Have you no class at all? You should be ashamed.

Hey guys, please don't swear on the fourm. We could have younger folks browsing. Less importantly, it can also prevent this forum from showing up in the almighty google. ;)

I am going to add some sensor for a few here. Obviously you can find a way around that but that will just add more work for me. I try to keep the rules as minimal as possible but this is important.

Thanks!

Thanks you very much Sir!

Everybody also knows what abbreviations like: WTF means as used recently.

I appreciate it. My young Son come on this site too.

Agreed.. I write here as though your son/daughter/grandson/granddaughter is sitting next to you. There's no reason to swear.. If you have to get a point across, bold it or underline it, or make it a different font, but please be considerate of the possibility of kids..

And, if you enjoy the site while at work, swearing gets the site blocked quickly..

let’s consider some of the common questions we’re asked about swearing.
Is swearing problematic or harmful?
Courts presume harm from speech in cases involving discrimination or sexual harassment. The original justification for our obscenity laws was predicated on an unfounded assumption that speech can deprave or corrupt children, but there is little (if any) social-science data demonstrating that a word in and of itself causes harm. A closely related problem is the manner in which harm has been defined — harm is most commonly framed in terms of standards and sensibilities such as religious values or sexual mores. Rarely are there attempts to quantify harm in terms of objectively measurable symptoms (e.g., sleep disorder, anxiety). Psychological scientists could certainly make a systematic effort to establish behavioral outcomes of swearing.
Swearing can occur with any emotion and yield positive or negative outcomes. Our work so far suggests that most uses of swear words are not problematic. We know this because we have recorded over 10,000 episodes of public swearing by children and adults, and rarely have we witnessed negative consequences. We have never seen public swearing lead to physical violence. Most public uses of taboo words are not in anger; they are innocuous or produce positive consequences (e.g., humor elicitation). No descriptive data are available about swearing in private settings, however, so more work needs to be done in that area.
Therefore, instead of thinking of swearing as uniformly harmful or morally wrong, more meaningful information about swearing can be obtained by asking what communication goals swearing achieves. Swear words can achieve a number of outcomes, as when used positively for joking or storytelling, stress management, fitting in with the crowd, or as a substitute for physical aggression. Recent work by Stephens et al. even shows that swearing is associated with enhanced pain tolerance. This finding suggests swearing has a cathartic effect, which many of us may have personally experienced in frustration or in response to pain. Despite this empirical evidence, the positive consequences of swearing are commonly disregarded in the media. Here is an opportunity for psychological scientists to help inform the media and policymakers by clearly describing the range of outcomes of swearing, including the benefits.
Is it bad for children to hear or say swear words?
The harm question for adult swearing applies to issues such as verbal abuse, sexual harassment, and discrimination. When children enter the picture, offensive language becomes a problem for parents and a basis for censorship in media and educational settings. Considering the ubiquity of this problem, it is interesting that psychology textbooks do not address the emergence of this behavior in the context of development or language learning.
Parents often wonder if this behavior is normal and how they should respond to it. Our data show that swearing emerges by age two and becomes adult-like by ages 11 or 12. By the time children enter school, they have a working vocabulary of 30-40 offensive words. We have yet to determine what children know about the meanings of the words they use. We do know that younger children are likely to use milder offensive words than older children and adults, whose lexica may include more strongly offensive terms and words with more nuanced social and cultural meanings. We are currently collecting data to better understand the development of the child’s swearing lexicon.
We do not know exactly how children learn swear words, although this learning is an inevitable part of language learning, and it begins early in life. Whether or not children (and adults) swear, we know that they do acquire a contextually-bound swearing etiquette — the appropriate ‘who, what, where, and when’ of swearing. This etiquette determines the difference between amusing and insulting and needs to be studied further. Through interview data, we know that young adults report to have learned these words from parents, peers, and siblings, not from mass media.
Considering that the consequences of children’s exposure to swear words are frequently cited as the basis for censorship, psychological scientists should make an effort to describe the normal course of the development of a child’s swearing lexicon and etiquette. Is it important to attempt to censor children from language they already know? While psychological scientists themselves do not establish language standards, they can provide scientific data about what is normal to inform this debate.

Sincere apologies to all. Sometime my fingers are posting while my brain is off doing other things. I also find shiny objects, and candy to be very distracting.

Very sorry. It won't happen again.
Darn Vivo... See what YOU did! :D

I know what you guys are saying about the Harley riders.  I'm in the heart of Harley country...Milwaukee, WI.  But for the most part I don't get much grief from them.  They will either wave, nod, or do some other form of acknowledgement or do nothing at all.  A couple of times you will get the snide remark from one of them but I don't care.  They paid over $10k for their ride, where I got mine for $1 and ~$120 for parts.  I did have two good encounters with other bikers though, one was a Harley group up here for the Harley anniversary and they loved the bike, and another was from a sport bike who said my little ride "hauled ass." 

I guess the main thing is, no matter what you do in life, there will always be someone that will give you trouble.  As long as you enjoy what you are doing and it's morally right, it shouldn't bother you.

I figured you had just slammed the door and got on the net to avoid spouting that at someone else... Sorry I instigated you.

You know what I think is funny about this thread... The concept is about Bitc_y Harley owners, and their go shove it attitude, and there is plenty of that coming from the sweet as honey scooter riders toward the Harley guys. Go Figure!
