Who cares if I say, "Fuck."

Does that actually physically or mentally hurt someone? Of course not. If you don't like those words then ignore them. If a restaurant serves me raw squid, I ignore it. I don't start crying, get pissed off, and call the government to get something that I don't like off my plate.

The real world is full of hard decisions and difficult tasks that need to get done. If you are unduly upset by a swear word, naked picture, or opinion that you seriously disagree with, then you will certainly get nowhere in overcoming life's real challenges.

Stop using the excuse that you are trying to protect children because kids take everything in stride and could not care less about most of the stuff you seek to censor. The real harm to children comes when kids ask adults about sex or other controversial ideas and are met with fear, vague answers, and the general impression that their curiosity is wrong and they were "bad" for asking.

Rather than try to block out the harshness of life and the difficult differences that exist among us, try to understand those who offend you and try to remember that ideas and expressions are not illegal until they are committed to action. Unfortunately for the weak minded, the constitution protects the rights of all to express their views on life. So stop trying to control expression, open your mind, and say, "what the fuck."
