Apparently now you can say ... "fuck" ... On TV with out the FCC knocking on your door. In short the FCC has decided as long as the word is not used to refer to sex, or to attack someone with (ie it's not directed at anyone) you can say it.

How do I feel about this? Well I use the word all I want around my friends, but I would never (while thinking) say it in front of anyone else (including my family)... I guess there is no reason for it to be on TV... However the people that are going to complain need to calm down... After all if you swear more then 3 times today your still alive... Things evolve (Plus no one would care if people said those words if people didn't make a big deal about it... If I was the President and honestly took offence some random word could you see people stop using that legit word?)

I think it's cool that they're finally allowing it.

I just think that maybe they should also allow less harsh words to be said, such as asshole, or Bullshit.
To me the word Bitch is worse than Bullshit.. but yet Bitch is already allowed, and shit, but not Bullshit.
That's alittle weird to me.

And now also the word Fuck, but as long as you're not talking about Fucking.

No... They can not use it to insult people "f***ing bitch"

It doesnt have to be an insult, but that would make it a sexual reference and it'd have to be censored anyway.

I almost always type "you're" properly

because i have a lot of online conversations (forums, email, IMs with friends from highschool who are away, etc) I actually end up using 'fucking' and 'fuckin' to mean two different things, cuz to me, they actually do have different meanings, altho i'm not quite consistent with it
