yep , I agree with what your saying , kids do know these words , but you don't use them in front of your kids and would probably be upset if people visiting your home also used bad language .......so why is it acceptable for people to think its ok for family viewing ,not sure what times the programs I used as examples were aired on UK TV , but get the impression Torchwood is a spin off from Dr. Who, which in 'my day' was shown on Childrens hour

maybe some of the American puritanism is starting to rub off on me
