Should these words be BANNED?

Words should NEVER BE BANNED.  NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER.\n\nWords are just words.  It's the racist hill-jack honky behind the words you have to worry about.

I would say no because first of all euphemism are actually words to sugar coat foul language/cursing words.For example instead of saying " f**k you" you'd say "screw you".\n\nPolitically correct is is basically the same. like the word n**ger (im black btw)is not PC...African American is...\nAnother PC word is Caucasian instead of saying white people\n\nSo technically euphemism would not be a good way to change attitude but I do believe Polittically Correct is a great way to start...it helps eliminate and cut down on descrimination against certain race,sex,gender..etc.Hope you get the idea\n\n\nNO HONEY EUPHEMISMS ARE NOT AN EFFECTIVE WAY TO CHANGE YOUR ATTITUDE....THIS IS A  TOUGH QUESTION BECAUSE SOME MAY SAY IT IS & SOME MAY DISAGREE.BUT TO IT NOT AN EFFECTIVE WAY..I SEE EUPHEMISM'S AS A WAY TO COVER UP NEGATIVE COMMENT AND FOUL LANGUAGE.dO YOU GET ME?

It's fine as long as they ban every other racial slur.\nCracker, honky, chink, spic,wetback......... Why ban just 1?

Yes, they should be banned. And any records they have set should be erased. These guys are setting examples for America's youth. All they are teaching kids is that things like that are ok as long as you don't get caught.

Yahoo bans for the most stupid of reasons.  I agree with you on the trailer trash girl with the incest issue, yuk.  If anything, that should have been banned.  I have been banned for less than that.  Maybe Yahoo only checks out questions and/or answers that someone reports as abuse is what I am thinking.  If that is true I would think that there are a million stupid questions that would or should be banned.  I'm with you on this.

actually this site has prescreened curse words and automatically puts in the astrix in place of them.  SO you have to be creative in order to say what you want.

I applaud you for finally trying to replace the vulgar word, and with the right media, like yahoo, it could reach many in some time, but you have to be patient. On account of kids today and they're love for the N word, they will try to protect it, because Bushaka is not 'cool' yet, but you made a wise decision on spreading it in "Riker's" because most 'street/gangsta' trends came from there, so it could catch fire and blow up soon. And don't be put off, by the man who answered above me, unlike him, I read the whole article and I know that Bushaka is inclusive which means anyone can use it it actually unites better than any other word. BUSHAKA, lol

No particular person decides, it's more a choice of society. Any word that comes across "valgure" is nominated. The truth is cuss words are a way of someone expressing his/her feelings, and that's freedom of speech... isn't it?

Should there be a watchdog on the web to filter out all the stuff that someone might want to be illegal?  Who gets to choose what that stuff is?\n\nYour definition of bad stuff is "cuss words and nuded people."  Mine might be racist words, or threats to individuals or groups.\n\nThere are filters for parents to use to stop this kind of information from reaching their children.  An one of any age can use them.  \n\nShould they be illegal - no.  We don't need more watchguards and big brother looking over everything we do.

perspective?\n\n      Obviously so. \n\n      Profane strictly speaking means disrespectful toward the sacred.\n\n      Obscene? \n      Some words for body parts, sexual activities, excretory functions and material are considered vulgar, and inappropriate for polite conversation.\n\n      Some words are filtered instantly. I wasn't allowed to say: don't be a pussy  (p---y). But you will I think be allowed to say penis,in this context.\n\n      It must be that someone makes a complaint: re "community guidelines", and then the judgment is made to delete something.\n\n       People who want to be censors, would tend to be strict, uptight folks. \n\n       Just work around it, dude. You can write the first letter and then put blank spaces. \n\n       F--k off, censoring mother f----ers.

I couldn't agree with you more.  I mean, have you seen some of the screen names Yahoo allows the members to have?  That alone is enough to ban my kids from this and I haven't even started on some of the questions that get posted.  And who cares about being able to report something as abuse.  In a matter of seconds, inappropriate questions have already had their effect on kids probably on the site just looking for homework help.  Horrible.  Yahoo needs to install a language monitor so if a question has certain words, it is reviewed before it is posted.
