GeddysMullet Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Just uncensor it The way I see it, it isn't a matter of censorship, but just...decorum. I don't see the need for its use on TRF. What does vulgarity/profanity bring to the table, so to speak, when (as it has already been pointed out) there are so many other ways that things can be stated? Society over multiple generations has given certain words meaning, finding them OK to say or not Ok to say. It's never been about the word per se, but what it represents - the energy or meaning behind the word - and not just the word f**k, or god dammit, but c***, or gay, lesbian, n*****, slave, cracker, f***** all to me are vulgar &/or profane. It's all in how you've chosent to believe what words trigger an offensive response in you, based on how you were raised and the thoughts you've had that formed your beliefs. that's all it f***ing is, man. In one context, i can call a girl who is a close friend a bitch, and then some girl i don't even know call her a bitch in a totally different way. it was the energy behind the word i chose to use that gave it a playful, (almost) heartfelt meaning, or a not so nice hurtful meaning. it has nothing to do with the letters strewn together to form a word but all in how it's used... The masses in todays society have collectively formed the belief that the word f**k is bad... very bad.... which recently a friend of mine shared with me how the word f**k got it's name... or where it was derived from. it's an acronym that one day offended some people, probably because they weren't gettin' any, and it blew up from there... The word comes from signs hung on English brothels. True meaning is an acronym for, Fornication Under Consent of the King. Just so ya' know. now i'm all for supporting whatever the board decides. but putting the filter doesn't stop those who want to find creative ways to post the word, and it doesn't stop images with that word appearing it sure as f**k isn't stopping me from using it. so it's a filtered word. Ok. That's a myth. http://www.snopes.com/language/acronyms/f**k.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fraroc Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 (edited) I'm not offended by swearing, but I also don't want to say it/hear it/read it in every sentence, mostly because that is really boring. We've all heard those people whose every other word is "f**k" and listening to them is as about as interesting as someone whose every other word is "like." I often walk away from my niece as she's speaking, because every other word out of her mouth is either "like" or "basically". It pisses her off when I walk away, but TOO BAD. Speak decent English, my dear, and then maybe I'll listen to you! Why the hell would you do that?! She's your f***ing FAMILY. You shouldn't give a f**k how she speaks.

I believe there is some back story involved here that you may not be aware of. PM has done a lot of wonderful things for this niece of his. I'm sure his walking away isn't nearly as 'rude' as it may seem. Lots of people need to take a little more pride in what they say. It's not a crime to want that for a family member.

Growing up back in the day I walked away from my mother countless times. I don't feel bad at all. Most of the time she was wrong and she knew it but was too damn stubborn to admit it. I love her but you can only put up with so much sh**! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may do things that annoy my family, especially my mother, but no matter what happens, she is ALWAYS there for me. Turn down your self-righteous knob for a minute, and understand this: In casual conversation, after hearing my niece spew "like" repeatedly and unendingly, yes, I DO walk away from her. I even come right out and tell her to STOP saying "like" all the time. She's in graduate school, and she still speaks as if she is still in middle school. NOT GOOD. As her long-time surrogate father and academic tutor, I will ALWAYS try to get her to speak like an educated, sophisticated adult, and not some profanity and slang-spewing child....which you seem to prefer being. If YOU were to take more time refining your speaking and conversational skills, then perhaps you won't have so many "malfunctions". Perhaps you won't piss people off so much and be called a troll..... Have a nice day. :) :) Edited July 17, 2015 by Principled Man 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 I agree with Maybe members could be go to their user settings and choose whether or not to censor words. Is that a possibility? By default, everything is censored but a user can disable it for themselves if they want to? That option does not exist on this board, but it's a pretty good idea. I think this was a very good idea. I find it annoying as well that words gets censored. It´s just stupid... but right now I am writing Fuuck every time instead of f**kYou, of all people, should be happy about this censorship. :D Why?What is with Sweden and humor? It must be akin to Americans and historical perspective...or the British and oral prophylaxis.

Lorraine Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 I don't think that anyone is trying to censor anyone. The point is that it isn't necessary and adds nothing to a conversation, or to a person. Speaking only for myself, I find it undignified. We hear a lot about the "dignity of the human being" today, but I don't see much of it. Anyway, like I said, I can't nor am I trying to stop anyone from using crude terminology. Whether it is censored here or not doesn't bother me. It's not my place, and it's not my "dime" that's running it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LyndseyG Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 English is a fine language, and I'm quite pleased I have learned to speak it rather well. Still, there is one aspect that could be bettered there - the cursing. Your swear words are lame compared to ours. In Finnish we have PERKELE. When a Finn bangs his fist to the table and shouts PERKELE, everyone, no matter what language they speak, understand that it is a curse word. So do whatever you wish with your mild 4-letter words, I will always have PERKELE up my sleeve. (Perkele = Satan, The Devil, The Apocalyptic Beast) I know of this as i listen to sonata arctica and stratovarius and watch band interviews :D Love the way the word is pronounced - per-kah-lay Thanks! I was wondering how it's pronounced! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
