It's about ****ing time. The word has 100 usages and about 3 of them
refer to sex.

F.C.C. Ruling Could Allow Use Of "F-word" On T.V.
By Jon Hanian BOISE -

In broadcasting, dropping the so called "F-bomb" goes
over like an H-bomb. But the FCC has now ruled that
the use of the "F-word" by U-2 frontman "Bono" at
the Golden Globe awards **did not** violate federal
indecency rules.

It's crude, and maybe vulgar in context, but I've heard and viewed
worse on BC TV. The F word can be heard on any street an any time of
day and even in primary schools and even nursery schools.

Its too common to stamp out of the english language. Might as well
loosen the restriction and play up the non-vulgar non-sexual usages of
the word.

It's funny how everybody pretends to be shocked when they hear it over
and over all the4 i\time in real life.

I ****ing hate to follow up a non-ham-radio posting on a ****ing ham
radio newsgroup, but (groups trimmed) this really ****ing *is* about ham
radio. I use that particular word in casual conversation more often
than I did 20 years ago. I do, however, keep it G-rated on the air, by
personal ****ing preference.

I don't think I ever use that word to "describe sexual or excretory
organs and activities". There are actually much better words for that,
and in fact, many of them are patently non-offensive.

"Come" is a good example. "Blow" is another. "Dick" is a man's name.
My grandmother, for example, uses those words in a non-offensive context
all the time.

The only time she says "****" is when the woman next to her yells "BINGO".
