The English language has the largest (I think) vocabulary in the world, not including the words we make up on the fly. Not allowing a handful of those words that are found offensive by many ain't gonna hurt anyone.
but why should they have to? why do the intelligent have to tame down their thoughts just because the dull minded masses tend to missuse a few word? sure there are less shocking, less intense alternatives, but sometimes intensity is the desured effect,
