Should Mumsnet forum users be allowed to Swear!

[cakelover14]

No offence I enjoy reading the discussions on this board but why do mums really feel the need to swear in their posts! What kind of example are we setting as mums if we can't control the use of our tongues and use language that is obscene.

Mumsnet - why is it not your policy to remove swear words from posts? saying we are all adults doesn't excuse the use of foul language! I am sure I cannot be the only mumsnet user who doesn't want to read swear words every five seconds. It makes me close a thread and stop reading what otherwise could be an interesting read.

All I can say is no wonder every time I go the playground with my kids I hear young children using foul language when parents can't even control their tongues anymore! Unfortunately I agree the world is full of people who swear but as mums should we not take the lead in setting a good example for the next generation???

Oooooo this is the perfect opportunity to show off my new cushion! Et voila!

Go fuck off if cunty words offend .

What was the theme to Malcolm in the Middle? Oh, yeah.

You're not the boss of me now
You're not the boss of me now....

I agree with the OP. It's fucking disgusting. Shit & piss this, bugger & bollocks that....I would never dream of using such foul fucking language.

This country has gawn to the dawwgs, I tell ye!

Any sign of OP? the fucking fucker's fucked off

Thank you MrsHathaway

See, OP, how fucking polite we are around here :passive aggressive head tilt:

I wasn't aware I was supposed to be setting an example on an anonymous parenting site that my kids don't read

Yeah me too. I was about to add a slightly sweaty comment to the butter thread but now realise we have some sensitive nellies in tonight, so I won't [hmmm]

That should have said sweary

ItsNotUnusualToBe Too fucking right. We are practically shitting out politeness from all orifices. Well, actually...I only ever shit out rose petals and the sun shines out of my vag but that's another thread for the cunting Health topic.

Um, we're not children.

Twat.

Ah I'm not a mum so presumably I can swear like a cunt?

Oh and I'm sure this has been pointed out but if you don't like it, feel free to fuck off

Swearing is for dim people. So no.

Oh and if you are still reading OP instead of just posting and fucking off starting a post with 'no offence' is going to get people's backs up!

HTH

James fucking Kelman won the fucking Booker prize

^^ can I get "actually" on that comment? Swearing is good for pain and stress management and high numbers of intelligent adults are sweary fuckers.
Look it up. Research is a good use of your time. Though of course, extra screentime WILL rot your brains to crap.

Oh I love the 'only dim people swear posts' - only dim people think that only dim people swear

so there

And it's less twatty than posting words like f, c etc - that's twee and fucking pathetic

Definite a GF thread - ironic eh!
Like many I only opened to enjoy the inventive swearing bound to ensue, you haven't failed MN!! Plus the delights of Mrs H's eloquency.

Thanks OP (for being emphatically wrong)

Of course you're being unreasonable.

This is one of the few places I can come and bitch about my 17 year old DD being an utter fucknugget when she's kicking off without actually saying something damaging in real life.

If MN took away the ability to swear, I'd be handing out pitchforks so we could hunt the cockwomble that spoiled it for everyone. I'm nice like that

Livia etc (Why don't you people have SHORT names?):
Oh god I am utterly crushed.

It really butters my pissflaps to read all this foul language.

I read this thread for the sole purpose of finding new material.

All hail jizz gargler.

JaimeLannister I fucking love your name btw - my favourite GoT character and a total hottie

Ooh - does referring to GoT have the potential to be offensive too as they swear on that too?

Ohhhh, look, more goading!
