All words should be banned. We obviously need to invent telepathy.

Oh My
Yes. We do. We will likely have to ban that too because people will fuck that up too. Actually lets just ban life as a whole. No problems then.
If someone wants to accuse us of eating coconut shells, then that's their business. We know what we're doing. - Achaan Chah
How would that work anyways?
"I don't know how I do it. I'm like the Mr. Bean of sex." -Drunkscriblerian
Oh My
Mass murder of everything in existence. We'd need to find all life first and devise a way to eliminate it all to the point it could never come back...so...lots of science. The best kind too. Mad science.

Exterminating all humans would be cool I guess.
In all seriousness though, I can kind of get at what Aon is saying; the words mentioned are all poorly defined and generally carry completely different connotations from person to person. More descriptive words are definitely the way to go.
Oh My
Not all human life. All life. Ever. We can't let anything live. Not even small microscopic things. Those must die too.

But without life what if the universe gets bored?

Real technologically enabled telepathy I predict will be here in a few decades or so.

INT is knowing a tomato is a fruit. WIS is knowing it doesn't belong in a fruit salad. CHA is convincing people that it does.
@Aon: But, wouldn't that screw up the cycle of reincarnation?

We kill the universe too.
^Likely. Could break it which is a good thing.

@Kink: What good would that do? Outlawing the word wouldn't make them go away.

So then what, just nothing at all? How is that even conceivable?

Aon, are you a Reaper?
Charlie Tunoku is a lover and a fighter.
Those words have great artistic value Aon, I won't let you ban them.... you evil person!
Gristknife
I'm against banning any words.
Charlie Tunoku is a lover and a fighter.
Free Speech!
Gristknife
MORE WORDS, NOT LESS!
Charlie Tunoku is a lover and a fighter.
Hallelujah! Preach the good word!
Amen!
Irregardless. Ugh.
Gristknife
The good word? Brother, I'm talking about ALL THE WORDS! ALL OF 'EM! EVERY SINGLE BLESSED ONE!
Some of 'em are ugly, some of 'em will make the first girl you ever loved look like a prize winning pig, but they're all words! We need 'em!
Can I get an AMEN?
Charlie Tunoku is a lover and a fighter.
You just know someone's going to use that word irregardless of whether or not you edit your post now.
"Tommy was eating an apple when the Devil went down to Georgia irregardless of Tommy's apple eating days"
AMEN!

Permanently Banned
I'm more in favour of outlawing certain Orwellian selections of words which dumb down debate, especially from businesses and politicians.
- "Very real"
Is "real" not real enough for you? This is doublespeak. I'm sick of hearing politicians use this every time they want the public to care about something.
- "Lessons have been learned"
The favourite line of government officials after a major screw-up. Just no, you are trying to save your own arse here and pretending that you didn't know that there was a problem in the first place.

Phrases I'm sick of hearing are
"Hello, I have a pizza for you, you ordered a pizza did you not?"
No, I did not order a pizza! Get the hell out of my life! and leave the pizza don't worry, I'll pay for it
There are words. You know them. They breed horrible discussions about what they mean and no one ever uses the same definition. We must outlaw them. First words to outlaw include:
We must work towards a day when we can finally kill language as a whole so that ambiguity will never exist again. JOIN ME. WE MUST MURDER THESE WORDS.
