Its not just about the words corp, its the context in which they are used.[b said:
Me too... I have a few issues with that. I decided it would be helpful If i stopped going to bash.org and something awful in my free time.[b said:Quote[/b] (.se3ker. @ Feb. 03 2004,1:06)]good link, I was looking for something like that...def gonna bookmark it...

Holy Cow -- contrary to Hindu's belief there's nothing holy about cows. It's an expletive, plain and simple.[b said:
Aie Creumbia -- not sure of the def/history of that one...
What the Heck -- this is what the hell. they're the same thing. one is just 'sanitized' for 1950's tv
Lame -- unless you're talking about a hurt leg, then you're insulting someone/something.
No FREAKING Way! Freaking, is used in that sanitzed context again. Just replacing a word, doesn't do away with the swear word
damn -- ok, if yer talking about a beaver's building that holds back water, or similar things. Yet it's still using a God's name in vain. the same applies to Oh my goodness, and oh my...
Shut up -- this is just rude.
merde--it's a french swear word. just because it's in a different language, doesn't mean its not still a curse word.
God bless.

just seeing if you/you ppl swear on cs, reading the condumps i got, only regular ppl swore, dang.
good site zelly...that site answered yer questions better than I ever could
I don't think I've ever seen any ToJers swear in-game, but I've seen some people come very close...it's a good point to remember that even when we use half-swears, we still mean the real thing in our heads/hearts, so it's a good thing to catch ourselves on.

Good point everyone. In the Old Testament it was a sin to commit adultery, but in the New Testament just having those thoughts is the same act as adultery. I say this to show you that even though we may not curse out loud, merely thinking it is just as bad. It's a difficult thing to not do, but God's grace will help us get away from that mindset.
Also, the Bible tells us not to call our brothers a "fool". This also goes for calling them stupid, moron, idiot, and anything else that puts someone down. "But anyone who says, 'You fool!' will be in danger of the fire of hell." I believe this passage is from Matthew 5:22?
I struggle with calling people moron & idiot...God help me!

What if you call yourself an idiot? Remember still on quote

speaking as an admin, I'm usually more lenient on non-ToJ members about so-called half-swears than ToJ members, but if it's obvious that the player is bypassing the filter with any given word, i'll punish for that.[b said:Quote[/b] (Corpfox @ Feb. 03 2004,9:05)]how about O M, dangit, stupid?

That explains, why you wouldn't have been punished for OM or dangit, stupid on the other hand is another matter. That's being said to insult someone. I punish for it.

are you not still insulting someone?[b said:Quote[/b] (ToJ | Dead_Aim @ Feb. 04 2004,9:03)]What if you call yourself an idiot? Remember still on quote
Just because you are insulting yourself, does not make it any better.
