    Someone submitted a bug report for OpenJDK. Well it's not really a bug report - it's a complaint about profanity (they claim 12 instances) in the code comments. I don't personally put profanity in comments, but it's an open-source project, and since people a lot younger than me are contributors, I'm sure their sense of professionalism has not been as finely tuned as mine, and they're apt to let slip the occasional "f*ck" here and there. It's certainly not worthy of a bug report, nor a response from the maintainers. F*ckin liberals ruin everything. Despite what anyone might think, coders don't need to be protected from occasional profanity in code comments.

      People who can't handle profanity certainly can't handle coding and should keep their dirty paws away from the sourcecode.

            I can't find anything that doesn't suggests that Conservatives, not Liberals, have championed every effort in US history that was attempting to censor curse words from some media or public forum. Can you provide an example of Liberals doing that? Not to mention as well that it appears that Liberals are more likely to be the ones actually doing the swearing.

                I did, and she said profanity was healthy. It helps to relieve stress, and, if you ever code you'll know how a fuck here and there is completely valid. Science Says Swearing Is Good For You[^] If you can't handle the heat, get the fuck out of my kitchen :)

                  From my own experience, in the UK, I used to be very much a liberal. However what seems to have happened is that people on the left have moved further left which has meant that those of us who don't move to the left are sometimes considered to be far-right. I wanted to check my own views so I took The Political Compass Test[^] and to my surprise it turns out that I am just right of the vertical centre line and a little below the horizontal centre line towards libertarian. I then took the test answering the questions in the manner that I imagine a friend of mine, who has views that are fairly popular in the prevailing political climate, would and interestingly enough it turned out that it resulted in a rather far left result. So I don't think the word liberal can be used very much nowadays because those of us who are liberal are seen as being far-right as more people have moved further to the left.

                        I used to be a liberal Democrat, and then I woke up one day and realized that the Democratic party that I once loved, was no more. It is now a super far left progressive/socialist party, really. It's a hi-bred hodge-podge of pure human excrement.

                              Profanity against its own religion. They don't care of profanity to other religions. There are numerous examples of that throughout human history, from every religion.

                                Many people now make a distinction between "classical liberal" and "liberal" for just the reasons you highlight. I think Bill Maher does this too. He frequently calls out liberals for their lack of tolerance, whilst identifying himself as a classic liberal.

                                "There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. The first method is far more difficult." - C.A.R. Hoare Home | LinkedIn | Google+ | Twitter

                                  That's because liberal doesn't mean what a lot of people think it means.

                                    That's inconceivable.

                                      It has been my experience that the religious conservative right is usually against profanity, and not so much the liberals.

                                      I don't know that religion really has much to do with it. I grew up very religious. I was taught not to swear, but not because religion taught not to, but because swearing reflected your maturity level and ability to form a sentence.

                                        Someone submitted a bug report for OpenJDK. Well it's not really a bug report - it's a complaint about profanity (they claim 12 instances) in the code comments. I don't personally put profanity in comments, but it's an open-source project, and since people a lot younger than me are contributors, I'm sure their sense of professionalism has not been as finely tuned as mine, and they're apt to let slip the occasional "f*ck" here and there. It's certainly not worthy of a bug report, nor a response from the maintainers. F*ckin liberals ruin everything. Despite what anyone might think, coders don't need to be protected from occasional profanity in code comments.

                                        I do. I am very sensitive. :-O But if it's open source, can't they edit out the comments themselves? Of course someone would figure it out and then go back and put even more in. Either way, sounds like a losing battle.

                                          Profanity is contingent on a religious foundation. It's an old-timey version of microaggressions and intersectional politics. If nothing is divine, nothing is profane.
