Oh man, Eric that's twice today you got me laughing. My wife says the SAME EXACT thing. "stupid people use that language cuz they are too stupid to know how to talk". Oh my goodness that one burns me every time she uses it. Then I curse more just to prove that I am stupid, just to tick her off that she married a stupid man. Stupid is as stupid does.
We are all adults here. Seriously. Censorship is not the answer to foul language, nor is playing babysitter the answer. Most of the time the "problem" takes care of itself in the fact that most of us here keep it very clean. It makes me feel like **** when I curse on here, because it does make me feel stupid. But hey thems the breaks, some people just get all worked up over words. They are just words, after all, given power only when one puts weight to them. For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge was how we came up with the "f" word. Look it up. It became a "dirty" word only when people decided that it was dirty. Take away the "power" of the word and no one cares. You can't say "***" today like you could 50 years ago. SEE! The babysitter edited the word g-a-y. see what I mean?
I know how to conduct myself. I just hate it when we lose more and more freedom because others don't. Isn't that when we come full circle back into slavery to ourselves and our government? We were given freedom to do as we please, then people use that freedom, then said freedom is taken away in the name of equality or safety. What an oxymoron to boot. "freedom to do as we say, not as you do". Jon the constitution grants me the right to do as I please on this forum, so yes, I do think this has to do with just that. We could go into the legality of it, but I cannot be arrested for saying the F word on this forum. Banned or deleted? Sure. I'd love to see the supreme court rule on that one too. Not worth it. But that day is coming my friend. Obama shut down DOZENS of blogging sites because they were anti obama. It's not a joke, it's for real. Where does it go from there? Soon you can't be a Christian, or pray in public, or speak your mind in public, where does it end? I take my rights very seriously.
No doubt that nutech probably lost some credit for using the f word, but I see he is trying to regain that lost ground. Like I said, the issue would have taken care of itself. I'm done with this, sorry for making it a big issue, just having withdrawals from arguing with Jon on the board I guess! lol
The rules of the board make it clear that we cannot curse. Can we just leave it at that? We can self police, PLEASE turn that freakin thing off.
