i had the idea that in the US you treasured freedom of expresion...Are u a fraid of words? dont u think a word is just a word??? If u are not allowed to use certain words, how can u feel free? who decides which words can and cannot be used?
Is not hypocritical to cover the curses in certain tv programmes like Jerry Springer Show when the whole program is *****???
And just one last thing no more comments about my pic if u dont like it dont look at it...some of u are starting to be a really pain in the a*** (is that word allowed?)...allow ,my god! what a verb, sounds horrible!!!

laws are a way of assuring the well being of people...but controlling the language is controlling who u are...If u give too much importance to the form u usually forget the deeper meaning...just have to look at the vatican and most catholics and u will see that

Demonization and repression on the very word **** is an index into the culture of the US. What is its use? What power is derived in such repression-- or is it merely vestigial and something begging to be freed? Arguing for the former, to cauterize fück from proper speech we also castrate the sense of the word sex-- it becomes clinical, though it refers to the same act. And anything that does refer to such aberrant social behaviors, such as a good fück, will be likewise prohibitted and marginalized. There are other words with powerful strength, saying them invokes danger, non-conformity, crassness, lack of civilization, the encroachment of evil, lack of restraint, etc.
But what power is gained.. ? the clinical and scientific neutering of the word sex, brings it to the level of submission to the social preference-- the invokation of sex is the acceptance that it is already understood to be taboo. the words vagina and penis suffer the same mutilation. It renders the act on biological -- that is animal/primitive terms-- and far from making the sense distinct from the idea of the Carnal, the notion is built into the subversion by the exclusion of the passionate terms. So the power gained, is that of the rational mind, who beats back the devil of his/her sexuality in order to talk about the real world apart from our perverted life behind closed doors -- and likewise serves to perpetuate the exclusion of various paroles of US language which employ great use of the word, celebreate it even, and to perpetuate divisions between social classes on a similar level.
The other case, that it is merely vestigal that we haven't freed ourselves from our own repression, for some of the reasons directly above seems to lose force. We enojy the employment of the word in its taboo-status. We can conjure it up in dire situations to express the gradient of our dismay, because it's steeped in a history of being inappropriate. It is the scapegoat word that hails deliverance from the quotidian taxonomies of our practical vicissitudes. It is glorified and demonized, glorified because it is enslaved--- both begging freedom and in its cry punished in a tragic dance that throws it back behind the cell door.
I'll end here. It's complicated.

My friend....that word is not forbidden but it is considered not so nice to say in polite society. So are a few other words and since this is a forum for all kinds of people including children we don't write out the words. It's just being considerate of other people. I think your speedo is beautiful. LOL

Go ahead, ask, man.You are rebel, I like that..Turmoil is good...it refreshing.Hows Spain going? Body? There is those whom affected by rebellious exposure in two ways...accepting or denying...both really concern or attached to judgment...Those who are indifferent to your flesh rather interested in philosophy which wisely remind us that everyone is a happy owner of that more than common structure. It is quite exhausting to hear the word f*uck all over, every day, 7days per week...it lost its significant sense looooong ago, and now represents annoying sound...

There is no such thing as freedom of speech, expression, etc. as everything is completely censored and dumbed down for the general public.
There is no such thing as real freedom. After all, why do we have laws if we live in a "free" country?

The word you are referring to implies an invitation that not everyone feels comfortable hearing or saying GET THE PICTURE? Some words have been selectively deleted from a healthy vocabulary. and that to is referred to as healthy choice.and Freedom to choose. and please stop trying to appeal to our freedoms when trying to give those kind of words a right to be heard.

If these are the only words you can come up with to express yourself, you need to enlarge your vocabulary. Free speech means you don't go to jail for expressing yourself.

I know, I swear in front of my kid, and people who are bound by societies hypocritical rules look down on me. It's just word that I sometimes use to vent. I swear in front of my kid and say, listen kid you can swear in front of me cause I swear in front of you, just don't use it against me as I don't use it against you. and don't swear infront of your teachers or a cop...because they will jump all over it because they are following societies rules and are psychological damage because they are unable to find their own minds because they are part of the mass ignorance of society.

first of all....I think you have a great body, 2nd it's more due to the children that are on this site that we try to watch what we say so we don't encourage them and letting them think it is okay to write because they are not speaking.
