Aww man...there go half the posts on this subreddit! /j

That being said, I'll stand by what I've said: if you support this for kids' sake, let me remind you that your kid has probably come across at least one no-no word (either on the Internet or in the community) before they hit their 10s. Welcome to the modern era, enjoy your stay.

Most of the truly obscene license plates I see are closely accompanied by a "Fuck <insert politician name>" sticker of some sort, often more than one.

Removing them from the license plates won't do shit in that regard. That said, I'm the type of person who tries not to swear in front of kids, so take that as you will.

If you think swear words everywhere equates to idiocracy, methinks you missed the point of the movie.

Grow up. Fight against people using slurs instead of fighting against people dropping fuckin' shit everywhere they go.

Should has nothing to do with it - it causes no harm, and there are plenty of worse things I would prefer were banned.

E.g. religious themed messages.

False. it affects vulnerable people and shame on anyone doubling/tripling down on promoting it for our community. I know high schoolers who are protective of what innocence they have left and don't want to see this language on the roads, not everyone in this state is as degenerate as some in this sub.

You serious? A load of high schoolers get their no-no words from TikTok. So I'm calling r/thathappened there.

As I said, your kid has already learned "fucking shit" and similar words by the time they turn 10. So for the kids that have, they are not "vulnerable people" in that regard.

Back in the 2000s, I was taught to swear at a third-grade bully in order to get him to stop bullying. The only reason I didn't do it was because I was an anxious and terrified kid who really didn't want to get beat up. If the same thing happened today, and if I actually went through with it, the kid wouldn't be fazed in the slightest.

Swear words are here, they're being dropped, and there's hardly a thing you can do about it. There are bigger things to focus on.

Well, the state is getting rid of obscenity plates, as it should, so I don't gotta do anything. Na na na Na na, pottymouth lover.

But you'll cry if the word "fuck" is dropped anywhere in your immediate vicinity. Lmao. Grow up.

What's that old saying? "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me"? "Actions speak louder than words"? Mm.

You don't know fucking shit about me, or my maturity level, all's I know is that you're still hung up on 3rd grade bully shit, perhaps you should do the growing up. Lmao.

PS I can swear, I just don't think the state should be producing them for public consumption. And now the state agrees.

I’m adhd and my best friend is autistic, she thinks I am prob on the spectrum too. I haven’t had a professional tell me that but she’s probably right.

Let’s not use our diagnoses as a point.

Not-banning a thing and promotion are different.

And religion affects far more vulnerable people, takes their resources and harms millions. I would rather we protect our youth from cultists - but if freedom of speech protects catholics, it needs to protect Fuck.
