******** is coming out as ****************.


I had written B U L L S H I T
It means:
[Slang] foolish, insincere, exaggerated, or boastful talk; nonsense


Therefore, it is not a cuss word.

Can this be corrected?

Thanks.

Well, I for one am glad that's fixed.

However terms such Spaff-monkey are things that can never be hunted down along with terms deliberately missspelt, but that everyone comprehends... Trying to keep up with neologisms is impossible as any censorious King Cunutut will Fooking find out sooner or later. The terms are not directed. I merely use them as an example. If I say " **** " and it is therefore edited, does that mean that no-one will understand if I deliberately use "*" and type " f**K". Forgive me, but I fail to see the difference.

I hope that on that little experiment you guys note that the full version of the "F" word was replaced and that the version with stars as the central characters got through. What a load of sill*ne*s.

I disapprove most kinds of censorships. Cursing should be discouraged, but censoring these words with *** never seemed normal to me.

Hey, old fashioned liberterian ****s ( read: c*nts ) are just out of place in this crazy ****ing ( read: f**king ) sensitive world.

It makes me sad y'know.

Ah well, best to get back to finding info on how to kill people. Appocalypse Now has Kurtz establish the following logic (to paraphrase)
"They have us drop bombs on women and children, but will not let us paint the word '****' on the side because they say that it is obscene"

Further the beginning of 3 Kings saying something about the unnacceptable term "sand - ******" immediately followed by his suggestion that "camel jockey" and "rag-head" are "perfectly appropriate substitutes."

I will probably be in Dubai Dec/Jan. working. How are the Palms? Mate of mine has just bought.

Yeah I love the word.

I told it to a General, who is my coursemate and now the Vice Chief. He is a damned Engineer!

He loved it. I told him that it was from another Engineer from the Candian Army. He loved it more!

Last heard, he is using it and everyone think he has done US CGSC!
