Maybe we should take the same "precautions" with respect to brutality and violence words that, for some reason, we apply selectively to words concerning reproduction and bodily excretions.

M*RDER
ASS**LT
R*PE
GENOC*DE
T*RTURE

Why aren't we socially obsessed with censoring these ugly-ass words? Unlike "fuck" or "shit", these words actually represent direct harm. Of course, "fuck" and "shit" do have the unique ability to stand in for nearly any other word in the language, as well as birthing metaphors and combos in ways other words can only dream of.

Oh yeah, the little ICE shits can just fuck off, pack their shit, and get the fuck out before they fuck shit up even more.
