Has anyone been into a garage or repair workshop? Some choice language used there but I'm on a VAG forum that auto deletes "bad" language in case children see it. In my experience children and most women find forums dull boring and slightly sad and the users even more so, I know my missus does!
As reluctant as I am to chime in here....
On the topic of bad language which I have little regard for in curbing myself when appropriate both on and off line, Forget about workshops, have you ever been to a School yard?
Makes me laugh my arse off when people go on about children seeing bad language online. I swear like a trooper but most kids in Primary and certainly High school could leave me for dead. The idea they are never exposed to bad language and it would corrupt them to see it on line makes me question peoples ability to be parents in the first place if they are that stupidly ignorant.
In my repeated observations, the kids in the " good/wealthy" areas are WORSE than those in the not so privileged ones..... not that any of them are the saints the PC washed idiot parents seem to think.
It's just life these days and like so many other things, If you are going to let your kids out into the world they ARE going to be exposed to bad lanuage wether you like it or not.
If that's all they ever got exposed to, they would be living in an ideal world because thee are much worse things out there than that.
A friend of Mines Daughter whom I have known since before school, Started University this year and has had a very hard time of it. She is a very quiet, reserved, HIGHLY intelligent girl that is also an incredibly Drop dead gorgeous stunner..... with a heart of pure Gold.
She has had a lot of problems fitting in because she is not interested in and politely declines the endless offer's of group sex, drug taking, excessive drinking and other such things and has been largely ostracized from social groups because of it.
When a Good kid gets flack for wanting to have some decency and morals and not lower herself to god knows what, it's sad, bloody sad.
She is not a prude or stuck up, she will sit with me and talk and swear quite well. She just has been brought up and instilled with decency and respect for others as well as herself. She went to uni to learn, not to have orgys and get off her face every weekend. Amazingly, seems to be a big attraction to others. If that's what they want to do Fine, just let others who don't be in peace. You never know what friends they have whom aren't wired right and don't give a Fk that would pound you into the ground for giving people they look at like their own kids a hard time for no reason.
As far as moderation here goes, Don't get me angry with that!
This is the most lenient, hands off, fair and well moderated site I have ever seen! This is no moderation because it's not needed and when it is, it's well warranted.
Any complaint of that I would back as cause for a shunt out the door because It does not get any better nor could get any better than here. Even on the sister site there is a power tripping ego maniac that uses his influence to push his own agendas and acts like an arsehole moderating for the sake of making themselves look important which is why I won't have anything to do with the place now he's decided to infect it again.
Never had an issue here at all and anyone that thinks there is a problem needs to appreciate just how good we have it here.
If anyone has any complaints about moderation here I strongly suggest they have a good hard look in the mirror before having a whinge about it because the problem is 99% likley to be REAL close to home.
This place is the best therapy I have. Can come here, talk about anything and it's the one escape I have from my miserable existence.
Every day I appreciate what I learn, the people I can talk to and am grateful for this site. That might sound like a lot of soft Crock but I think those that know my disposition would realise I don't suck up to anyone.... even when I should. :0)
I just believe in stepping back, realising and appreciating the good things you do come across in life instead of taking them for granted.
