if this happens, then i will eat not only my hat, but my t shirt also. then i will move to australia, not that i wasnt planning to anyway. but if this happens then nobody will stop swearing. in fact i would just swear more if this happened. its not like anyone can do anything about it. it will be a law thats not even enforced, like piracy laws.

So how do you swear on the Bible in court then?
Or hold on...does that mean
Ulysses by James Joyce
The Catcher in the Rye by J. D. Salinger
Glengarry Glen Ross by David Mamet
Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut
And most works of Shakespear
are now illegal? We should have a book burning!
and pretty much every movie, tv show, internet site, book, play, comic strip (print and webcomic), anime, manga, video game, and anything else thats worth seeing/reading/whatever. and what about when people cover it with random symbols like %^@*? and what about acronyms like wtf? or things like "effing"? trust me its not gonna happen. in all seriousness there was once a time when they tried to ban coffee in america. even prohibition only lasted a few years, and drunkenness actually increased in those years. and then there are those times when its used in a context so it has an actual meaning as in "the damned are sent to hell". and the idea of having to censor it all. and this coming from a guy that i dont even have to check his party, and know how much they go on about free speech. then again, its almost like political correctness. but now that i think about it, this is to protect kids right? well i think that its alright if kids know how to swear, its not like they think "hey i heard the f word, that means i can go out and murder someone!" it doesnt work that way people! and why ask me to think of the children? i hate kids.
