Bad words and vulgarity

[Musafira]

* My simplified definition of bad words and vulgarity consists of those words or phrases that would get most people suspended from school and/or fired from work.

Lately I have seen a lot of members here supporting some uses of bad words and vulgarity and I am curious as to know why it's considered to be acceptable by some if it is supposidly "proving a point"? Since when did it become necessary to use such language to prove a point? Can anyone say whatever they want or use whatever kind of examples they want so long as they claim they are doing so to proving a point?

Let me remind members that weeks ago someone posted a news article in the science section whose title mentioned the scientific (not slang) word of a male ducks private parts and due to complaints about THAT word being indecent it was removed from the title and the title changed to "Duck related info". I am not saying that was wrong. If that particular word offends/embarrasses members then I am glad it was removed. My point in bringing that up is that that was not even meant to be vulgar or provocative and yet people here protested against it.

If we can't even tolerate a word like that in a science article why are we tolerating slang references to female body parts, slang words for male bodily functions and slang words for reproduction ? Those are just a few examples.

This is not something that is on the rise. I only witnesed it in two threads.

Which two thread? examples will help me understanding musafira's point.

I'm guilty of this.
I try not to curse in English and I try not to curse on PF.

But in Pashto and around my cousins.. ooooooooh boy.

[Saifullah]

So u swear in pashto....pashto swear words sound worse than english swear words...

Yes, but in Pashto, you swear out of love too, in English you don't.
How often has your father called you "Da Khra zo"? See, there ya have it.
Swearing is a more vital part of the Pashto language than the English language.

Musafira I appreciate you speaking up. I have noticed a few members here are trying even go as far as creating a division here. One member specifically upon his return has created quite a negative environment which is slowly recovering. I think we should all realize that in a way we are all the same people!

Thanks Musafira... i absolutely agree with you.....

Vulgarity is not at all essential to prove however right a point, to be humourous and to make more friends....

i too have been seeing such things lately...although its brought to the notice the Admin and Moderators and action is taken.....

and Shlombay...dont point out at any ones thread or anyone's post specifically... and now you every one discusses what threads and whose post, this thread is also going to be converted into one which are trying to avoid...

and also it was seen in one or two posts only..... better to be stopped when seen in one or two post, if we dont resist or take action it will definitely increase...

please let us all work towards making PF a unique forum.... i request to everybody that let us not get down to level of such people to make them understand our point........rather dont respond to such people who use vulgar language and bad words.....ask them to first rewrite modestly and then we reply....

Manana Musafira again.....

[Dukemina]

Manana khorey, this is MUCH needed for us all. It's sucha turnoff when people use foul language, ugh!

[Musafira]

About the video above I think that if someone "enjoys" swearing then I think they should do that somewhere it is welcomed and I do not believe that it is here. There are rules here and according to the rules of this forum :


By registering at the PF Message Boards, users agree that any post deemed inappropriate may be removed at the sole discretion of PF. PF also has the right, at its sole discretion, to revoke Board privileges at any time without notice or reason. Think of these rules as a forewarning and, if you break them,you are taking your account status into your own hands.

Posts containing offensive, obscene, sexually oriented, violent, vulgar,illegal dialog, images, content, or links to such will be edited or deleted by the Moderators depending on the content. Posting such material can result in an immediate ban for the user.


An excerpt taken from the questionable content section: " PF is a public Message Board, so act like you would if you were in a public place.

What I posted was only a very small portion of some of the rules/guidelines that I thought pertained to this thread so I urge anyone who has not read them to please do so now. They are found here: http://www.pashtunforums.com/support...-13/rules-370/

The rules also says no personal attacks, you should see how I was welcomed to the forum by these honourable members, also DZJ sweared at nokia apriday she still enjoys the status of senior member.

If you don't like it take actions don't give lectures and those who wants to use it will either leave or forced to leave. Having said that there should not be any discrimination.
