Topic: This site needs a censor.

Sean is right (when isn`t he? ). My view is that they shouldn`t be swearing, but a censor just covers it up. Right now, most of us, if we swear, we cover it up with something. Be it an asterisk (*) or this thingy-mabob: @, we usually cover it up. But we had to have had a reason to use that word in the first place, everyone get upset, everyone swears, just in their own way. I don`t get this taboo we have on certain words, you swear to make a point and all intensive purposes, "fudge" is a swear word when used as one. Some people replace "bull****" with "bull", but it is still swearing. You`re not eliminating it, you`re just covering it up and suddenly it is ok to say these words in a context in which similar words, it is not. The words began being bad words, not swear words, but then people started swearing with them, so then it isn`t right to swear. But if it isn`t right to swear, why can we use "fudge"? Or "flossewaffle"? So, in truth, it must be the meaning of the word that we have a problem with. Which, at least to me, is kind of interesting. It`s not swearing that is the problem, but the meaning of the "swear".
So, for someone who doesn`t know the meaning of the word, why is it bad for them to hear it? I can`t think of any definite explanation, but it is interesting to think about. To me anyway.

Ok, how about this: Do you want people swearing, but cover it up somehow, or do you want it minimized/eliminated? I think that is kind of a central question to all of this.
Oh, and sorry about the overly long analysis.

@'Chu: perhaps in one sense of the [insert-word-here], maybe

FFS people this aint no frakkin joke, this is some serious 5h1t!

Go yourselfs! Then your with a before I with a then the !

I say we censor the ":3" thing. It wasn't too bad whenever people started using it, but now it's just getting tiresome. Hopefully a new fad'll come along and the :3 will be forgotten. _{Like that'll happen.}

"Go scream yourselves! Then scream your happiness with a halo before I scream with a frown then smile the frown!"?
Is that what you said, mal?

What the DDDD:!?!?

exactly
_{also, :3}

I find myself in complete agreement with the ninety-first man of cheetahs.

Perfect example for what I hate about censors, we get incoherent babble on the level of a 7 year-old who just discovered the swear words.

I find it easy not to swear.

There's a 'your mom' joke in here that I'm not allowed to say. :3

Anyways, if any of y'all have a problem with cursing, you can go and :3 yourselves for all I care.

_{just kidding, seriously, but really, it's not that bad around here, jeez}
