Do you think its fair to ban words like.Ho,B*t*ch,N word? Or do you think that it stops our freedom of speach.I think that if you don't like it don't listen to it! I also think that people should stop wasting time on stuff like this

Freedom of speech (not speach) is only unconstitutional when the government does it, and does not apply to the censorship of curse words and offensive words on the airwaves. If the government passed a law banning the use of those words in all instances, then that would be a violation. I agree, people should stop wasting time on this.

In a medium like the one we're using, it's not entirely unfair. As a matter of law, no, specific words shouldn't be 'banned' - doing so abridges free speach - but, using such words in context to incite violence, for instance, should still get you in trouble...

If you are talking about how Yahoo puts the asterisks in place of cuss words on here it is mostly because there are kids that come on this site. Would you want your child on here reading that. Not all parents have the time to censor their kids, so websites do it for them. If you don't like to be censored on here, don't use the site. And BTW...It is SPEECH, not SPEACH!

Any company, government, or organization can set standards as to what type of language is proper to use, it is their legal right. Freedom of speech does not protect you when being offensive toward others.

Offensive, immoral and insulting words must be banned because it has no place in a civilized world.
