It's not so much being afraid of those words. More like being disgusted. Comparing something to excrement is disgusting AND offensive. It's like gore.. nobody is really afraid of gore (which is something those American horror movie makers should learn), but people hate seeing it when there's enough detail.

You do develop a tolerance for it after enough time, as with gore. But kids don't yet have a tolerance for it, so kiddie sites will try to avoid them.

I'm very good at using offensive words.

Censorship really bugs me. I don't see the point in writing 'F*ck' because everyone who reads it knows exactly what you mean. There's really no point in censoring it. I am strongly against excessive swearing (It's rather unnecessary that people use it to make their point seem stronger) but sometimes there's nothing like a well placed swear word.

 
Have you even been far as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

Just black out the word and beep it That wouldn't help either because if you followed the story you can just about fill in any offensive word you like.

The same goes for censoring all kind of things, however it does impose a visible limit on what' acceptable and what not.

Offensive words should sound right or good when pronounced and most Dutch diseases do.

About 'maarten's pipe' it can be used for more then dying only, it's just giving up on something. That something can be life or a difficult or boring task or whatever even a relationship or your facebook account.
