Estuve Hooked on Neo total posts: 4107 since: Jan 2007	Aug 25, 08 at 10:30pm ^ Inconsistent Censorship
	Log in to remove this sponsored message _{I have just been watching an episode of Have I Got News For You, and in one of their quotes, bleeping was censored, yet the word shit was not. I have also noticed this is a number of places, Neo inclusive. Surely shit is just as bad (if not worse) a word as bleep, so why isn't it censored too? .::.} -------------------

	This is something I have always wondered as well. They censor retar(d)ed and fuc(k) but not shit?! They don't censor retards, but just retar(d). ------------------- We don't know who we are until we see what we can do.

	_{Actually - bleep is another one they censor, and they don't censor spastic. Which is (apparently) far worse than bleep, which only mean slow or late. .::.} -------------------

	yeah. I suppose all the French guys are insulted because their word for late's censored... but yeah. I don't find the word "shit" as offensive anymore. and you also have to remember Neoseeker's geared towards a PG-13 audience, the administration will obviously let some less graphic language slide. -------------------

Great Mate Rollin' n Scratchin' just getting started! since: Aug 2006	Aug 25, 08 at 10:37pm ^ re: Inconsistent Censorship
	I think you have a point. But - theres a different level of curse-words, in the same category as bleep..c*** etc etc. Which are far worse than most. ------------------- Saturn Bomberman is the greatest game ever made.

	_{I agree that some words are most definitely worse than others, but I just don't see why shit isn't censored whereas bleep is because, in my eyes at least, it is a word just as bad as other words which are censored. .::.} -------------------

	What I don't understand is that "ass" is not censored while "asshole" is, but only the word "hole" gets censored.

	Shit isn't nearly as bad, it's a much more common word, I need a shit, I couldn't give a shit, all sorts of shit. bleep is slightly harsher but still c--t is the only word that is kinda hard to say cause its so offensive.
