[edit] When did I vandalize?

Hi, you sent me a message saying a vandalized a Columbia article? I'm not sure what you mean as I never vandalize Wikipedia. I do have an account and I certainly don't vandalize with it either. I can understand why you'd want to prevent vandalism, I hate it too, but I never vandalized any articles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.217.49.175 (talk • contribs)

In reference to User: 66.217.49.175 I'm sorry, but I don't want my computer getting blocked from Wikipedia for something I didn't do. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.217.49.175 (talk • contribs)

[edit] Short Bus

There is an objection to listing some of the slang-term equivalents of "short bus".

I agree that they are offensive and would not use them myself.

However, among them are some terms that I would not have recognized and therefor could not have objected to had I heard them used. (I had to look up Short Bus.)

Let's refrain from censoring such entries. They are useful and helpful.

An adult should be able/allowed to mouth any such offensive slang he likes if that is his opinion/feelings. If you were actually able to censor such language out of the vernacular, such persons would only repeat their mean, inconsiderate opinions in other terms just as offensive and hurtful.

On the other hand, if we prosecute Hate Speech we set a precedent whereby any talk critical of government can be prosecuted (this already happens in many countries already).

However, children who use those offensive terms should be corrected. they must be told that such language in not appropriate nor fair. I would not even hesitate to correct other people's children.

Kids can be cruel and you can't change that completely no matter how hard you try.

More fruitful would be to teach the children, especially the most vulnerable ones, that:

1) Other kids will say stupid hurtful things BUT they should not be taken seriously.

2) Remember how much it hurt you (every kid has been taunted about something) and make up your mind not to hurt others.
