Just because other places are loaded with profanity doesn't mean we should have to drag ourselves to their level.

It's not "dragging ourselves to other's level"

And we're just quoting a movie. If there is one swear in an awesome quote, then it's acceptable. But we should not really swear in firearms description. Everything else should be professional.

Some of these quotes are NOT awesome. in fact some of them are kinda stupid. Can those be removed? Again, a lot of guys (esp teens) think a remotely funny joke is made hilarious with the inclusion of profanity. Believe me. The older you get, the more stupid it looks.
