I'll make this as brief as possible because I hate these damn flame wars as much as anybody else around here. But personally I agree with using whatever language suites you. To me, no other word quite matches 'fuck', 'shit', 'asshole', or any other thing you can name. You really can't tell me you can give me a word that matches that, for example: "Richard Nixon is an asshole!". Really doesn't equal: "Dick Nixon is a real Bad Person!". While it suprised me to see this particular use of language on the net, I was pleased to see that the net is a place where we can use any language we feel like. Do you really agree with CENSORSHIP! That's not what MY country, the United States of America was built on! So don't be a FUCKING ASSHOLE and get all bent out of shape. -Jack (My opinions are not those of the University of Miami) -- "Yo, lampin' on Death row." -Chuck D, Public Enemy

A person is judged/known/graded by the words he uses. Please don't represent America, and its freedoms with colorful speech, it would make the rest of the world think we are assholes". If you are emotionally charged by what someone writes, wait an hour, then _mail_ a reply to them if it does not concern everyone else.
