Whoa now, let's not get too hasty here

Surely we will be ok without a swear box

I don't think the word Pissed, is rude to be honest, it's a bodily function at the end of the day and most youngsters swear like troopers these days.
It's us grown ups that need to catch up I think

That is a common word used in the states, nothing wrong with it I think.

I guess if we wouldn't say something in front of company or parents then perhaps that something shouldn't be typed

I agree Jim, But what are swear words and what are sayings, I work with blokes and we all swear, and my parents swore. I let the odd one out at home too.
I think if a word is directed at someone and is meant to hurt that person, that's wrong and should be pulled up.
on the whole, this site is quite tame and we all jolly along quite well.

I think on the whole we are pretty good, this is a man's world forum after all, but I would not like to see lots of posts with effs and blinds all the time, I think we can do better than that, Rick

I can get very agricultural at times, and do attempt to limit this to the appropriate time and place........there probably, realistically isn't one!
I do think that this site has got a grip on it, and I for one, am pleased to use it knowing it has genuine good humour, common sense and mutual respect. There is banter that is great fun, and it does not get anywhere as coarse or hurtful as I have read elsewhere.
It is up to us all to continue this standard. What you would not say in front of either your parents or kids, is probably the most reasonable guideline.......keep up the good work, great site, good folks......

Having re read that, I did not mean to imply that girlie's are not part of the forum, indeed I like and welcome the girlie input, but was more focusing on this is an adult site more than a children's site, big boys toys and all that, Rick

that and being a Kiwi farmers son i knew every swear word there was before the age of 5.
It certainly hasn't effected my vocabulary.

So should we trust politicians?

You can always tell when a politician's lying,
His /her lips move..

Hardly a swear word when you can buy the product.
