[net.micro] Naughty words and Leading Titles

ech@spuxll.UUCP (Ned Horvath) (06/09/84)

Get serious, folks, remember the English to Russian and back translator:
"the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak" wound up as "good vodka,
rotten meat."  Natural language research has improved somewhat, but
watcha gunna due about Rot 13? Ore inn 10 shun all misspellings or
phonetics?  A little parlor game: how many of George Carlin's 7 forbidden
words can YOU work into a paragraph without actually using them?

On an entirely different idiot pronouncement, I love the attitude that what is
"underground" is by definition illicit.  Fine.  If I ever feel the urge
to set up a Jolly Roger BBS I will simply call it "Creation Science" or
"Inspirational Thoughts" or "Motherhood and Apple Pie."  Then we can
discuss anything from child molestation to the overthrow of the government
and be guiltless by reason of title.  Maybe you had better join the Moral
Majority -- it MUST be what it SAYS it is...
