Teller Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 if he is a conservative, the answer is yes Which of course, is easier than the challenge of defending the liberal mindset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

headexplode Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 To be honest, I'd prefer they not filter any words, at least in the Tailgate (though admittedly, for comedic purposes, the filters can be helpful). I think borinblood has a valid point, in as much as it seems fairly arbitrary what words society deems acceptable or unacceptable. Who decides these things? And to what end? Still, I would never advocate the filtering or "bleeping" of words because some may find them offensive. On the other hand, shouldn't there be a level of respect for the feelings and beliefs of others? Then the question becomes, where do we draw the line?

Mark The Homer Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 To be honest, I'd prefer they not filter any words, at least in the Tailgate Since this is a family forum, and younger family members are using the forums, you need filters.

rincewind Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 My bible tell me not to use his name in vain im just curious as to why ****(poop) is bad but goddamnit is ok especially with youngsters around Because its not a Goddamn swear word - especially if you're not Christian. Plus, if I have an actual reason for using Goddamn (say I want your deity to be damned) then it's not really in vain, now is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borninblood Posted December 4, 2007 Author Share Posted December 4, 2007 i understand what you mean about not being offensive to non Christians, but it is a swear word. Say it in front of a bunch of kindergardners and see how many bad looks you get actually yeah it is.. to use it in vain is to use it without the respect due from creature to creator 4. without real significance, value, or importance; baseless or worthless: vain pageantry; vain display. b. in an improper or irreverent manner: to take God's name in vain. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/vain i cant believe i bit on the religious debate, i just think if you are gonna filter **** you should filter goddamnit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really need to learn about perspective. I never think any of my words are used in vain. And, I don't really consider this a religious debate. More of a semantics/censourship debate. You want to censor people, and I say **** that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toe Jam Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Here is my take on it. Personally, it's not offensive to me. However, I think that if you're going to filter some words you might want to filter others that could be considered a cuss word. I doubt there are any kids or really young teens on this board, but if there are, I would hate to be responsible for them using it because they think it's okay and then mom knocking some teeth out. Of course they should use better judgement and know better. But some don't. Either way, I don't have a problem with it personally. Just putting it out there.
