Profanity is the crutch of the inarticulate Mother F*#ker. I would challange people to use their intelligence and find better use of words to express their ideas.

Is profanity cool? In certain situations yes ie: the link above. |

hmmm, family friendly is not quite the same as family oriented, so i don't see any need for a filter... now, if you could filter stupid, that would be great
i'd agree that cuss words are not appropriate in thread titles, and i usually misspell or add asterisks if i post any swear words... which i do from time to time, as they can provide emotional emphasis in a way that ordinary words just don't |

I'm just against the f-bomb in titles. In the content swearing is understood.

Doesn't matter if you're in a "job" or a "career," I agree that profanity has no place in the workplace. But this isn't a workplace. This is a fun forum where friends with similar interests come to hang out in a virtual setting. You said yourself that you swear around your friends when it's appropriate. And for the most part, profanities fly in here when it's appropriate. I think if a filter is put in, people are going to think it's ok to swear more because they can't get in trouble. This is what I see in forums that have an expletive filter: f@#$ S^%# @$%@%^ ^##^ &*(&, etc., etc., nonstop. I think members here have a pretty good handle on their profanity. Almost all members respect each other enough to not use profane language against each other, even when discussions get heated. I'm sorry that you feel the way you do about language taking a downturn, but that's just the way it goes. It's called progression. You can't live in the past where onscreen seemingly happy and loving married couples sleep in separate beds and kids say "Gosh darnit." People just don't talk like that. Also, you're living in Hawaii, the melting pot of the United States. You should be well aware of the differences between individuals and the way they speak. I hate it when people come up to me and speak broken English / Pidgin, but I'm not going to label them as unintelligent high school drop outs without "careers" just because they talk differently from me. Language is not an indicator of intelligence or career choice. I'd say leave it up to a member poll.

The way the "English" language is going it's going to disappear, it's the progression of languages (Please don't tear into me I remember reading something on this many moons ago lol). I agree about swearing makes you sound stupid. However, I believe if you repeat ANY WORD, you sound stupid. Like you know what I, like mean? Like.
I also don't think anybody was trying to get anybody in trouble here. I think it's a discussion on how the forum should proceed. I know there's not many discussions on the ETARDNET anymore, but, they should happen more often. |

Bob didn't name you personally in his post. It was just the most recent example. Other users have done the same thing and it would appear that mods have already edited the title on the thread so as to not offend anyone. Plus, the rules on profanity in the titles of threads aren't explicit, so he might have thought it would be rude to send a pm to someone telling them to change the title of the thread since he isn't a mod.

I'm sure you could come up with several examples to defeat my theories. Yeah, i know i heard president so-ans-so say a cuss word...etc. No one wins at arguing on the internet. I'll just leave it at that. People take things all personal. And it's not even about that. |

And to the guy who said his car got knocked the f-out.
Please. You have not been driving long at all. Bumper damage? Come on dude. In the first year and a half of owning my wrx, i got rear-ended 4 times. 3 times i was either at a red light, or turning right at a yield, and not moving. All those damages looked worse than yours did. I never shared my pics with my car community. I'm not trying to be insensitive to your situation, I'm glad you're alright. Ok, the majority of you seem to favor the vulgarity. So fuckity, fuck fuck. There you go. Happy now? Let's all hold hands and sing kumbayah and shit. :) But that's not me. So back to your regularly scheduled programming. |
