I don't believe it is, at times.

I don't think I've ever seen the word "jew" used here, let alone as an insult. Probably happens in the flood. idk

The world is full of mysteries, and shares too few of the answers required. An example of which, is how did I end up in the Brute Zone?

people just need to learn how to use words properly.


That is his point here.

Whoo.

Adding MORE words to the profanity filter?
What the fu- ...
How about we take some away instead?
You know, mature as a community, so we don't NEED to censor these things?

Debates are like jaw breakers; you eat away at one layer, only to find another lying beneath. Also, they cause people to choke up and die sometimes. True story.

I haven't really seen the word "Jew" used as an insult on the forums, actually now that I think about it, I don't think I've ever really even seen the word used here.


Same here.

That would then be like asking to censor just everyday words that we as people use as slang. Just because people don't use the word
properly doesn't mean you must censor it immediately.
However, I do see your reasoning OP.

You're a whore OP.

I agree. It doesn't make sense that some words are censored whereas some aren't.

If the filter could be adjusted to target certain phrases rather than individual words I believe it would be a good idea.

Until then, I would have to disagree with such a censorship.

Brainwashing, idiotic media: "hur dur, vido gaems cas vilenc n iz nt gud. dey ned 2 b baned."

Logic: Really? Then please explain how there's violence in third world countries. I guess they're all poor due to the large amount of video games they buy.

Why not use the proper term of Jewish instead?

Frankly, I'm kind of humored that such a pointless debate is still going on.

More rules are never a substitute for good rules, nor do they help enforce those that already exist. Stop whining about certain words being, or not being, on the censored list; you aren't offering any insights or solutions to whatever problem you want to believe is there.

South Park is actually an incredibly intelligent satire, however many of it's fans don't recognize this. When people use the word Jew as an insult because they saw Cartman use it on South Park, that truly shows how incredibly ignorant they really are.

I'm not saying anything about its quality. I'm saying how many people like the show who just ignorantly use "Jew" as an insult.

Personally, I don't care for the show. I watch King of the Hill, mainly. People don't realize that it's a satire (For the most part), either.

Isn't Jew actually a completely politically correct way of addressing a Jewish person? My cousins are Jewish and i work with a kid of Jewish descent and religion, and i've heard them all call themselves "Jews" before.

And also: No. We're aware that the censors are often just silly. This thread has been made dozens of times before and always with the same result. It's not that big of a deal.

  • 09.08.2011 4:16 PM PDT

Yes, I AM just that awesome.

Am I the only person who has almost never seen the word "Jew" used on the forums before?

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

Racism isn't wrong if it's funny.

Nope. As it is enough stupid words are censored.
The more censorship there is the less freedom we have, the more -blam!- PC this community becomes.

Why should a word referring to both a religion and race be banned? I mean, just because a word can be used in a derogatory manner doesn't mean that every use of it is. I can call someone a dick, but it also means Detective and is short for Richard. That doesn't make the word inherently wrong, that makes the user of the word wrong, which is why we have the report button on the forums.
