Profanity.

*Sorry for staying on topic*

Censoring profanity is pointless. The word "Fuck" is not bad or good it's the meaning behind the word that is important. In an effort to censor profanity, If we were to stop saying "fuck" and said "Darn" in its place, eventually "Darn" would be just as bad as "fuck" and would itself have to be censored.

My point exactly. Yet in my country you can be arrested and fined for swearing in a public place. You don't even need to be in a public place, merely being in the presence of two police officers is enough.

Our police get bonuses depending on how many anti-social fines they hand out. Also if you smoke and throw a cigarette butt on the street you get fined, the fines are taken straight out of your money before you even get it. I went for years, never paying fines. Now I can't avoid paying.

When the police over here beat you up it's you that get's charged with assault. A friend of mine was getting beaten by three officers and as they threw him to the floor one of his feet hit an officer in the face. Despite my friend's obvious injuries it was the officer with the tiniest of scratches that pressed charges.

The police over here get away with murder. Fuck the police.

I guess both of our countries are fucked up, just in their own ways.
Although in this country, the cameras and fingerprint scanners, are slowly creeping into our "free society" too. You know, the whole "Big brother is watching you" bullshit. (For our safety, of course).

"Fuck the police" is right!

My friend got arrested and was beaten up at the police station by a couple of Pigs. (That's what we call them here). Couldn't do anything about it. Ever since then, I despise the police. In fact, I always spit at them when I see one, can't help my self, kind of became a habit with me after that incident. They never do anything about it, they just give me dirty looks. But I suppose if it made contact with their body, I would be charged with assault.

Here's the thing about police, They're never there when you need them, they only come after the fact. In America, thats why so many people keep guns in their homes. I've called the police on 2 occasions in my 65 years, and never have I had them show up when I needed them, always after the crime was already commited, Both times were for burglarys when I wasn't home. Whenever I didn't need them, drag racing or drunk driving, they were jhonny on the spot to nail me. The police around here make around 40K a year, a respectable amount for what they do, ride around all day lookin for pot smokers and drunk drivers. But the detectives are mostly crooked, and shake down drug dealers and hookers etc. There's always a scandal of sorts going on in the police dept. About three years ago a couple of them got caught doing a drive by on some drug dealers. (I guess they didn't pay) I think they got a couple of years! My philosophy on cops-Avoid them!

I never call the police when I'm in trouble... I know people do... but it just goes against my principles.

Never say never I suppose, but I honestly know that I'll never have a need to call the police. Of course this opens the door to certain crimes where it would be obvious I'd have to call the police. These are very few. I've never called the police in my life.

I called them once. My home was broken into by burglars, ransacked and left with a lot of furniture ruined. Like The Dankster said, the police are after-the-fact. Those assholes are very lucky I didn't walk in while the burglery was in process. Turned out to be a couple of teenagers from the neighborhood. I wouldn't have been sane enough to determine age, I'm afraid.

Thats real original V, just like all your posts, you copy someone elses stuff. then go on to say exactly what I said in my last post, they're never there when you need one, always after the fact. Almost verbatum. Be original or go away! I'm tired of your second hand news!

I've got two words for ya Med ... and it ain't happy birthday.

I agree completely with skunk. It goes against my principles to call the cops for help. There are of course exceptions to every rule, but generally I don't want the cops involved.

Avoid with all possible abundance!

damn im gonna go way off topic of profanity and talk about the cops what i dont see is why the fuck anyone calls the police like when i was a kid i would get fucked shit late at night and trash government property cause the government makes me pay for stupid shit so fuck them and now i see kids doing the same thing i dont ever call the cops the only thing i would ever do would be to walk outside with a bat and hand it to them so they can fuck up some more shit. I think the only people who call the cops for pointless shit like smoking weed, partying, etc.. is people who were young who had no friends and were made to believe if you step out of line your going to hell and your gonna feel the pain and suffering. or theres always those lil dicks who are just lil bitches who think its fun to snitch. and those people just need to take some time out picture themeselves in our body and say damn i bet u thats fun as fuck lemme run to the ABC store get shit faced and party. if they actually did that there would be no cops for stupid pity shit.

At least he's started using punctuation...

Oggunna that was f*****g funny...

haha damn im sorry like my signature says weed doesnt make you stupid it just makes you care less and i could give a fuck less about puncuation maybe thats why i cant get a job... but o well and damn i am a crazy motha fucka FUCK THE GOVERNMENT do anything you can to piss them off and make them work harder is my theory

What Government are we talking about fucking here? And if you can't get a Job, are you living off the government or your parents, or are you a criminal? Maybe you should take some responsibility for you, and maybe things would get better for you and you could have a life beyond Stone city. Just my opinion!

You're actually trying to get a job?

I've worked before, cash in hand, usually a bit of hard labour during the summer months as it keeps me fit, i get a nice tan, and I get paid for it. This is the first year I haven't done it. I'm nearly on my third kid in three years, kids take looking after, luckily I have other incomes so i really don't need to work.

I actually do not live off the government or my parents and me not being able to get a job was just a joke. So me working in sort of living off the government but im busting my ass everyday.

actually, i don't really know george carlin. I did, however, meet his niece. She worked in a heath-food store that i used to frequent. She told me that carlin was just as nuts around the family as he is on stage. The man is insane ... In a good way. I particularly liked his take on the catholic church. That was some funny stuff.
