What is the point of censorship?
Really, there is no such thing as a bad word - only bad uses of words. Why are people so concerned over the words shit and fuck? They are only words. What is so terribly evil about these that they have a stigma associated with their use?
For instance, I was watching Cartoon Network last night. They pulled up a frame that read "Fcuk it, let's go eat". So, really, who is being fooled here? That obviously states Fuck it. What's the big deal? If everyone knows what it says, it has effectively been said on the air. The same with F**k it. If censors will allow that much to be aired, then why not just let people go out and say fuck? They have, in a sense, already allowed it.
And, shiznat. Everyone knows that is shit. If it has the same meaning, then should it not also be under this banned list? If it's not the meaning of the word that is under concern, that what? You can't tell me that a four letter combination sets people of so?
I really hope that humanity has much more intelligence and reasoning than to deem an arbitrary grouping of letters as being offensive.
However, the more I observe, the more I am inclined to think that people are just plain dumb.
Oh, and semi-relatedly, there is no such thing as being politically correct. It is not the words that are offensive, it is the way they are used. If you look up fat in the dictionary, you get "Obesity; corpulence". Saying an overweight person is fat is correctly using the word. Insisting on having people refer to overweight people as being "weight challenged" is a load of shit. I can go up to someone and say "Jesus! Why don't you do something other than sit around all day feeding your face you fucking weight challenged assed shit!" See, the usage was "weight challenged", but the statement is still hurtful. Use of "political correctness" will not bring elightenment or compassion. Those that will scorn others for being different do not have the capacity to be swayed by insisting on alternative forms of descriptions; they will continue to be the way they are. Face it, if you're fat, you're fat; short, you're short; dumb, you're dumb. Those are the definitions of the words, and their use should not be altered, just because some people no longer like them. People just need to learn that those that would say such things are just not worth the effort of listening to.
