I should also point out there is also a place in thailand called h'llfire pass.

Well I don't agree with swaring in a public place, I think there's better
ways to articulate what you're saying. This list is a public place at least
I consider it to be. The problem I have is the justification of what is and
what isn't considered to be swaring.
As has already been pointed out, in the game desert strike there are such
things as hellfire missiles. But more to the point, there needs to be a
definite defined definition of what is and what isn't considered to be
swaring. I'm sorry but I don't think hell is considered to be that. I find
it personally amusing that some people think it is. The only logical reason
for that is because of religious influence. If that is so, well not
everybody on this list is religious. Now if we took every single religion
into account on this list and in developing games, we'd end up with a game
where by you couldn't say hell, couldn't have adult themes in games and you
couldn't eat bacon products. So a degree of logic has to be used here.
Whilst this is an international list and so it should be thought of as such,
equally too many people these days are oh so happy to take offence and am
sorry but I don't give credit to those people. In that sense I do absolutely
say grow up and get a life. Equally there is no need for swaring in a public
place. I certainly don't do it.
