Gosh darn! Cussing banned in California town

This will never be enforceable by law. You would either have to presribe the words - which can be replaced by evolved swear words - (funt, there you go) or you would have to define what you're enforcing, eg, any such word which could be deemed reasonably offensive. Of course, gven the dynamics of our language, this definition could apply to calling someone a moron for instance.

Interesting that california, having some of the highest violence and crime rates in the world, is spending their time worried about swearing. Why is violence so accepted over in the US, but swearing or porn, oh my god! Is this a Christian influence (being its commonly described as a Christian nation)?

It is unjust, to say the very least. It wouldn't be
acceptable to a free society.

If a person wants to speak that way, let him speak that way. If he enjoys being an idiot, let him be an idiot. All there is to it.

It's totally supid. That said, cussing is actually against the law in every town. A man in minnesota was arrested and charged for dropping the F bomb a few years back when his canoe flipped over. I know another guy that whispered an insult under his breath and was charged with disorderly conduct.

There are some retarded rules on the books buried deep. If you piss a cop off enough, they go digging. Also, if the cop is some religious nutbag he'll go digging as well. Nothing we can do about it except hope that the judge is sensible.

Quote by: Halofan48 CNN article: Cussing banned in California town for the first week of March I think this is getting ridiculous. All they're doing is giving the word more power. If it's not being used in a negative way, like actually referring to a female dog if someone says bitch, or if someone says something is fucking awesome while excited. I mean, it's a few words. To do such a thing is saying that the word has a great power over these people. Anyway, what do you think?
