Come on, the majority of this forum are mature enough to handle swear words. Do we REALLY need to edit them out? can we at least replace them with something like f*ck instead of the stupid thing?

If you can't control yourself using normal words to get your words/meaning across to other people, you shouldn't be allowed to speak. simple as that, if you feel you need to swear, take a moment and step away from your pc and count to 10.

sometimes i use swear words to get a point across.

if you can't handle it, skip the words. take a deep breath, and count to ten.

i consider swear words to be normal words... how are they different?

"Whut? Nae cunt here&#39;s fucking swearing&#33;"

That&#39;s just outrageous. This is the worst example of profanity I have seen on this board.

How could you, there are young children reading this you know. This surely must call for a weeks ban.

For goodness sake mods, can&#39;t something be done about this. [/b][/quote]

Agreed. The internet remains one of the few true places where freedom of speech is recognized outside of US bounderies. In this community, everyone has a voice.

If I have to suffer thru broken english and spammers, then you can suffer thru the occasional F*U*C*K.

But seriously, this community can police itself. We don&#39;t need anyone to do it for us.

"You shouldn&#39;t be allowed to speak."

Where do you live. Don&#39;t you think that&#39;s taking censorship to it&#39;s extreme. If you don&#39;t express yourself in a way I feel appropriate then you have no voice.

well i think the curse/swear words are used way to easy...

Sometimes if you think about what you use instead of them you get a more constructive post...

Fuck you....
That&#39;s not true

i don't agree with you, 
i think it's different

In a way saying the same..... sounds a lot different though, think where the 1st one will put the original poster in an agressive defense, the 2nd one will start dialog...
So start thinking about using other words in stead of the curse ones

just my opinion................

Opinions are like (_o_)&#39;s... everybodys got one...

j/k jet je, i just really wanted to post a an ass on the forum, lol.

But u are true, some people tend to go overboard, i know i myself have let a few extras slip that werent maybe neccessary, but thank goodness i have the ability too, when need be, free speech, is not only key for expression, but integral the ability to have a free society.
