( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

First of all, I quite enjoy Prophanity, but that may be completely off-topic ;)

Secondly, I just can't grasp the fact that people are truely offended when reading "shit" or whatever FCC-banned-word. Maybe my mind is too simplistic to grasp this, but I personally don't care much for/get offended by what people say. Yet what does annoy me beyond belief is the censorship. Entire tv-shows, songs on the radio get "raped" by the beeps and slick inserted silences. And what does it solve? Would you be happier to read "Shut the ... up" instead of "Shut the fuck up"? Anyone with half a brain knows what word will fit the blank.

I might be reading the wrong nodes, but I don't even see these words much over here at PM. Besides that, the world ain't perfect. It's a way of speech, which you might censor, but will not take away. I even think you encourage some to use more of these words in different styles (like "What the fsck?") just to bypass the filtering.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
