    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.

    While I agree with that point, I can see the other point of view as well. Sure it's someone just being overly expressive, but imo it's unprofessional, unnecessary, and shouldn't be tolerated especially in an open-source project...especially if the goal is to attract future contributors. It's not about censorship but being professional. They can keep those whiny expletives to themselves. No, it's not worthy of a bug report, so why the f*ck don't the maintainers weed that sh*t out and everyone's happy? :laugh: :laugh:

      I agree.

      Wrong. I can express it in other more educated ways. Let's make an analogy. Your argument is "hitting the wall when you are mad is healthy because it relieves stress and so therefore, if you don't hit the wall when stressed you are worse off than someone who does." Can you see now how ridiculous your argument is? If you want to swear go ahead and swear. But don't try to pretend it makes you better than people who use their brain when confronted with stress. It's primitive and caveman-ish. When you get a little older, I imagine you might see that.

      No, that was the outcome of the scientific research. Let me simplify so that even YOU can understand; if I can relieve stress by cursing AND by hitting my cat, I have more options than if I don't curse and hit my cat.

      You are being rediculous; cursing is not the same as hitting things.

      Never claimed to be "better".

      So now you're claiming that I'm feeling superiour to you, because you cannot accept that your parents lied? :)

          You did not present any arguments whatsoever, and simpy defended your parents' view while being presented with scientific proof. I do not "discuss" this for your enjoyment, I'm merely pointing out for the casual reader that your point of view is "biased" (to be polite for a change).

              I am not. Here's some basic math; if you have more options to do something, you can do more than someone without those options.

              You didn't prove anything, you schmuck - you came with a lame analogy that makes no sense, that's not proof :D And no, you don't have to accept "scientific proof"; you are free to believe whatever "da fok" you want. Just like I'm free to ridicule it :)

                              While I agree with that point, I can see the other point of view as well. Sure it's someone just being overly expressive, but imo it's unprofessional, unnecessary, and shouldn't be tolerated especially in an open-source project...especially if the goal is to attract future contributors. It's not about censorship but being professional. They can keep those whiny expletives to themselves. No, it's not worthy of a bug report, so why the f*ck don't the maintainers weed that sh*t out and everyone's happy? :laugh: :laugh:

                              It's up to the maintainer to weed through the commits, and reject commits that violate coding standards. Yes, it's kinda puerile to swear in comments, but that's what you get with open source. A lot of the people that contribute don't see the neccesity to be "professional".

                                  I'm trying to find a company that sells live kittens that do not grow in to adults. So far, not much luck.

                                          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.
