37. Actually I've never understood why signs with the "F**k" word can't be banned just like on radio

you can't say the 7 dirty words the FCC thinks children shouldn't hear.

Children can see signs, too, so why can't such language be banned?

I disagree with the Supreme Court's interpretation on that one.

Everyone should be entitled to voice their support of any candidate or official, but without profanity in places children could see it.
