Swearing.

I have been reading this with some interest and so far kept out of this thorny subject. I would just like to ask one question. Do you really need to swear to get a point across?

How many of you like you wife/kids listening to the filth that gets said over some of the UHF radio channels at times by some people?

I am not a prude and sometimes do swear but if the rules of participation say that the condition of entry to this forum is no swearing, then what is the problem with abiding by the rules?

Well, what can I say to that, you got me on that one (rarity for me):( I was actually expecting a barage of abuse from you when I come to check this thread.

.....although you have a crack at me, expect a response in return. I don't take crap from ANYONE how small the offense. I am abrasive, arrogant, opinionated and I'm not going to apoligise for it, if people don't like that than too bad because I don't out of my way to impress people :mad::mad::mad: What you see is what you get with me and judging a bloke over a forum is poor form regardless.

Back on topic, I'm refering to not so offensive words like 'bloody', 'bastard' or 'knackers' for example, not the charming four letter C word or the one that starts with F. I use them in posts but only because I know they're censored and if not I use a bit more descretion if needed. I don't cheat around the 'filters' to get my swearing across, I don't have an issue with that, plus helps me get the point across at times. I'm no uni educated academic but I'm not an idiot :mad::mad::mad:

I think the censorship we have here is fine, I can't see an issue and if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Plus why do I want to grow up? Life is too short anyway.

Have a good one :)

He he, thought I would jump back into this one for a momento :D. I guess the main issue for me was that it never was or has been a condition....up until this post and that I pointed out, that it wasn't a condition :angel:. Therefore, overall the swearing has always been negligble in my experience over 18+mths and most people self monitored bar the odd occasion. All of a sudden cause a fella after a few to many, lets rip with a few words and plenty of **** ( kudo's to you for acknowledding that too mate) and we are told no swearing at all i.e a blanket policy response. In other words, best to my knowledge it has never really been an issue with the majority of broad minded adults, and all of a sudden it was an issue,

Aqua i agree.

people swear, your choice to repeat. It goes on every day.

You watch people on tv shooting others, your choice to repeat. it goes on every day.

i know which im concerned about.



perhaps this could all be solved in court ehh?

This sounds like an argument yankees would have.

F me , im outta here.


PS, the filter is there for a reason. stop moaning.

I watch and go to the footy & take my family to the beach. (unless I can leave the leader of the opposition at home:whistling:).
I don't think of boganism as the wearing of shirts of different styles or fabric. Boganism is an attitude/way of life IMHO.
My ref. to Cron. Beach has to do with the riots and the displays put on there.

I seem to reacall that there was a no swearing policy inplace in 2006 and I thought well before that. Although the exact dates I cannot remember. PM Incsor he will be able to tell you when the rules came in, but I was under the impression that it was always there. I may be wrong though

The other thing, is it really necessary?
