"Those Bad-mouthed people out there"

I have a solution to stop people swearing - just say BEEP (a la BBC) instead.

I tried it with my family. (e.g. "Shut that BEEPY thing up, you BEEPING BEEPING BEEPER"). They seemed to think I was a bit odd. Funny that. Maybe if I keep going, one day it will be considered rude to say "BEEP".

Then I can say that I have affected the development of the english language!!

lol@Fogmaster...

Its good to know humanity has only been around 2000 years :)

And that no-one ever swore before 1970

lol... that really made me laugh... good show :)

iof you think about it, it's only in the last 30 years that these 'swear' words have been used, so what did they do for the first 1970 years when they didn't have the telephone or internet? anyone who heard them speak would see their face, so I guess they only shouted at each other.

There is a lot of wisdom in the words you speak, and i do agree but most sites are filtered and so stopping you from swearing, and it's not like f@#k you has the same effect, so why bother? I'm not saying I don't swear, and in cases as conker's BFD I think it's been used in the right propourtions, but when it comes to South park, it's completly wiped, but it's funnier because it's not there.

Your right man... and I agree with you whole heartedly... Swaering on the whole does you very little good...


(especially if you after a job in the computing/business sector)

However... despite trying to swear as little as possible... there are times and contexts that swearing allows a greater degree of expression than any other presentation...

Especially on the internet where expression is soo hard to achive... swearing can REALLY put your feelings across in a universally understood manner...

Also... I defy you to find a non-swear word thats better suited to defining your emotions of the experience... feelings and exbaration of being hit/kicked/knocked in the balls?

I don't see the point in swearing, it's not big, I used to think I was cool, but then I realised I was really sad, also, they're used to describe things, but isn't it easier just to same the real name?

Swearing shows a lack of vocabulary and intelligence.

Oh well, who gives a BLEEP!?

:-)

Watch out for devilboy. He has a bad mouth on him. If ya go to the wwf forum you'll see him swearin at me.

Maybe you could just not swear in the first place.

You would look like a right BLEEPING BLEEPER if you started doing that! :-)
