Swearing is an indication of a lack of discipline in the mind, a mind that is prone to impulsive behaviour, and thus can’t be trusted as much as a more disciplined mind in the heat of the moment. I’d much rather be around people who don’t swear as a result.

The same goes for web pages.

In addition to that, the more we are exposed to swearing, the more we are trained to become impulsive – after working for over a year in an office where swearing is heard frequently, I now find myself sometimes swearing when I get angry – and I also get angrier more often, having lost some of my self control.

It’d be better if people were trained not to swear, not because “it’s bad”, but merely because it’s in our self interests.

This filter will serve just that purpose!

That being said, I am completely against firefox (which I use) having a curse word censor on it.

I know what some of you are saying, ‘What about the kids?’

To that, I reply, ‘Be a parent.’

It is not technology’s responsibility to safeguard you child from foul language, just like it is not television’s job to raise your child.

Or you child’s school teacher, for that matter.

You need to be a responsible parent and not allow them to watch/read/listen to/surf whatever they want. And if that means you have to miss some of your favorite tv/books/music/websites, well, that’s one of the prices of parenthood. And a cheap one at that.

Okay. That’s all.
