Well...I must say that my first choice was going to be to not curse in front of young children but I realized that that varies among cultures (as most things do). My apartmentmate and I had a talk about it and it could go either way. In a television series, Hit and Miss, set in England, most of the kids speak with curse words and such to the adults. Though, now that I think about it, the characters that I've heard it from are within the age range of 13-16.
Anywho, this is about the responsibilities of being a citizen. This relates to the question of "is being a citizen a choice". Cause, ya know, you don't really choose where you will be born and you can't always just up and leave. Even then, wherever you go, aren't you just an immigrant then? Well, at least for a little while til you get those ah-fi-shull documents that the word seems to revolve around.
As for me, I'm not sure what civic duties I will fulfill. So far it seems the only ones I have, have been PAYING TAXES. Taxes are so lovely...especially when you already work .25 above the minimum wage. But I did get the awesomely crowded buses and pot-holed streets. Those are always a plus.
Oh taxes. What civic duties to have bestowed upon me.
I feel your pain but it is the part of process of growing up.
