I think we need to watch the language around here
Edited on Thu Dec-11-03 08:57 AM by underpants
NO offense I like cursin' as much as the next mofo but I am reading a lot of stuff that is cussin' for the sake of cussin'(like that).

Seriously folks this is supposed to be a family friendly place where yeah laughs and guffaws go on but it can be done without expletives.

I'm just saying.

ONEDIT-where and (like that)

5. All over the place
This isn't meant to be directed at any one poster or even identify examples. I just am seeing a lot of cussin' (this is particular to the lounge for this thread) and it's not needed. In my humble opinion.

13. Well, I'll Try To Watch My Wicked Fingers...
I'll try to watch my wicked fingers, but I can't say that I'm going to stay on the straight and narrow way all the time.

I joined DU about the time I shook the dust of the big "Nut Chase" ISP from my sandals, where I learned the hard way that liberals, progressives, and moderates had to write like they were players in a Shirley Temple movie while Republicans and self-professed "conservatives" could comfortably stoop to any level of obscenity, blasphemy, or calumny without the board monitors doing so much as lifting a finger.

I have since learned that I find expressing my sentiments without resorting to the usual four-lettered Anglo-Saxon words is an interesting challenge, and can usually be done with a little bit of whit and imagination.

18. Sorry, I disagree
There are times when I need to curse. In a medium like writing, it can be hard to communicate emotions in a post, and sometimes swearing is necessary to express that emotion.

And this should come as no surprise -- but teenagers swear like sailors. I don't think they'd read anything here that they haven't said themselves.

I think swearing for the sake of swearing, or for the shock value, is not necessary. I just need to use it as a literary device from time to time.
