The point is... (Score 1)

I see your point but do you see mine? Like I said think as a teacher not as a person. Personally I don't really care if I see a cuss word or not. I would like to be able to get rid of them, but if I cant it's not going to make me stop coming to slashdot.

But let's face it... people as a whole are stupid. No offense to anyone here, but as a whole people are stupid. We had a school have to rewrite their entire marketing campaign because they said that they could help students prepare for a career and the people felt it was the parents who should choose a child's career not a school. It was something that would help the kids in their career but the people as a whole are stupid and don't want it.

So what I am saying is I know that an * or a beep in a cuss word is kinda senseless, you know that it is senseless, but the people as a whole (perhaps a better word is the community) doesn't see it that way. They find it as being an appropriate alternative. OF course if they always got their way we wouldn't know what its like to touch, talk with, kiss, or interact with the opposite sex, we wouldn't have a clue what sex was, we'd think babies came from storks, we'd never be in a fight in our life, and the worst word from our mouth would be "Golly!". heh
