Profanity?

[rainmaker]

I agree with 12248 that it's excessive. But if it was already in the rules that way, the kid doesn't have a let to stand on legally.

I disagree with Rut that if I'm not a Christian, saying the Lord's name as an expression of anger isn't offensive to me. I am Caucasian, but I am offended if anyone uses the N word, not because I am Amrican-American, but because of what it shows about the person who said it.

Also, note that many missionaries have observed that the words, "Jesus Christ" aren't used as profanity until the concepts and ideas and stories of Christianity are introduced. It isn't just a random word, like "Oshibibble" or something. It has meaning, and the people that use it as profanity use it with meaning. The disrespect that is reflected is what I find offensive.
