If they are no different from any other words why are they not allowed in movies geared for children? Or on public tv? or allowed on Gamefaqs?
I do like arguing about my liberal ideals and freedoms and all that, but is this really the first time you've heard this argument? I mean, should I just link to a George Carlin special?
There's an excellent episode of Penn & Teller: Bull**** called "Profanity" which really covers all these bases. You can get it somewhere, I know its on Amazon downloads for a dollar or something.
As for why you can't say it on TV or Gamefaqs, one word answer: censorship. And I already mentioned converation between adults, we understand that kids don't use them, or grade school kids actually do but just not in front of adults. Because of oldschool pointless taboo.
But you still haven't answered mine. What is it about these words that bothers you, such that you don't want to hear them? Is the reason you don't want to hear them simply because your parents told you so, or that you can't say them on TV?
