Today, after creating a swear jar for my son, I came back to find a $20 bill in it and him saying, "How much does that buy?" FML
I agree, your life sucks 11 369
You deserved it 2 450

I still don't understand the concept of why some words, for no good reason, are considered "bad". It's a word, get over it.

Slurs are "just words" yet I'm pretty sure a lot of people would disagree with you if you were to tell them "get over it."

Swear words only got labeled as profanity because the Church considered it to a blasphemous act and offensive to God. 16, there is difference between words used to hurt and normal profanity. For example, "What the f**k?!" should not be offensive as it is merely an exclamation. "F**k you!" would be considered offensive because it is meant as an insult to an individual.

Slurs are meant to hurt people, how can you even ******* compare them?? They are aimed towards people who have been the target of hatred and probably worse things. It has all that attached to it. ****, damn, shit any of those have something like that attached to them?

Tell him "one". And don't let him take the money back

Looks like the price goes up, $1.00 per word.... He'll be broke in no time....

Here's one for you OP- everyday after school make him write out a page of cuss words front and back- can not repeat a word- at the end of the week any word left off- are words he can say no punishment- and you have a well thought out list to collect on !!!

Ditto, I would've been sucking on a bar of soap before I'd finished uttering the last syllable. I would've also felt the wrath of a large wooden spoon on my back side.

it's ok, the jar will still work. if he gets conscious about how much he swears he could kick the habit. Keep up with it and count every time he does it out loud non judgementally, and then keep charging him.

don't ******* count on it! I was a living testament to "swearing like a sailor" (besides the fact that I'm not a sailor) and I have tried to reform, with some success, but I can still kick some serious ass without even trying when it comes to rattling off swear words

It buys the online trailer to the new movie Bad Santa 2 - at the going rate of $1 per F#.

Now you get to set the price. "one." and if he doesn't have another 20, chores.

Clever little bugger. It's not the lesson in consequences you intended but you can't argue with his logic.

I'd say 'I think that's a ******* good start' ;)
