Thread: let's discuss language censorship!

The problem with language censorship is **** ****** *** **** ***** ** **** * **** **** ********* * *** *** *.

It's a very easy solution: **** ****** *** **** ***** ** **** * **** **** ********* * *** *** ****** ** **** * **** **** ********* * *** *** *.

I'm not a big fan of censorship, and swear a lot irl(mostly fokking, godverdomme and tering, that's dutch)
altough for example I choose to not use the word kanker(cancer) like some I know use it, but I have no problems with others using it since I find it's their own choice
and I also don't use godverdomme in the presence of my father or his side of the family(since they're christian)

and I don't have the facebook problem, I have hyves(kind of a dutch version of facebook), and the only familymember who uses it too is my mother, and she barely uses it and isn't my friend on it

here in the netherlands it is, especially under youth, there are people who use it in front of almost every word(for example: kanker gast, dat is kankergaaf, translation: cancer dude, that's cancercool)
just like fuck is typically english(we do say fok and fokking, but that's derived from fuck, not a native dutch word, altough some people do translate english expressionss like what the fuck to wat de neuk, but that's clearly just literarly translated from the english)
