What's with the censorship anyway?

I like for folks to be able to post with profanity. It says so much about them. I mean, has anyone ever complained about the **bleep**, **bleep**, **bleep**?

Capitalism, even in the best of conditions, is not perfect. It's just leagues ahead of second place.



Democracy is two wolves and a lamb deciding what is for dinner.

Liberty is a well armed lamb disputing the decision.



Except For Ending Slavery, Fascism, Nazism and Communism, WAR has Never Solved Anything. - unknown



Violence is rarely the answer, but when it is, it is the only answer.

Re: What's with the censorship anyway?

Too many rely on profanity in lieu of actual content, so I welcome this profanity filter.

 

Try saying something instead of calling people names. If it is impossible, then bleep away to your heart's content.

I think we can all agree censorship sucks.

If they don't censor bad words, they can't raise the ad revenue necessary to pay for this profoundly **bleep** new forum software.

This is a perfect example of what happens when corporations start controlling things. They turn to poop. Make sure and vote for the corporate party, the republicans! You can expect more of the same.

Perfect. "It's Obama's fault". About what I would expect from you.

Corporate greed has nothing to do with it, right?

Conservative Playbook.

1. Use Bible to "hurt" all that aren't like you.

2. Use Bible to "forgive" your own extramarital affairs, lying and cheating, leading to a "new and better you".

3. Tell the voters that "Jesus has forgiven you".

4. Get re-elected by the most gullible group of people on the planet, (conservative voters)...then marry your mistress.

It fairly easily circumvented so you can  type things like fuck or shit. But from what I've heard they are going to try to remove the filter for all of you that are having trouble expressing yourselves.
