watchthesky Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Yeah lol People have mentioned "mature" things which I'm assuming relates to sex and all that, but I know people who's kids are now getting taught sex education at the age of 10 in schools so generally speaking the only thing people could possibly be offended by would be swearing/cursing and I don't think that's a big deal really. Swearing is pretty much in normal conversations.. or here in the UK anyway. I know things are different in other countries though. some of the 'sexual' jokes people make could offend someone younger though just because they know what a penis is doesn't mean it won't offend them there's been talk about drinking, i'm sure drugs have been brought up too though andrew does have a point, most kids these days are already aware of all this crap doesn't mean we should flaunt it in their faces on here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hubabalou Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 I agree with Kayla. I dont use the same language I do in everyday situations or say certain things because I know there are younger people on the boards. Yes, I will say some things, but I dont go overboard. I know this sounds contrary to what I said earlier, but I dont cuss nearly as much on here because I know there are younger people. It bothers me though that I have to monitor that.

It bothers me though that I have to monitor that. yeah, same sometimes i don't really care or pay attention but most of the time i try to monitor what i'm saying that's not as much fun haha plus like i said before the majority of the board would be above the age limit anyway so it wouldn't make much different for the people already here we'd just be avoiding the younger ones when paramore explodes again and we all know that's going to happen eventually there's going to be more and more people trying to post, and i wouldn't be surprised if they gradually get younger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordypord Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Hmm..an age limit...i dunno, you know what they say...if there's grass on the pitch... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaze Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 in relation to age limit when it comes to bands, ive been a fan of my favourite band since i was about 13, so most of my friends ive made within that have all grown up now. most of us are 18 or early 20s. so it seems the fans just grow as the band grows. obviously with age comes you goto shows more your age when the young ones can't goto as many.

Blaze Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 I personally think its a matter of opinion. I mean, who can truly say what a curse word is? i believe see you next tuesday is frowned apon as a curse word! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say the site is suitable for [insert age] and if younger people come on here, then they can't complain if they see/read something they don't like cause they've been warned already.

Catie Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 BUT sh3'5 chr15t1an!!! dat5 baD1!!!1!!!! I fucking hate this stereotype.... just saying. yeah thats really not all that true. unless you are like a pastor or something. im christian (cactholic to be specific) and my family and i curse all the time and i know others who go to church every sunday who still curse. not true. this is a very common misconception Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 lol amen to that. i go to a Christian school and its a big topic between teachers if the students should be allowed to curse in class or not because the Bible never specifies what cursing is other than using the Lord's name in vain. lol sorry, i could go on about that for a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwik-silva Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 "But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne: Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King. Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black. But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil." (Mat. 5:34-37) Yeah, you guys talk bullshit and as for what cursing 'is' if you say any naughty little four letter word, would you not count that as swearing?

Catie Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 i wasnt saying we were not told we can curse im just saying it's not that big of a deal like everyone thinks it is. i went to catholic school and i used to be very involved in my church and people still cursed. it's not as big of a deal as everyone thinks it is. they world doesnt end if we curse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwik-silva Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 No, but you're saying it's a misconception that swearing is bad for a christian.. and it's not, pretty clearly you're going to hell if you do (or if you do and don't repent or whatever) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catie Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 no no no thats not what i said. yes christians arnt suppose to curse. what im saying is it's NOT THAT HUGE of a deal like everyone thinks it is. i've heard priests curse before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwik-silva Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Yes, but if you're a christian, and you curse, and therefore go to hell, I'm pretty sure that's a big deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jorgi Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 (just joining right in here with the title debate because i'm bored but cba to read the thread so some inevitable tangent i will have missed) I don't think there should be. if 9 year olds want to ramble around on the internet, their naivety is going to be ruined long before they even find out how to use google. a swear word here and there is nothing compared to what else they could find. so no.

You actually just took that passage completely out of context. By swear they mean like... "I swear I will never do blah blah blah" not cursing.
