Why the FUCK are we FUCKING censoring FUCKS on the internet, dammit? You can say FUCK on the internet! Jesus FUCKING christ, are we going to cater to some prudes on the internet who don't want to see a bad word?

Uh, the word being censored is obviously "frank". I'm all for using mid tier swears like "fuck', but let's not totally devolve into degeneracy.

I can't watch it, it's under my nose.

Much like Belgium is unwatchable because it's under my Rijn.

The English imitate the French language a lot, so I'd say they are worst for keeping away from France

That's not unique to the French language though. English a bit of borrowed from everywhere. Germanic, French, Latin... even Indian languages have borrowed words here.

Yeah, what I meant was more like the pronunciation, especially some English accents have more to do with French than with Scottish or Irish

As an Italian, I have no trouble understanding Spanish and reading French and Latin words in English. But listening to French and English accents is on another world to me 😅

English has more words than french because it has all the french words + their own English words

Spain has a lot of Celtic (central and north Spain are often included in the Celtic nations, although the celtic language has been lost), Germanic (Goth, Visigoth, and many other tribes), Latin, Moorish, Phoenician, and others in the mix. Maybe that is why so many Europeans like it in Spain.

Also, remember that the French invented chauvinism, which basically says " fuck you, non French"

Maybe that is why so many Europeans like it in Spain.

The weather and that it's one of the last Western countries where ACTUAL left wing (rather than liberals masquerading as left wing) politics is still considered viable on a national level might help too 🤷🏻

Is it getting to the point where we have to censor normal words too?
