Language Violation

[Billy_Dean]

All this censorship talk is just crap! If there's a rule that you don't swear, then don't swear, simple. If you do, and you're censored, too bad, them's the rules.

Censorship is the way to go... for sure.

But it should be by the people for the people. Get the drift? None of us NEED a mod or admin to censor our profane posts. WE should be doing it ourselves. It's your keyboard but more importantly it is your mind.

Profanity is just lazy speech. Substitute a "bad" word for a thought you are too lazy to complete.

Example: I was making toast, just got it buttered when I dropped it on the floor. It landed butter side down on a dust bunny (Hobbes, you ok?). Now I could think "Too bad, five second rule is out. Gonna have to make more toast." or I could not even think and just say F***.

I don't have much concern for the youths who view our posts so far as any exposure to profanity. If they can get here they can get anywhere, certainly more explicit than here.

I suggest everyone censor themselves not for the good of others but for their own good. Give their mind a little more exercise.

or maybe I just don't give a , but perhaps I'll be offered a few in this thread.

OMC-

You are the voice of reason.

We do occasionally have these trends crop up, but cussing (which, ironically, I just did, in World News ), like any other "show-off" move; once the practicioner sees he/she is a chorus of one, they either give the language a pass or go somewhere else, either of which is fine with me.

We should note this behavior for future reference, however; leadership by example is a powerful thing-it WORKS!

I don&#39;t judge about anyone as people are just human.

I personally try to be opened firstly in a way that doesn&#39;t hurt too much, only if this
is not possible or difficult I try to be opened (directly).

Ofcourse its a known fact that people are humans, you really dont have to bring that in every post. But the point where humans start acting like animals thats what we are talking about. [/b][/quote]
Life also has negativ parts. Ok, well..

Profanity is just a way to emphasize the person&#39;s emotions... and as fo rthe kids viewing this.. i suggest people take a walk around a school for a day and listen to the language you here in the hallways and you&#39;ll find it&#39;s alot worse than anything used on here
