Just because most of us are happy with those words, it doesn't mean that everyone is, and we must remember that there are many youngsters who use the forum. Whether the youngsters already use such words or not, should we mods/responsible adults be encouraging them?

If they are not "bad words" then why refer to them as "such words"? Why single them out and say they should not be spoken in the presence of kids? Why would it matter if we "encouraged" the use of these words if they were not "bad"?

Are you going to tell me that these words are not "bad" persay but might "offend" someone so we shouldn't use them? If so then we should start banning any and every word that could possibly offend someone, I'll start the list with "yank/yanky". Everyone else should now contribute, maybe then Wolf will see just how foolish this notion of political correctness is



For the record, I absolutely despise anything "PC"

I cannot stand the notion of tiptoeing because someone MIGHT get their feelings hurt, if someone hates you and insults you then either IGNORE THEM or insult them back! New concept difficult to understand I know, but you're going to have to because not everyone is going to love you and there will even be those that hate if for nothing other then your skin color, you're just going to have to get over it and move on with your life! If someone steps on your toes either push em out of the way punch them or stop and bend over for them, whining is not an option.

However, as to the other word, if my son started saying that around the house, and I found out it was because he'd thought it was perfectly acceptable because people were using it on a forum, I'd be annoyed.

If you can't teach your kids right and wrong and have to rely on some forum to do it for you, then you have no right to complain anyway. Last I checked this forum wasn't setup to be a babysitter much less to raise children.

If I were like you, and my child started cussin' like a sailor, then the kid would get a beatin', don't be afraid to backhand your child for cussin' they need to know who the boss is

I wouldn't do this though, I cuss and it would be hypocritical for me to punish my child for the same damn thing I do. Which is BAD parenting

Wolf359 wrote:Just because these words are accepted and used by a majority of adults and youths, it does not mean that they should be allowed/used/encouraged in a public forum. Personally, as an adult of 33, I don't really want to be reading forums littered with profanity, no matter how mild - and it does nothing except to demonstrate the lack of vocabulary of the poster and in turn, makes them look quite pathetic.

It's not the cuss words I want removed, I want words like Hi tler removed

Tell me again why the name Hit ler is even on the list, I'm pretty sure you were around when it was added and no the reason

Wolf359 wrote:Frankly, your post is way too pedantic and hard line. I agree that perhaps not all of the words are 'bad' - but others should remain on the list.

I was taught never to comprise, same goes for my nit picking, it's a byproduct of my raising + schooling

But that's a good thing, and you're only pointing it out as a justification to the things I've pointed out, you're basically saying that it doesn't matter cause it's a small detail, well would you pay top dollar for a Ferrari with a dent? It's only a "small" detail

Wolf359 wrote:I dislike a lot of PC too - I live in the UK - which has gone PC mad, and where national holidays, traditions and even festive seasons are under threat just in case they 'upset' those who come from a different ethnic/religious background. But, I don't really think this is a PC issue, and to make it such is wrong - it is more an issue of acting responsibly in an environment that includes youngsters.

Really? Couldn't tell
