Why is it that 'liberals' are nowadays the most illiberal of people?
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.

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

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.

Exactly. :thumbsup:

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

This was my experience as well. My parents weren't atheists but were certainly not very religious. My father despised the Catholic Church for collecting tithes from poor people who could hardly feed themselves while the priests wore fine robes and the churches were full of gold plated icons and idols. As far as religion goes I was told to make up my own mind as to what I wanted to believe - so I chose to believe in Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and a god (or gods) who interfered in the world occasionally (because otherwise certain things were just too much of a stretch for coincidence) and skipped the rest of the palaver. We did go to church (Church of England) occasionally at Xmas to hear the carol singing at the special services - but otherwise we didn't bother.

In reality, it the Republiscum religious right that are the thought police on everything obscene and dirty. Just check your history and censorship. Liberals fuck up different things with their agendas - but "dirty words" are not among those things. Glancing at a foxy babe in a hot outfit may now qualify as sexual assault - but at least she can wear the outfit!

It's simple. Swearing relieves stress. But if you can't relieve stress without swearing then you have bigger problems. Simple.

No-one claimed it is the only way of relieving stress; also, someone who CAN curse will have less problems than someone who CANNOT, given all other things being equal.
