D_a_m_n should not be censored

[HarryCaray]

Whats funny, ass and b*tch are now usable on TV. I hear them on almost every station. Yet, I watched The Matrix last night, and they censored out the word "finger" when Neo says "I'm going to give you the finger" and flicks off one of the sentinels.

Crazy.

And VH1 censors the word "muffin" in Lady Gaga's song Poker Face.

Crazy.

I remember when the radio used to censor out the word "hit" from the beginning of the song "I Hate Everything About You" by Three Days Grace.

Crazy.

Matrix was on! I need to watch that I still haven't instead I watched star wars because I though nothing else was on and I was at my cousin's.

Radio One changed "I'm lying in the wet patch in the middle of the bed, I'm feeling pretty damn hard done by, I spent ages giving head" in the new Lily Allen song to...

"I'm lying in the *bongo sound* in the middle of the bed, I'm feeling pretty damn hard done by *violin solo*"

...yet on the most popular comedy shows in Britain, they're saying "piss off" or "bollocks" or "fucking hell!" ect. Music is treated different to television, but more than likely, there are more kids watching comedy shows than listening to Lily Allen complain about how crap her boyfriend is at sex.


_{edit: hey! british swears don't appear to be censored.}

Play the censorship game!

Fight the censors in the funny game.

censoring damn is rediculous, and it shows how sheltered and fragile ghost is. i dont think there should be any sensorship, we should be able to express ourselves freely, theres hardly any swearing on these forums anyway, its like how there can be a few swears in a movie and it still be rated PG, but if swearing is out of control it gets a PG 13. we should all man-up a little, i mean whats next, we have to get our parents consent to register?

I think damn was a word censored by default with the YaBB installation.

Man-up for swearing? Swearing is the language of the immature, the disrespectful, no good people who have no education, the language illiterates. Swearing adds a bad influence on people around them. It causes negativity, this forum should ban all swearing. It's extremely immature for people to ruin their mind/body. Swearing produces a negative stimulation on their mind. When someone expresses negativity harshly with a swear/cuss/curse word they are creating a negative influence. It increases their levels of anger and depression. If someone who never cursed or even never expressed their disappointment when something negative happened, they would remain focused and cheerful. Compared to someone who expresses their anger/disappointment greatly, they would be in that bad mood all day. Remember, bad moods spread; though good moods are also infectious. Keep a light and airy mood, don't use words of negativity(You know what they are, they are defined in the dictionary if you need help) because no one like being around a sour-puss.

Show a bit more class, that was unnecessary. Guys, we can all be a bit more respectful; even a bit more mature. There is no reason we can't at least respond seriously to another person instead of mocking them.

Gandolf you have your opinions and I wasn't mocking you I don't agree with you either though. What's wrong with using words to express emotions?

[Telstar5]

This thread is boring. Eqwanox is about right, there's very little swearing round these parts anyway.

[HarryCaray]

Play my game! lol

There are much more elequent ways to express yourself than resorting to simple barbaric crudities. Though for those who can only express themselves with profanity, go get a dictionary so you can figure out what I just said.

The fact that makes it wrong is that it's morally and socially unacceptable, if that is the only way you can express yourself; than consider what that says about you.

Enough said.

The fact is when talking to people you don't use words like

resorting to simple barbaric crudities

. If you were speaking with a friend would you speak like this. Oh no my fragment of feces Windows broke down again? or My piece of crap Windows broke down again.
