Answering Questions

What qualifies as offensive? Is it just expletives or is it being sexually suggestive? Is it expressing a dislike of certain lifestyles or behaviors? I think if we all tried to not offend anyone there wouldn't be anything to say. Perhaps the internet is not the place for you.

Not exactly sure what language you mean, as all curse words are filtered out by MFP.

**** **** ***** **** *kitten*

^^^see?


*eta - hahahahah, guess not ALL of them

Hahaha! That was going to be my point as well.
Not sure which words the OP finds profane or offensive on the boards, as at least MOST of them are censored automatically. :laugh:

why does suck it up cupcake come to mind?

I find body shaming and misuse of apostrophes far more offensive than dropping Fbombs.

Klingon?

PetaQ!

buh bye

And I might add I have a friend that always says things like "that was so stinkin' cute" and it annoys the holy crap out of me.

As much as the phrase "holy crap" annoys me? I doubt that.

I'm with Stephen Fry on this one. Offense is incredibly subjective, and stating that one is offended serves no meaning or purpose. Someone could be offended by nearly any statement or behavior, which other people find completely acceptable. If there is something I personally dislike, I ignore it (if it's not actually harmful) or remove myself from the situation. No one else cares that I'm offended (nor should they), and I certainly don't care if someone is offended by my non-harmful speech or behavior. That's all there is to it. Bringing it up just attracts unnecessary drama.

OP, I'm thinking that based on the comments in this thread, things won't change. I really think you should ask myfitnesspal.com for a full refund .

HEATHEN!

hmmm..... have you never heard offensive language in your life? Skip the topics that seem to go that way, and respond to the topics that stay inoffensive.

Words are just words, they really can't hurt you. If you don't like certain language maybe you should stay away from the boards, as we are all adults here.

I certainly have, and used it. I spent over 10 years in the Royal Navy, but this is not, nor should not be, a messdeck on a frigate

Time & a place for everything

Hitting your thumb with a hammer may be reason to swear, sitting typing at a keyboard is not

Casual swearing is not adult, it is childish

but whining about the words little Timmy says is 100%adult!

I get that you think there is a time and place for everything. As do I. I swear. Rarely do I swear here, and I never swear at work, and never around my child. Those are the things I can control. Those are the things I want to do in order to present myself. It's like how I dress is my choice and how I dress for different places will change depending on the context.

But I won't try to tell or dictate how someone else speaks in order to get their point across any more than I would tell another adult how to dress.

I don't think this is in the right forum section. I have not felt any general diet or weight loss help. Please try to stick to the right forums when you are attacking people for doing things you don't like. Can we get this moved to Chit Chat?

I have definitely lost brain mass.

Just sayin'
