This one is also a very interesting topic. I recognise the inherent problems with censorship (who censors and why), but I realise that there is a large amount of censorship in every aspect of our daily lives. I also know that this forum (no forum) would survive more than a couple of weeks without moderation and management. It easy to say we shouldn't censors, and I'd tend to lean this way, but it seem Utopian to believe we can have a censorship free society (the whole what is a society question).north-north-west wrote:Macca81 wrote:It is the context and intent, not the words, that people with the ability to gather intelligent thoughts should be offended by...
Yep.
There is no word anywhere near as offensive as the act of censorship.

Why are we all 'guys' instead of 'blokes'?

Except that they're prawns, and that phrase was Americanised for the overseas ads.

I do like "no worries" though, and that *&%$#! is term of endearment.
