Foul language in posts acceptable?
 

I have been noticing a trend to see more and more mispelled foul language in posts on this site. Very rare on other sites. I understand some people talk that way among friends but I have always thought it is very unprofessional to speak that way in public. Even more so in print. I have some friends with young sons who enjoy powerboating who like to read OSO. They have commented it is getting to the point of not allowing thier sons to view OSO posts any longer.

Id say its pretty mild compared to the things they see on tv. Have you watched Family Guy or South Park lately?

I would agree with Teambaja. It is pretty mild for the most part on here.

I sometimes think that we have become overly sensitive about these types of things. We make such a huge deal out of being politically correct, sheltering our youth from all of the "bad" things in the world, and the like and its blown out of proportion. I know when I first moved across the pond, I was shocked at how uncensored things are. There is no bleeping out cuss words, for nudity on regular tv, and open for viewing in public. This would appall half of the people in the US, while it is the norm here and nobody even seems to notice. I think this is one thing Europe does better than the US.

Just my 2 cents...

X2......and yet we all sit luridly in front of the TV watching Springer or 6 o'clock news video of the latest jackwagon to walk into a police precinct with a shotgun and start blasting (yes....just happend in Detroit this week.) Sorry....maybe getting off topic....just a soap box kinda Saturday. Peace out!

be a parent, dont try to change the world, teach the kids whats acceptable and not. in time as they grow they will make the right choices.

did the same thing with my daughters face book account, explained to her why it wasn't acceptable to allow someone to write cuss-words on her wall..she got it, instead of complaining to them about it, she now just deletes it..the same kids don't do it anymore. :)

F@ck off






:party-smiley-004:

Its all in good fun....alot of guys joke around on here,,, its just OSO talk.... :kiss:

I have to agree with the rest. This is a mainly adult forum and anything kids will see here is EXTREMELY mild to what they can and do see elsewhere. At least they took ogrish.com down. You are really concerned about a few misspelled bad words these days?:eek:

Other than some silver spooners and dreamers, most of the stuff on this forum is so far out of most kids league that there are very few that ever bother coming through here.

So like the others, I'd have to say your concerns are mostly ill-placed.

Tell the kid to get off the computer and pick up a book.

I prefer phuck off :evilb:

I think it should depend on who we are talking about.
There are certain problem members that can't be accuratly described without using bad language. :angry-smiley-038:

Haha Lube im right there with you, and the sad part is im prob. one of those members, that is the only way to decribe me. :eek:

Even more than on the forums .
I'm constantly surprised at how far every day TV pushes the envelope . Doesn't bother me personally but catchs me off guard when watching TV with my mother in law .

We are way to protected. It bullsh!t. Everyday it gets worse, with 2 huge things comeing to mind
1. No one wants to take responsbility. Lets sue everyone because we are idiots and dont want to work and like the easy way out

2. Let shelter the kid away from all lets put them in a big bubble so nothing can touch them. Then when they hit the real world, ouch like a 2x4 across the Jaw and nose. They are not ready.

This is a nightclub, not a daycare. The sport is based on fast boats, fast women, excess and general non-conformity. Per my avatar, if this was a motorcycle club it would be the Hells Angels, not the Del Boca Vista Goldwing bunch.

My .02

sh!thead. Grow up

Brad is 100% correct in that the bad language should be in the Bilge or Uncensored sections.
I don't think the insults, cussing, and sexual talk should be in the General or Technical sections.
I come here to learn about engines and boats. If you want to chat like school girls there should
be a section for that kind of banter.

So now F@ck OFF and DIE.

Go Blow a Goat.

Shoot a wad into someone mouth because you don't like my engine builder.

Phuck Off.

Oh shoot. Now I'm just like you guys. Damn it. :eek:

Where's the love :kiss:

Hey, I finally fuking agree with DollaBill!:evilb::coolcowboy:
