I don't understand the logic behind swearing at all myself, but especially when typed or written.
If you slip up in speech now and then, that's one thing. Hey, I've done it myself ya' know, right in class, while giving a speech!
However, why type it out. Our brains can easily, very easily, register what we have written down. All we need to do is practice a bit of self control. Swearing shows lack of thought in my opinion. You rush through your post just to get it out there, and include all of those vulgar words that add 100% zilch to your subject.

So Roog, what is it you want? You support a swearing rule, but not a ban on swearing as a whole? You're either on one side or the other, or you're contradicting yourslef.
Thats another thing that can be done about the forumsQuote:

Don't say anything about something you have no clue about, Or go at another user with some completely random thing thats not even true or you thought was something different, ask them first before judging wrong :|
I wasn't really trying to challenge your position with that one. I was more into stating a fact.Quote:

Well, so that you all can get my view on it. I control my swearing very well over the internet, but I will do it sometimes because I still got to represent myself as I am.Quote:

But again, I am not against a rule on swearing, just against the banning of it. Seems a little too extreme in my opinion.
Roog, doesn't a rule basically ban something though. I'm a bit confused by that statement. :E
It means I want to be able to say "damn, that's cool" or whatever without being made into a bad person by some forum rule.Quote:

Well try this, Express yourself in a positive way than breaking a rule?
Can you explain to us the point of making a rule if you're just going to break it because of "who you are"?
There are places where it is accepted that swearing just occurs (even though it is not necessarily acceptable to do). This is really not one of those places.
Breaking rules has been the foundation of the progress of society...Quote:

Breaking rules was also one of the reasons for the Fall of Greece :)
So do we want Lea to fall like it did?
If you look in the real world, You can't get away with breaking a law no matter what, You WILL BE CHARGED AND FINED. I can guarantee you you can't robb someone and not be found (Well sometimes you wont but thats LUCKY)
But here on Lea, Its always proved and you can always find out if someone did something. SO basically
Breaking a rule = Punishment
a punishment is from a crime, So a crime is breaking a rule. And you should be punished for breaking a rule/law, No?
Or the dismantlement of civilization, depending on your viewpoints my friend.
Yes, but there are rules that are integral to the progress of society.Quote:

If I suddenly decided that it was okay to kill people because society needed to progress, would I not go to jail? (Assuming that I went out and killed a bunch of people or something)
There are certain rules that can be broken (in some situations) and others that should never be broken (ever). This being a forum based on a G-rated movie, a ban on swearing should be the latter type.
And if a ban is still to harsh, then how about we call it an "Impediment upon Vulgar Language" or something?
Not precisely(sp*)...a rule can be put into effect to control something, to regulate it...without having to get rid of it. I can't think of a good example right now...kinda tired. I guess maybe how a speed limit regulates the top speed someone can go. In a sense it is banning...but not a full banning, as someone can still go a certain speed until they reach a point...in which the rule comes into play to regulate it...Quote:

That's one way to think about it. Another way to think about it is this: A 25 MPH speed limit bans you from going 50 MPH.Quote:

So, by that do you mean certain words should be banned while others remain? Or do you mean swearing should be allowed in specific cases?

WRONG.
If you go 70 + in a 55 MPH zone, You lose your license :) Which is like "banning"
Yes, but who decides those rules? How do we judge what rules are integral to society? And will those views change as society moves along?Quote:

And I agree, Nuka...the breaking of rules will do that, but that does not void the fact that it also does the opposite...
I believe that swearing should be allowed as long as it's not directed at somebody or made to become habitual in someone's posting.Quote:

And about my previous statement on Speed limits...I addressed the issues you both pointed out.
