then they began picking up toys, and saying things such as “This looks like a dildoe; this one looks like a bong”.
They proceeded to do this, calling different childrens toys by the names for sex toys and drug
paraphernalia.
I went over to them, and asked them to keep their talk to a “G” rating, seeing as it was a “G” rated store. (even though they were the only customers in the store at the time).
They said “Oh, sorry!”, and then began to talk a little different, until they were leaving. Then one of them swore, and looked at me and said “sorry”.
Yeah right!
I find myself getting bolder to tell people not to use certain words in front of my kids too.
It is time to use our freedom of speech, and speak up for what is right.
We also need to stop things such as birth control being given to kids. If you want to sign a petition to end it, visit http://www.aclj.org

We need to stand up and do what we can to make sure our kids are safe, both from what cna be done to them, and what influences are around them.
For other things we need to speak up on, read this.
