This whole "censorship of everything radical, or even appearing radical" crap is so annoying. These incidents occur mostly with a leftist tint, but please don't lump the rest of us liberals in with these twits. If we try to eliminate all of the 'naughty words' from our society, not only do we end up with a bland, boring world that's measured in shades of beige and off-whites, we make our children socially moronic.

Do you know what happens to a child who isn't allowed to play outside, go to school, and eat dirt? He grows up with no immune system, and spend his adult life sick all the damned time. You try to protect your children too much, and they end up unable to deal with the real world.

Let's face it, your children are going to learn what all the bad words out there mean anyway, wouldn't you rather them have a healthy understanding of their connotations and (far more importantly) not have some sort of psychological issue? I've known far too many people who were overly sheltered as kids, and they always seem to be a little ridiculous.

Also, tw... what the hell are you TALKING about? I can follow each of your posts for one paragraph and then... are you drunk or something?

Hey I agree with you but here is the rub. It is not the "censorship of everything radical, or even appearing radical" as much as it is taking time honored traditions and eliminating them for purposes of political correctness for fear of meeting disaproval of a MINORITIY persons or special interest groups. The laundry list of such attempts at social reengineering abound. It is out of hand.
