( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

When I was young, I did not go around yelling out the names of fruit. This is because yelling out "BANANA!", did not really get me a lot of attention. Though saying some of the other words, that are considered "bad", got me a whole lot of attention. I didnt even have to know what any of them meant!

A word is a collection of syllables that are used by someone to try and communicate an idea and or feeling to another being. Thats it!

Choosing what words or phrases someone is allowed to use to express themselves is Censorship! Just because someone decides that a certain word or phrase, is for some odd reason offensive to them, gives them no right to decide how I should be able to express myself.

Can anyone even give me a reason that ANY of the so called "offensive words", are actually offensive? Why is one word more offensive than any other word, that describes the same thing?

These words are offensive to certain types of people because those types of people CHOOSE to be offended by them. I think this says volumes about this type of person.

I will reserve the rest of my thoughts about these types of people for another time.

Sincerely,
Just another raving lunatic in the asylum.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
