Has bastard changed it's meaning these last few years? It would seem easier to find a new word for children born within wedlock.
 
Prcisely! I'm afraid my WMC upbringing wouldn't allow me or my offspring to get involved in producing children without the ball and chain. Presumably shotgun weddings are a rarity nowadays?
 
:lol: :lol: - I've known one or two - some friends from my village got married when Tracey was 5 months pregnant. Personally, I can think of nothing more tacky than walking down the aisle heavily pregnant - were I to be in such a position I would rather wait until after the baby was born. I am somewhat of a traditionalist too & would personally rather not want to get involved with having babies unless I was married. Not that I am against having children out of wedlock - each to their own. Personally, I would rather I was married before starting a family, all depending on circumstances though naturally.
 
Erm, no - white!!!!!!!!! :confused: :lol:

(and if you knew her you would realise just how inappropriate that was....)
 
Ardross,
losts of off topic posts around,lets see if you are even handed.Delete the fuckers.
 
I never ever ever type swear words, I use them in the same way as French Connection do, but I'm quite willing and able to refrain from such language if people might be offended.
So there's no need to tell me to Far cough. :D

A good example of why it would be wrong to ban swearing.
 
I regard that remark as fatuous

This was a thread asking for views on one subject - As usual Derek's post was that of a troll out to cause dissension and trouble and completely irrelevant to the question.

I will close this poll tomorrow midnight and put the results of it to all the Mods and Col .
 
As one Mod to another, Ardross: would it not have been an idea to have run this past us first, before just launching it on an unsuspecting forum and other Mods? And what brought it up, anyway?

I don't like the 'c' word one bit, or its gratuitous overuse, here, there, or anywhere. I don't like it disguised as cnut, either, but IN THE RIGHT CONTEXT it can be very funny - as per simmo's post. Not that long ago, we'd have read novels which included "D--n you to h---, sir!" - which left me totally confused and fearing something far, far worse. Then damn and hell became acceptable, then b-----, then b-----d, and then even (gosh!) 'bloody bastard'. You can probably blame 'From Here to Eternity' for some of this sort of thing.

Regardless of your poll, I'm not going to censor anything, including swear words, on the grounds of individual taste. I find a number of jokes on here, unedited by you, distasteful. I don't censor them, or ask for them to be removed. I don't even pretend that precocious children might be looking in and being corrupted by a forum which is primarily for racing - not something an 11 y.o. can attend without a supervising adult present, by the way - verily, unto the age of 16 shall they be turned away.

I don't like censorship UNLESS things are taking up Col's bandwidth, which is supplied free to us, with endless sniping and bickering. Then I feel quite happy to close a topic if it's being ignored and is just a vehicle for bitching.

We already have Board rules, when people sign up, that preclude abusing people personally, or of making remarks likely to cause offence on the grounds of race, religion, colour, etc. I think that's enough - calling a specific forumite, for example, a 'queer spic' doesn't make it more offensive if he's called a 'bloody queer spic'. It's offensive as it is.
 
**** ****

see there is an auto censor when i can be bothered to enter swear words into it
try typing the f or c word now :)
 
Dom, yes I swear. Of course I do. However, I do choose my words carefully. For eexample, I never swear in front of my parents or children at my school. Amongst adults, I see no problem.
 
when you ***** have decided whether you're going to allow swearing or not, let me know and I'll either keep the ******* in, or take the ******* out, as requested.
 
I find it hard to talk about racing insiders without using the f or c words. Couldn't we just clean up racing instead?
 
Like Jon, I think this is a pointless thread and as the rest of us Mods weren't asked for our views, I am locking it.
