WHAT? Why are you quoting my Historum signature? If you want to have a go at me, please have the spine to do so openly,without the snide innuendo.

I never understood the logic behind what makes bad language.
What makes shit unacceptable while excrement is just another word? Its a strange type of bigotry that shows intolerance towards a word as being inherently offensive yet complete indifference to its definition.

The attitude is called 'anal retentive' and is often caused by poor potty training. Cool Shades

For fuck's sake; I couldn't imagine such a fucking existence. Although you held a couple members in esteem, they all seem fucked. Fuck that.

I have no real point here other than trying to make you feel at home among other the non-prudes.

See, I see it just the other way around. I like that the offensiveness of a word is another fundamental property of a word, not merely a result of its semantic definition.

It's like another grammatical category or property, like mood, voice, tense, etc. I think it provides for a richer structure, instead of having fewer properties for words.
