      Yes it does help, Zein. I started this poll/thread to see if people are offended or not by these words and if they really need to "protected" by censorship.
      I don't think we need censorship at all...but that's just my opinion.

          Peace,

          No, I'm not offended but it's not so nice to read such words many times in a sentence.

          I wish that I could speak better English and with more vocabularies than I use to.

          Why destroy a language with foul words?

          Majidah

            I've heard that song before, its good. I liked his analogy on why people are fighting the occupation.

            All information is correct to the best of my knowledge only and thus should not be taken as a fact. One should always seek knowledge and verify for themselves when possible: 17:36, 20:114, 35:28, 49:6, 58:11.

                    Peace Wakas,

                    Yeah, I don't know why some people find that hard to understand?


                    I don't think obscenity is appropriate for this forum, and certainly not in any sort of civilized debate.
                    Generally speaking, there are better ways to express oneself.

                    peace

                          "A person is known by the company he/she keeps". The word 'company' here denotes association to anything, including words and dictates a message. The message is read to reflect upon the person's behavioural patterns and to define an overall image. Personally, I see no harm in discussing the nature of vulgarity and obscene words without being directly offensive/defensive but do vision a problem in being consistent.

                              After spending years in the military (Royal Navy) I think I have probably heard every cuss word in the English language, so no it doesn't offend me. I do not use those words, not through any religious reason, but more because I just don't see a reason to use them.

                                I can think of only verse that condemns acts of cursing
                                6108

                                1. And do not insult those who call on other than God, lest they insult God out of ignorance. And We have similarly adorned for every nation their works; then to their Lord is their return and He will inform them of what they had done.

                                        Salam Shumali, i think ayat from your post is not connected with this topic u know. Propz anyway man.
                                        p1993, thanks man. Interesting. But, reading this in contest, u know, i think its about some bigger issues than just average curse words.
                                        I just think, when i use curse words, does it affects people? On some subconscious level? Thats why i ask directly about this 'nasty' words.

                                          1753 And say to My servants to speak that which is best. The devil plants animosity between them. The devil was to mankind a clear enemy.

                                          I was readin Quran today and found this ayat
