I always thought that Bing could have been so much more popular if they called it Bang instead.
Example: "Is Megan Fox single?" "Let me Bang her and find out!" Or for the ladies: "Is Sean Connery still alive?" "Let me Bang him and find out!" |

You know what, I have a relative who's been in Journalism all his life. Worked for the NY times, and the LA times. He sarted at the bottom run working with the printing presses, worked his way up to reporter, and he's been a senior editor at the LA times for awhile now. He explained something to me a long time ago as profanity goes. It conveys a certain level of emotion, and gives more impact to the point your trying to put across; where as other more nicer words, fail to achieve the same level of emotion, or impact. The use of profanity is more forceful, the words are more powerful, and their use doesn't necessarily indicate lack of intelligence.

Well profanity is used so much now it has the opposite effect on me. I don't want to read about it or tune in to what is being said.

I read it, but dismissed it. You always cite rules, but you jump on the anti-profanity train so often, with such zeal, that i have a hard time thinking that it is for any reason other then that profanity offends your moral sensibilities.

The use of profanity is not a clear indicator of lack of intelligence.
Just lack of vocabulary. ![]()

I disagree with that passionately Wolferz.
Use of profanity has its place and is part of the vocabulary for a reason, but this isn't that place, even though I have fallen foul of that rule at times. |

Then you don't know or understand me at all. These days my moral sensibilities are minimal if not nil. I'm more of a rules-nazi than anything else.

As an example, for most of us, lying is against the rules in life. Yet children are lied to all the time in the form of the Easter bunny, Tooth Fairy, and Santa Clause. Or another example, say the posted speed limit is 65 MPH, but the flow of traffic is 75 MPH, ill wager you'll be going with the flow of traffic, or at a minimum, doing 5 over. Furthermore, more often then not, someone doing the speed limit, or even 5 under, becomes a safety hazard to the flow of traffic. Don't tell me you have NEVER crossed the street outside boundaries of a crosswalk. What I'm saying is that 100% strict adherence to the letter of rules and laws is unrealistic, and unattainable. We all bend or break them a little bit, even the most high moral and law abiding amongst us in society. |

Of course you're entitled to think whatever you want. I've said my piece, and don't think I need to explain further since you won't believe me anyway.

So no, it's not about the language. I just don't like seeing the rules being ignored. Sure I'm over-zealous sometimes. I admit it. That said, if the rule were to change tomorrow I'd roll with it.
