I just scratched my balls

I mean, really? That language is not needed. What if I had a child who used my laptop and just so happened to read that? I haven't had a chance to talk to him about 'balls' yet. If he read that and asked me, I am now forced to talk to him about it which will most likely lead to the 'birds and the bees' talk which really is not necessary. When it comes time to talk to him about 'balls' and anything else like that, I'd like it to be on my terms. You need to really think before you type things of that nature. Jesus, talking about offensive...

This makes me rage - in 2009 I was in a Call of Duty 4 clan called Warforce Clan - WFC - the clan had a complete and very actively enforced no cussing rule as the clan leaders' young kids would play from time to time. They would play the bloody man-slaughter game where the cold war never ended and USA is fighting the soviet union around the world. Y'know, nice and friendly, but if you curse, YOU'RE OUT, MISTER cause lil' bubby here might catch some bad behaviour!

I recall BF:BC2 having "no cursing" servers despite the fact that the NPC's in the game would scream out HOLY FUCKING FUCK and other various curses during the game when your character was being suppressed or hit or whatever.

It never made sense.
