“The foolish and wicked practice of profane cursing and swearing is a vice so mean and low that every person of sense and character detests and despises it.” George Washington

Inept - FYI George Washington is not that place you go see bands play, its a person and he was the first president of the United States among other things.

I dont believe in censorship of any kind. But there is no reason not to use good manners.
My two cents. (3.25 cents canadian)

There goes my $peso:

For sure if some parents where reading all the profanity, swearing, bad language, etc. on some postings Im sure many Kiters (tennagers) would be left a the beach with no kites due to the lack of education that they show.

Just my thought and no offense Smile

Adrian

At the end you are what you show!

for me if you use F*** or the actual word, do you think a 10 year old will not know what you are talking about? If they know what you are saying then what would the point be. Like a wet t-shirt contest..you still know what they look like even if they still have a shirt on right?

Well said PKH - I never meant to request "censoring" just wanted to throw it out there for the crowd and knew the "c" word would grab attention. This is Oregon after all. Laughing

Seems like every song I grab to put over my kite video footage has a sprinkling of profanity however.

I think all of us should just keep in mind that kids do read this forum (since it is so great!) Let's just watch ourselves Laughing Laughing
