I don't swear, but I don't get offended when others swear. Words (well, swear words - I don't mean bullying words) don't hurt anyone. And nudity, while it sometimes makes me giggle, is natural. Everyone has parts, and while covering them up is practical, I think making a huge deal about how "dirty" those parts are is actually harmful psychologically.

I do not have an opinion about words and images other than graphic depictions of violence against people and animals. Intentional or accidental. Some things just cannot be unseen. That was not on the poll so I answered I don't know so I could leave this comment.

I don't want censorship. I quit using profanity some years ago, although the "S" word still slips out in times of major stress! I had rather read it in a book than hear it on TV. Seems like my eyes and brain can ignore it in a book better than on TV, for some reason.
