Was the stuff in Bulldog's Poll too vulgar for a 6th-grader? [Archive]

I think our society is way too puritanic for my liking, but then again my morals suck. What do you guys think? Curious to see how everyone feels about this.

Maybe I was just a bad kid and maybe this is biased (because I was surely one of the people using vulgar language), but I know when I was in 6th grade my friends and I had all sorts of crazy stuff to say. If I had come to this board it wouldn't have shocked or opened my eyes up to the world or anything, but I've always been a pretty open and social person. 6th grade isn't that young. It's old enough to think for yourself. I like to treat younger kids as adults until they prove otherwise.

As for locking or unlocking the thread? Can't say it matters to much to me, but if we unlock it I'll be sure to tone it down.

I think the key is the phrase "for a 6th-grader". If I was a dad I don't think I'd want my 11/12 year old son getting that advice.

PS, Bulldog, just become Tom Brady, then you'll have hot women wear wedding dresses and propose to you and press conferences.

I can't say from a dads perspective because I'm not one, but I wouldn't want my son to be kept away from reality b/c it isn't PG. Am I giving to much credit to a 6th grader? I like to fantasize that people can think for themselves.

That's a good point, I pretty much knew what everything was in 6th grade.

I didn't see what got deleted that caused the thread to be locked, but I don't think that the stuff we were talking about was too "vulgar". It was mostly about women and relationships in general.

Nah, there was stuff that was a little vulgar, but I knew all of that in 6th grade. But that's just me. However, I think that the language does need to be toned down just in case.

Yea, my brother coaches a 4th-6th grade baseball team you should just hear what they say in 1 day.

I'm an assistant coach (defensive backs) for my former highschool, and every summer the Junior high kids come up and practice with varsity (Junior high for us is 7th and 8th grade, but close enough) and their mouths are every bit as foul as the varsity, and trust me... it's bad. Maybe that's why I look at a 6th grader as more mature than most of the other people on this board.

He could the handle the cursing and vulgarity but it shouldn’t be done anyway. It’s not hard not to curse or be respectful.

We should direct him to the sports betting FAQ section of the website for when he gets his own bank account. Sorry, I’m just joking.

Well, it was more like PG 13, which a kid like that would probably be allowed to see.

When I locked the thread, which is what mods do, I deleted the last post by NNC...that is the only reason I locked the thread. So doing some poll people didn't even read that post IS POINTLESS.

I made a comment about a time I had sexual relations (not the act of love) with a women when I was younger. I personally didn't think it was offensive or I obviously wouldn't have said it.

I apologized to Matt and whoever else may have found in offensive or inappropriate and I'll tone it down. Still though, I don't think it was that bad. If you want to see that last post uhh and you're over the age of 18 or have parental consent then you can PM me.

Like I said though... I didn't think it was offensive. I apologize to those who did. I'll tone it down. I'm ready to drop it/move on when everyone else is... didn't seem like a big deal to me.

Lol I'm not to worried about it animal, but thanks. I know Walter read the post and I doubt he's going to punish it beyond deleting the post.

I doubt it too. I'm just wondering if Bulldog will ever tell us how it turned out, unless you scarred him for life:)

Haha, he never saw my post as far as I know. I hope he does let us know how it went.

I forgot to advise him not to tell this girl, at least right away, about his deep interest in football. I don't think a 12year old girl would be too excited about that, at least the ones I knew back then.

um... you guys could probably tone it down just a little but it doesn't really bother me. I mean its my own choice not to say or to say something. Kids cuss at school all of the time so i am used to it but i wont ever cuss.thats for sure

Shows what you know about 6th grade relationships Walter. I give them at least until forever, maybe more.
