Here at the ESF, I'm all about freedom of speech. I like to curse somewhat in my posts and say words that would shock a Bible Literalist into a fiery sermon on how I'm going to hell because of my language use.
And because I want people to read what they think they themselves can handle, I've established a ratings system, just so you know what's in a post (when applicable.)
So here are the ratings, explained thoroughly.
Unrated: For blog entries I consider that aren't eligible for ratings (ie photographic entries or personal stories).
Everyone: A blog entry that all will find unoffensive and without any language.
For 14 and Above: These entries are probably the norm and will contain some offensive material (ie race jokes, sexual orientation jokes, etc) and some language (ie d**k, piss, damn, goddamn, bitch, and oral).
For 16 and above: These entries are a standard here on the blog and will often contain offensive material and language (ie fu**, co*k, motherf*****, and sh*t).
For 18 and above: These entries are laden with offensive material and language. Reader Discretion Advised.
