Censoring Swearing ...

[sunny-dave]

... yes I know he's a satirical creation - that's why we're in CB.

But I think there are a lot of valid points made in this rant ...

***** NB - there is swearing in this clip - there has to be - that's what it is about - so don't watch if you will be offended, or if your kids (or indeed parents) are within earshot *****

I thought the points he made, coupled with the absolutely understood passion with which he made them, were excellent.

Made me laugh, I love a good rant. He must have had lessons from Billy Connolly.

I had a music teacher called Mr Pie (Pye?)

He was often passionate, sometimes to the point of hysteria. He was the first flouncy, hand-flapping gay person I ever met.
Didn't swear much but teared up. when enraged, which was most of the time:)

I haven't conducted a detailed analysis but I would estimate that this deliberately inflammatory/satirical piece contains somewhat less that 2% profanities.

I am overall not offended by swearing and can, by some, be considered to be a bit of a 'potty mouth', which is an expression that I find more irritating than most swear words,

Having said that I have abandoned Martina Cole as an author as she does use swearing as punctuation.

Swearing doesn't bother me in the slightest, never has. Martina Cole is one of my favourite authors and I could never give her up !

I am not offended by swearing at all, but I am a firm believer in place and time.

People who swear everywhere all the time are simply unaware, and lack the social grace to match their language to their environment.

I can swear like a docker in the office, but I don't think my children have ever heard me swear, or me them.

If you are no prudes I suggest you check out Kevin 'bloody' Wilson on Wilkepedia. The titles on his discography are pretty ripe but the lyrics are hilarious. I think I have all his albums and dare not play them when driving.

Always listen to Jonathan Pie. He says what a lot of people are thinking, but too afraid to say. What ever is it all coming too? Talk about Orwellian!

[ummmm]

Made me laugh. Especially the bit about students.
