<p>Voted for: con</p>
<p>Debate topic was vague and useless. "Kids", "cursing" and, "many" are left undefined, the argument does not even attempt to qualify what they mean, or even examples supporting it besides some links. Overall, very poorly put together and very lazy argument. Con seems like they need to research how to make a debate prompt and how to defend a claim do we can have quality debates on this site and not waste our time.</p>

What

I don't need to respond to your arguments, tho next time better bring them in debate instead of trying to do whatever you are doing here.

If you meant to call me an "NPC", I would say that is not appropriate.
If you felt as if I was disregarding your opinion, I was not. I am sorry if you felt that way.

That is not true.
There is strong evidence which suggests that children, especially in their development stages, are more susceptible to habit formation.
So yes, swearing frequently can, or has a high likely to become default language pattern.
The solution I stated is simple, instead of letting children use abusive language, they should be allowed to show their frustration or anger in other more passive ways, such as using substitute words or doing a breathing exercise.

🤣

Agree to disagree.

...so no study proving your unjustified assumption?

those are just more assumptions. Heh I can do this all day.

Dodging again lol. Where’s the study that proves swearing benefits children? Not adults, children.

And stop appealing to “likeliness” like it’s doing analytical work lol. In any meaningful sense, probability/likelihood requires three things...a clearly defined outcome, a model or mechanism linking variables, and data to estimate how often that outcome occurs. Of course, you’ve provided none of those, just an unjustified conclusion...'it works in adults, so it likely works in children because of repetition based likeliness'.

That’s not probability...that’s an unsupported guess. You haven’t shown that the populations are comparable or that the positive effect transfers.

So...where's that study, buddy lol

So you don't know how likelihood works. Alright.

All good bro, it happens. Every debate has different time limits, I've had a hard time keeping up with mine. I accepted way too many up front...I was excited lol

Lol is avoidance your only debate strategy? Its a big world, you should try out other ways. Once again, you didn’t engage the substance of the argument...you just labeled it. Calling something “assumptions” isn’t a rebuttal unless you identify which claim is unsupported and show why.

And once again, you shifted the burden. You’re the one making a positive claim that swearing benefits children. That requires evidence. I don’t need to prove the opposite for your claim to fail.

Your core argument is an unsupported generalization...because something shows effects in adults, it likely applies to children. That’s not how development works. Children differ in habit formation and emotional regulation, which is exactly the point you didn’t address, twice now.

Saying “likelihood moves in favor” doesn’t establish anything without actual data or reasoning. It’s just a conclusion without justification, restated.

So your failure still remains...you still haven’t provided evidence that swearing produces better long term outcomes in children.

Can you provide a single study showing that children who swear develop better cognitive, emotional, or social outcomes than those who don’t?

Now, that seems like a very long response, which ignores that it's just bunch of assumptions.

And likeliness is determined by repetition. If we see something benefiting adults, and no proved reason to think it wont benefit children as well, the likeliness moves in favor.

Big surprise, you’re not able to support your own point and shifting the claim again. Your own topic is kids, but your evidence is based on adults lol. That doesn’t automatically apply to developing children, who are forming habits and emotional regulation patterns.

This also follows a pattern in your responses...focusing on style complaints, dismissing points without justification, making broad claims with little to no supporting evidence, and not actually advancing your own position with direct support. Resorting to insults like calling your opponents “programmed” or an “NPC” doesn’t strengthen your argument...its just you dodging because you don't have any substance to your arguments.

More importantly, you didn’t actually engage the core arguments (big surprise). The concerns about habit formation, long-term developmental outcomes in children, and whether any short-term benefits outweigh potential risks were not addressed. Pointing to isolated adult effects isn’t a response to those points.

Even if swearing provides short-term relief, that doesn’t make it beneficial long-term for kids. A behavior can feel good in the moment and still become a default coping mechanism that limits control over time.

You also never established what kind of benefits actually carry over from child to adult. Intelligence, emotional control, social outcomes...none of your sources show improvement in children specifically. At best, they show narrow effects in adults.

So your failure to.establish your point or refute/answer his remains...adult, situational findings don’t justify encouraging the behavior in kids.

Which of those core arguments did you directly refute with evidence...habit formation, child-specific outcomes, or long-term effects?

And can you provide a single study showing that children who swear develop better long term cognitive, emotional, or social outcomes than those who don’t?

Your arguments are basically unproved assumptions and irrelevant things which have no relations to benefits. My arguments are about benefits of cursing. I always used curse words when I was a kid, and the benefits of them are same as in adults, if not even better. Of course, I could have made more effort in a debate and expand it to personal freedoms as well, but what is repeatedly true is that making effort in debates doesnt matter much because most people are NPC (non-player characters). I am basically wasting my time explaining things to people who are programmed not to understand, instead of doing more important things in my life, such as research.

Lol. My bad. I missed the time limit for the argument. Sorry for the waste of debate:(

Also, why swearing curse words? Or bad words, what do you mean exactly?
Can we replace existing curse words with other forms of stress relief, especially for kid?

Apologies for my forfeiture..I missed my argument's given time.
Now, based on the articles you provided, it seems the point out the health benefits of swearing.
But you never stated what kind of benifit.
Kids are in their development stage, the tasks they perform repeatedly will become habitual in the future.
Even if done privately, because if swearing becomes their default emotional expression, it is no longer a benifit, rather a habit they cannot control.
You could use this argument for teens, since they are more so stable, but for children, it is a bad idea.

You have right to opinion, of course.

Lol I see you're using your favorite debate tactic, "I disagree, because you're wrong".

I appreciate your flawed opinion.

Lol I justified my reasons, you failed to write a well formed prompt, failed to define any terms, and then failed to defend your point besides lazily posting links. At best i coukd have rewarded a tie, but you consistently do this and have been told about it from what i've seen, and still continue. So you should be voted against instead of neutrally for purposefully avoiding learning and growth, and wasting other peoples time. They shouldn't have to respond to a poorly worded/defended prompt just for a disingenuous argument to follow.

thank you for obviously correct vote.

thank you for obviously biased vote.

The way you argue is more suited for a forum. It would be polite if you stayed in the forum.

this site has forum too. More fun there.

Lol Im not a fan of lying.

Now be a good boy and vote Pro.
