let's discuss language censorship!
after posting a status on facebook containing more than a few (lighthearted) "f" bombs, one of my aunts politely asked me to stop using the word because she'd "rather not see it." I normally don't curse like a sailor, anyway...I was quite drunk. but that's beside the point. this was my reply to her:
language censorship is a ridiculous, self-defeating cause and that is something I feel very strongly about. I respectfully refuse to compromise my beliefs to accommodate you. of course, I use discretion; but seeing as this is a public forum and you have the option to either de-friend me or take me off of your news feed (the latter, I hope), I see no reason to censor myself. it was not my intention to hurt anyone with my language, and it saddens me that anyone would construe such negativity in a mere word. anyway, I mean no disrespect, really. :)
thoughts?
