See? Swearings usually tends to create rude conversations, whether by means of insulting or not.

I hope you don't mind me using [REDACTED]. I have to keep my personal promise that I made when I was 12 years old not to swear anymore. Re[REDACTED]d is not a total swear, it can also mean a slower, stopping movement.

And i have no use for them swears, but i don't think completely banning them will make it any better for children. I agree with tonning down, as some users really overuse them, but complete removal i disagree firmly. Just because it starts trying to dictate what people should use or not on chat.

And again, BN9's example of a very offensive non-swear sentence is a LOT more agressive than just a swear.
 * 1) I do agree with not that word not being a total swear but it is still an offensive term none the less.
 * 2) This world is already screwed up as it is. And even if it is, that does not mean the next generations should be affected to.
 * 3) The difference between the two examples that Bul9 gave is that one can possibly strike your feelings hard while the other one is simply laughable but the similarity between the two is that they are both insults. Take note of these following offensive sentences:
 * "You just simply die."
 * "You should just simply f[REDACTED]ing die."

Both sentences are clearly offensive but the second sentence happens to give a much harsher impact due to the presence of a swear word. Not to mention, the swear word use in the second sentence is a very strong one.
