Attitudes on censoring...

[bhallg2k]

Fuck, f*ck, f__k and so on are the same thing to me. The meaning of the word is conveyed by either going for the gold and spelling it all out, or using universally recognized symbols to replace strategic letters in the word. Either way, everyone knows what you're saying whether or not you're actually saying it.

I've noticed some here who are letter replacers, for lack of a better term, and others who just spell it out, like me. This is a question more for those who don't spell it out.

I'm just wondering what the difference is in your mind between fuck and f*ck, when it's the still obvious meaning of the word that is considered offensive and not the word itself. I mean, if you can type f*ck, why not fuck?

Any thoughts? I'm not trying to patronize anyone with this. I'm just curious.

yeah dont you love now how they blurr out the mouth when someone is cussing or flipping a bird. I find that humorous.

Howdy bhall,

Well..over at Marihemp,Ron asks us to refrain from the use of profanity..I don't see such a disclaimer here,for posters..but I'm acting like Ron would want us to..which is to not use profanity if possible. Also,I don't want to repeat anyone's cusswords,they can reap the negative karma from that..I don't want any part of it. Adults don't need to use profanity,in order to git their points across..but I can understand,if that is a natural part of someone's thinking,and they express themselves that way,as a natural response.

I was raised not to cuss unless I really meant it,and to be respectable of a ladie's presence..I wouldn't talk to my mother that way-or other ladies..I guess that I'm just old-fashioned..seems being rude..is politically-correct these days.

Have a good one....

Just to clarify, I wasnt speaking to my mother when it happen nor was I speaking to a female. I was washing dishes with my mom and i dropped a plate on my foot and it busted up...

No cuts but it hurt like a son of a bitch and thats what was said. My mother really wasnt ever one for rational actions.
