Things like this will always be a part of our lives.. I just wish people weren't so serious and censor everything that happens. As long as you aren't endangering other people or anything worth-while, why not do what pleases us? by the way, eddie, there is no way that any country or society in the world is fully “civilized.” Things like this will always be a part of our lives..

All im tryin to say is that your taking foul language to seriously, ye it is a bit of a decay on society if you know what i mean. for example i hate when people swear in front of women and children, i aleays like squirm and look away cause it embarrasing. but the way your making it out it seems like some kind terrorist organisation plotting to kill santa clause (parden the metaphor) or summet. But i think as the world goes on and on human beings just find more and more ways to worsen them selfs, thats just life. I dont think swearing is one of the things you should be worring about, you all have good opinions and this is a great article, but i just have a different opinion than you lot. P.s sorry for being a wanker to you all i respect you opinions so sorry ( i am actually being serious) but just one thing fffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuukkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk Im being deadly serious now im not tryin to insult any one or anything and i wont swear either haha.
