2) Keep it clean.

Profanity and obscenities will not be tolerated. This includes masked profanity where letters are substituted with special characters.



I object. Words are nothing but a sequence of characters. If you take a word like "hello" and write it as "h*e*llo" then it is no longer hello, but a new sequence of characters and thus a new word. Therefore, we should be able to do that. And I don't care what you say, but "sex" is not a profanity/obscenity.

SRG, I don't see where it says "sex" is profane or obscene.
And how would you say your new word "h*e*llo"? Is it pronounced "Hasteriskeasteriskllo"

Actually, I can't name them but I do recall four or five. They're all hosts of "Queer eye for the straight guy".

I also object to some of this forums naughty words being very prudish. But I do recognize this is their ballgame and if I want to play I must go by the rules.

Regarding what Mongo said about every man wanting to do it with a strange woman, well I prefer they aren't too strange. LOL. Actually though it is my belief that we need to rise about our baser nature. I think much of what organized religion has placed upon us is teaching invented by man and not God. I'm not trying to turn this into a religious discussion just responding to what he said. And yes I would have no problem doing away with the racism all over the world. If we could get rid of racism and a lot of isms maybe we could tear down borders all over the world. Maybe I'm just hoping for utopia here on earth.

But along those same lines when I read articles from various cycle rags and the hassles at the borders and from authority figures within those countries it makes my blood boil. Well sorry I've digressed.

Biker1817 is on a roll. He posted something to what I said and I laughed so hard I cried.

Sometimes it's good to find humor even if it's at your own expense.
