some of those words got on the list, like CockSucker and

together of course. A little accedental humor there. The reason that W1 r' p* t: r6 |3 Y( g8 D3 x
Piss and Cunt are on the list is because a long time ago, there were* E' W% C& g8 s# j) s6 c3 a9 y6 {
certain ladies that said "Those are the 2 I am not going to say. I

stupid sentences as "Okay you fuckers, I'm going to tinckle now."9 e* Z7 c) q8 L) V0 ]! C; O- O( T

it takes to long. But I do mean that. I think the word Fuck is a very, H$ s9 O% S4 K. H' m
imprortant word. It is the beginning of life, yet it is a word we use to

"I'd rather have my son watch a film with 2 people making love. D" p) u9 V( K4 h+ U# k
than 2 people trying to kill one another. I, of course, can agree. It is

I like to take it a step further. I'd like to substitute the word Fuck for
