I have always been taught that foul language is not for general public usage. I find that their are enough adjectives available to adequately describe emotions, without needing to use graphic language.

The rules of the forum (like or dislike), have been setup for everyone, and all should abide. That said, there are ways to get your point across, which, I believe would be acceptable to all, such as "SHTF". Everyone knows what your're talking about, and usually will not be offended by such usage.

Anyway, that's my two cent's worth. Damn, my phone's ringing... gotta go! LOL!

BrianBat420, be thankful for a moderated forum; I came from one a while back that was moderated by the community at large, and that once-great forum no longer exists. It systematically degenerated into continuous flame wars and profanity.

The site's name? PACKING.ORG

P.S. - Can someone tell me about the 420 connection and Marijuana?

Just curious.....

I curse a lot (Italian childhood) and really don't see anything wrong with it, but others do and we have to respect other people. That's the problem with society today, most only care about themselves. We curse a lot in the military, but when I am on the radio or talking to superiors no curse words come out of my mouth. I joined this forum, read the rules and try my best to abide by them. DC is a great place to go with a wealth of information...keep up the good work guys and good riddens to 420!

You know a good solution may be to purchase a dictionary and expand you're vocabulary. The Oxford English Dictionary has 60,000 words. Surely you could express yourself effectively without profanity.
