    You need to learn how to write in cursive instead of just speaking it you Chupa Pinga. Look it up cara de mierda !!!

    (I'm going to start only using profanity in Spanish from now on you cabrones !! :cool:)

    I'd prefer to see the profanity confined to Free Speech Alley, where one can expect to hear unbridled free speech, and avoid it if he chooses. I think that some profanities are fighting words and just lead to insults and mindless sparring on the main board and makes it less family and workplace friendly in addition to boring for the rest of us not involved in the argument. I also think some of the overt vulgarities belong on a Junior-high playground, not a serious forum.

    But BRETT makes the rules. Members should let him know how we feel.

    I understand the concept of free speech and respect the right of people to speak how they please. In general I find people who use profanity without context are usually intelectually lazy and immature. Usually someone who resorts to profanity has already lost the argument.
    As Red said profanity is emotional and tends to stop a conversation rather than encourage one.
    Engage your brain to back up your opinion make your points with good arguement using well chosen words....and if you can't F*CK YOU:D

    I don't understand the point in typing out cuss words. I can convey a point with passion without expletives. Now if I kick the bed post in the middle of the night, that is a different animal.

    "You're", not "your".
    From your neighborhood vocabulary police.

    I hope you understand the verse you're quoting has nothing to do with people using profanity to emphasize a point.

    From the I know the translation of Hebrew to English police.

    I prefer lots of adjectives instead, in my verbal diet. Gives me that sense that everything is a go with my favorite team. As far as rebutting an overzealous, but no doubt sincere, but nonetheless, highly confused rival poster, I try not to alienate anyone with my unique perspective, by using words that inflame the passions.
