Proof?

Proof?
Will anyone please show me why we are trying to censor certain kinds of language?

I feel really stupid for asking this, but I don't really understand why.

RE: Proof?
How is this a topic to do with mathematics? Do you want me to move it to Philosophy?

RE: Proof?
Because some people believe that they know what's best for other peoples eyes and ears. Does there have to be any more to it?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Because some people are offended by hearing derogatory comments directed at them, and they believe there to be some mystic right that they aren't allowed to be offended.

I say they need to get over it, nudity (ffs), and nationcide of enemies... but then they'd probably censor two of those words and the acronym like the pansies they are Heart
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

Huh?

This topic has everything to do with mathematics. So far, no one has given me a mathematically provable reason why there should be a list of "bad" words and that we shouldn't use them to attack people with them at all(except R'lyeh where we can only do some of it).

That is because that makes no fucking sense. Big Grin Sensibilities have naught to do with mathematics. I should know, I lack the former and suck at the latter.

It's got NOTHING to do with math. You cannot prove which language should and should not be deemed as acceptable by a community in regards to "attacking" other members, it's all a matter of what the staff and community feel constitutes the best environment for our purposes.

Duh! Emotions are the root of all of our problems.
