Obscenities are words, phrases, or actions that are not considered polite. They usually deal with sexual connotations and are not allowed on most web sites. Use of obscenities in some situations can lead to fines and even jail time.

The word obscene originally dealt with scenes, or things that could be seen. It now has a wider connotation and can mean some situation that we find disgusting or simply unacceptable to intelligent humans, such as the way the governments of developed nations, because of political or trading relationships, do so little to help starving refugees, or the supply of pharmaceuticals to third world people or to stop the exploitation of children. One may find war obscene, because most wars are not inevitable, but stem from greed and abuse of privilege.
