I just want to see what words we are able to type so I'm going to type a bunch of cuss words as a test.

Mother **CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED**er: M*ther Fu<ker
Son Of A Bitch: s@n Of A B!tch
Asshole: @sshole
Cock Sucker: C*ck Su<ker
**CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED**: D@mn
**CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED**: p*ssy.

This was only a test!
 
So It's o.k. to type COCK SUCKER, but I cant type D@mn.


JUST CHECKING!
 
censors

It does seem pretty backwards. Every newspaper in the country will print D.A.M.N., but I know of none that will print cock sucker. Even the FCC allows D.A.M.N. to be said live, without time delay or bleeping it out. What's wrong with this picture? Moderators?

What bothers me is that the software automatically screens out certain words, yet people are allowed to doctor them with similar characters or spaces, or what-not to communicate the same words. It seems to me that such use of language only belittles the speaker in the eyes of others, emphasizing the smallness of his useful vocabulary.

I think we'd all do better to stick to language that we wouldn't mind using anywhere, with anybody. (Think mother, child, girlfriend's mother, preacher/pastor/priest/rabbi/etc.) Anything less just looks plain unprofessional. If you wouldn't put it on your resume or cover letter, do you really have to use it here?

I totally agree with your comment. There is a certain "poverty" of speach presented with vulgarity for the sake of vulgarity. However, the word "D@mn" is in fact, a legitimate word of emphasis used by nearly everyone on mainstreet today. I would, and do, use that word in the presence of my mother, friends in the clergy, and any others when appropriate, and they also do. That said, I can think of no legitimate use of the C.S. word; it does portray a poverty of language, culture, and civility.

Interesting, but does not address the flightinfo.com censorship pass-fail question. One can find porn in Penthouse, movies, internet, etc, but that is not the issue the thread starter asked. Why are some words that are far more vulgar than d@mn permited, but d@mn is taboo?

Bullsh!t.

I find a greater "poverty of speach" (sic) in people's inability or unwillingness to use the language correctly. For example, spelling speech with an "a."

Just as you believe there is no legitimate use for "cocksucker," there are those who believe there is no legitimate use for "d@mn," regardless of your fondness for it.

I'll also go as far as to say that telling someone that their mother is a three dollar prostitute and their birth was the result of an occupational hazzard is just as vulgar as saying, "F#ck you."

There are plenty of assholes out there who don't use vulgarities. I'd rather be around the good guy who occasionally says, "cocksucker".

Maybe that's just me.
 
I bet you scratch graffiti on the toilet stall walls in public rest rooms for amusement, if this is the way you make the day for yourself.

No. I'm not much into vandalism.

But I do read it!
 
Hey EO

i Apolagize fer the speling mistacke. I suphose we cannot al be perfict spellors lik u.

I'm glade u use the spelchecr toole on yur cumpuptr. Min is brooken.
 
No apology necessary.

I'm not a perfect speller, nor do I use a spellchecker. When I'm not sure how to spell something, I go to www.dictionary.com and look it up. I figure I'll better my spelling and I won't look ignorant when it comes to using my native language.

It just seems ironic that you put down those who show such a dearth of proper language skills by using profanity, yet you don't seem to care enough to improve your own english. Something about casting stones...

Again, maybe it's just me.
 
The reason I did the test is because I posted a response about racecar drivers and said one was a d@mn good driver and the word D@mn was censored. This got me thinking, I wondered if I said the driver who I disliked the most was a cocksucker would I have been censored.



Then I said **CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED**-it
 
EO

Just pulling your chain here. I take no offense.

BTW, you spelled English with a lower case "e"
 
EO

"oops" for me also on my "speach"
 
.....

Just as an aside (and to try to return the thread to its original intent), the use of vulgarities or profanity without a point, adds nothing to a conversation (IMHO). I know many people with extremely poor spelling and grammatical skill, but they find no need to be offensive, just to be offensive. One shortcoming does not necessarily mandate the other. I do make it a point to try not to use crude expletives in speaking or in writing. I occasionally fail in that effort and it usually would be in a case of rage or anger where a vulgar term will come out. I am no prude. I also have the capability to spell a word wrong, hit a typo, or to use a word in the wrong tense or context; I was not an English major. You must know from my screen name of “jarhead’, that I spent time in the USMC. To suggest that I do not know the vulgarities, or am in anyway personally offended by such terms, speaks to a naiveté of any of the readers here. Rent the flick “Full Metal Jacket” and that IS the speech I was embroiled in for several years. I “talked the talk” back then as well.

That said, I still maintain that vulgarity for the sake of vulgarity adds nothing to the conversation. My thesis is that this web board and its censorship seem to be backwards, and a bit inconsistent. That’s all.

Why not vent over censorship? People are getting fired and sued for using words that are in the dictionary that don't mean anything but what the dictionary says they mean. Someday the word bigger, rigger, digger, and figure, if spoken at work or while serving as a public official, will mean lawsuits and the loss of a job. Meanwhile, words like stacker, hacker, blacker, tacker, jacker (or anyother word that rhymes with cracker), will be left in the vernacular.

It's not fair and it shows a niggardly approach to the issues concerning fair and equal treatment between races in the workplace and in public life.

We're not talking about typographical errors here. We're talking about the selection of words. Apparently, many of us have a smaller selection from which to choose.
 
Avoid Foul Language!

It has been brought to management's attention that some individuals throughout the company have been using foul language during the course of normal conversation with other employees. Due to complaints received from some employees who are more easily offended, this type of language will no longer be tolerated.

None of less we do realize the critical importance of individuals being able to properly express their feelings when communicating with fellow employees. Therefore, a list of code phrase replacements has been compiled so proper exchange of ideas and information can continue in an effective manner without risk of offending our more sensitive co-workers.

That's true. Profanity is the crutch of inarticulate fukkers. :D
