You can have a huge vocabulary and still swear... honestly, saying any one word too much is dumb.

That's the point of broadening your vocabulary, so you can use a different word every time. :P

...the statement that "curse words are bad" can't be taken seriously when so many of them are being allowed?
Well, I only used the word "curse word" because I couldn't find a better one... "especially offensive profanity" is a slightly better term.

And there ARE places that allow more than others, so I'm sure that the statement "ALL curse words are bad so don't use them" applies somewhere. Once again, I'm gonna emphasize the fact that even if I believe that this is the point of bleeping, I personally think it's stupid. Bleeping hasn't shaped my language in any way.

[QUOTE="Blackviperr"]

Seriously..

whats the point ?

even if u censor "**** YOU!!"

you can still make out what the 4 stars stand for..

same thing with placing a BLEEP in audio..

you can still make out what the persons saying..

either toally ban cussing..

or just let it happen..

censorings pointless..

* its better to ban cussing*

Ur opinion?

TheZ3nMan

So, you're saying that it would be better to completely obliterate swear words from all forms of media than to take 10 minutes to bleep it out?

umm yeah.. even if u put a BLEEP in the place of "**** you"... u can still make out what the person is saying.. so it would be better to completely obliterate swear words.. there are lots of other words to express anger hate or shock.. Stop cussin or stop censoring.. censoring is just plain pointless
