The "bitch" word comes from Mighty Avengers 25 , which is an A title. What's really funny is that T+ or Parental Advisory titles seem to have more censorship that the A books. In a T+ book like Daredevil you get "son of a @*%$" all the time , you never get to read a proper "son of a bitch" .

Arc, I have also noticed that some T+ rated books have had language censored. However, there have been T+ and Parental Advisory rated books that have contained that kind of language (as well as on panel gory graphic violence). For example, Captain America #600 (which was touted to the mainstream media by Marvel as being some kind of mega event) had the phrase "son of a bitch" uncensored used in that issue 3 times on the same page.

Yep, I agree that there's too much Grim and Gritty in comics!

That means that different people are in charge of censoring bad words in T+ titles. And thus the result is a bit chaotic .

Wow. I have a theory, too, and, like yours, it's based on nothing but bullshit I've read on the internet (written by you, as it happens):

You're an idiot.

And I say that AS a Jew.

XXOOXX

Mr. Kupperberg, I was taught at this school

late 80's that Hitler's grandmother was Jewish and that it made Hitler a Jew. And the teacher was also the headmaster of the school. It's the school where the royal family send there kids and the king went there as well. The teacher had written almost all major educational books for kids and adolescents in Sweden. I believed that when he stood there in fromt of 40-50 percent Jews that it was true. And it turned out that it was not true.

I do not believe that it was an isolated event by one maniac. I have heard it from other sources. But this source I thought was the most credible, when I heard it from the teacher it became "true".

I've heard the Earth is flat from several sources - some dating back thousands of years!

There is absolutely no difference between the Spartans and the Nazis. Please explain to me how a completely undemocratic group of people who keep an entire sub-culture of slaves, which they hunt and ritually abuse, who make war on everyone around them, including their fellow Greeks, who have bizarre notions of military and racial supremacy, including killing their infants if they're not up to the racial ideal, are any different from the Nazis.

Um, that is how they're different. The Nazis didn't do any of that.

Is it a trick question?

IMP.

Did you type that with a straight face?

Parts that apply to the Nazis highlighted for your reading pleasure:
