So now you tell us it should be allowed
But before you should say it should be punishable, and not banned for it
So we should punish those anyways that do it not directly at someone, and ban those who do it at someone?

You have to look at it like this. This is a soceity open to young children because it is based on a movie that was originally intended for young children. Young children should not be exposed to vulgar language (at all). Thus, that rule is integral to this soceity.Quote:

Edit: And how can we figure out whether language is directed at us or not? Anybody can lie.
BReaking rules in some turns is a good thing, in others it's bad. Rules are made to be followed and to keep order, and to pass restrictions.
Some rules are good (No killing), some are bad (racial and sexual segregation).
We learn with the punches my friend. However I do not see how swearing could improve the forum at all. That's a pathetic argument yes, as you could just as easily say that you do not see how it could bring it down.
When it comes down to it though, society in a whole has decided (unless you live under a dictator that is). So perhaps a vote would resolve this issue for us?
I have an Idea Lion Roog, Not to be mean but here try this..
Stop thinking about what you will have to do after these rules are made, or how you will have to act like once the rules are made (If they are)
Try thinking about the other users here in lea and not yourself all the time?
I'm with Nuka; I think the only way to resolve this, to be fair to the most members possible, a vote is in order.
I don't understand what you want from me...the wording is kinda confusing me.Quote:

Then, at what age should they be exposed to vulgar language? Or would that be up to discussion? And to what severity should they first be exposed to? I guess my point is that the use of vulgar language when it comes to a situation like this comes down to points of view...Quote:

You don't understand Roog, it's NOT about age! I could be 100 and I wouldn't want it in this forum!!

In a Utopia, nobody would ever be exposed to any sort of vulgarity.
Since we can't do that, it'd be nice at least if the kids weren't exposed to it here of all places. You like this forum? Is a little kid going to like this forum if there's swearing going on? And what if a kid's parents see something, by chance? Isn't it going to cause trouble.
Well, here's another thing to think about. Could you consider something like "Well, then she called me a b****" on the same level as "you're a b****"...Both are still swearing.Quote:

And a vote sounds good, but there should be more than two choices...it's not black and white
Man, if I didn't care about Lea, then I wouldn't care enough to discuss this with y'all here.Quote:

THen why Roog, Do you not get the point of "No swearing at all" ? and WHY Would you want people to swear in a "TLK zone" I mean dang, The movie never sweared so why should the forums ABOUT the movie allow swaering? :|
Oh, I know and respect that, but I was addressing the issue on swearing and age...so I made my arguement to take age into consideration...Quote:

It's black and white to a little kid. To them it doesn't matter how you say it. It just has to be there and that kid will absorb it. Even if it's just periodic. And if you really look at things, Roog, you are thinking only of yourself. You have to think of the only reason you've given us that swearing should remain: it was for you, so that you can act like yourself.Quote:

Mufasa doesn't mind if you use a bit of cussing as long as it doesn't purposely offend anyone and more importantly it should be used in good moral judgement.
I myself try and not use it too often only as a bit of outlandish humor perhaps. But I have the decency to at least **** it.

Because I don't live in the Lion King...I live in a world a lot uglier. So all I want is to not be made into some bad guy by some rule when a little of the real me shows up in an online forum. It's not like I do it all the time...but sometimes it's the best way for me to express myself.Quote:

Then maybe, for the benefit of the forum, we need to come up with new ways to express yourself.
This isn't your world alone and it probably never will be.Quote:

Sometimes you have to be a little selfish...but I think when I take a stand against something I don't believe in, I am doing it for more than just me. I am doing it for anyone who shares my view.Quote:

Okay I just realized something after slapping myself (Literally)
1) Why am I arguing and trying to get something out of Roog
2) Roog is entitled to his Opinion and we shouldn't force him to change it
3) If Roog wants to express himself, Let him. "He got what was coming to him" Is what you can say if something happens
So I think I'm done with this post for a while.

Maybe so, but not until I see that I am damaging the forum in any way.Quote:
