I've always been taught that curse words are for showing extreme emotion, like you might say 'darn' if you screw up, 'dang' if you screw up worse, and 'damn' if you've done something really bad. But the casual use of curse words has taken away that effect to the point that I've actually heard people say "fuckin'..." during a pause between sentences where an "um..." would normally go.
The fact that curse words are 'forbidden' makes them have more impact when someone finally uses one. But now there isn't much impact, so it's harder to imply "I'm really serious right now", especially since now people are less likely to take people seriously when they curse than if they used proper language.
The reason swear words are so awful is because of people like this who only add to their taboo-ness! Is that so hard to fucking understand? Fuck!
Jesus Fucking Christ, Jakey. You forgot about the cunting context. Saying shit as a general word doesn't do shit. Now, call some cunt or other a piece of shit, or something they're fucking proud of shit and they'll bawl like a soppy little cunt.
I think that one day, many years from now, that little kid is going to become incredibly embarrassed and ashamed of how much of a douche he used to be.
These people are a bunch of fucking morons. I just read their member stories that are meant to convince us that 'cussing' is bad. But all they are a re a bunch of stories about people in public, hearing other people swear and becoming offended and making assumptions about the swearer. Saying that cursing is bad because we know people that think it's bad is not a reason. The first story about the guy seeing Shamu pissed me off. He made an assumption about the man, based on his appearance and language, and maintained that assumption as if it were truth throughout his story. Yes, I'm one of the first people to point out that stereotyping is a very basic very important survival instinct. But to assume that the mere act of politely asking someone to not curse so much will be responded to with violence is just stupid. Yes, if you go to him and talk down to him, asking him to not be so "offensive", I can certainly see the other man becoming aggressive. but nobody's gonna start a brawl at Sea World with their 4-year-old daughter right there if you politely and respectfully ask them not to curse so much or so loudly.
My whole issue with all of those member stories is the elitism. Americans don't realize how fucking good their life is. Oh boo hoo, you were at Sea World watching Shamu, and some mean looking guy with tattoos was swearing! Jesus tap dancing Christ, your life must be hard! Woe is you for such a detestable lifestyle you must trudge through every day!
Innocent people killed by suicide bombers in the middle east, starving children in Africa, politically repressed peoples of countries like North Korea and Burma, and people dying of AIDS in underdeveloped nations can not even fathom the torment of the poor American who has to listen to bad language at theme parks and sporting events.
I don’t have much of a problem if someone swears because they messed up or they got hurt or something like that, but I don’t like it when people swear AT someone
With 11-foot arms, a shoulder span of nearly 8 feet and a height of 12 feet, the Canadian Space Agency's Dextre - short for dexterous and pronounced like Dexter - is more than a little intimidating, at least for astronaut Garrett Reisman.
"Now I wouldn't go as far to say that we're worried it's going to go run amok and take over the space station or turn evil or anything because we all know how it's operated and it doesn't have a lot of its own intelligence," Reisman told The Associated Press last week.
"But I'll tell you something ... He's enormous and to see him with his giant arms, it is a little scary. It's a little monstrous, it is."

WARSAW (AFP) - Poland should not adopt online voting because the Internet is the preserve of beer-swilling youths with a penchant for pornography, the former prime minister said on Wednesday.
"I am not enthusiastic about the idea of a youngster sitting at his computer, watching videos and porn, slugging on a beer bottle and voting whenever he feels like it," Jaroslaw Kaczynski said in an interview published -- ironically -- on the website of his conservative Law and Justice party.
Poland has regularly faced low election turnout rates since the advent of democracy when the communist bloc collapsed in 1989.
The national ombudsman has suggested Warsaw follow the lead of regional neighbours such as Estonia, which has used online voting to encourage greater participation.
But Kaczynski, who was swept out of office in a snap election last October and is now leader of the opposition, suggested that Internet users were too easily swayed by what they read online.
They are "the easiest group to manipulate, and to suggest who they should vote for," he said.
Young and urban voters -- considered typical Internet users in many countries -- swung solidly behind the Civic Platform which won last year's election, when the Web was a major campaign tool for the liberals.
Analysts said a weak Internet presence contributed to Law and Justice's defeat after two years in office. The party has since been looking to spruce up its image, and, despite his comments, Kaczynski has not been entirely Internet-shy.
In December, he launched a videoblog, saying it was "a good way to meet people" and that he planned to use it around three times a month to express his views.
Why does everyone hate porn? As soon as you pull the Jesus out of your ass you'll realize it's just consenting adults doing what consenting adults like to do, all so you can have some consenting fun with yourself because you can't find a consenting adult to consent with.
Well, I cannot argue with porn, and whatever happened to your conesenting person Serephel? By the way, what is your real name so I do not have to call you by your screen name? But yes, tangent aside, I love beer also.

Could we be seeing the start of Libertarian tendencies?
I'm just saying that there are times in our lives when we do not have consenting adults to consent with, and those are the times in which porn is nice. Also known as a dry streak.
A TOWN in South America is living in fear after several sightings of a 'creepy gnome' that locals claim stalks the streets at night.
The midget - which wears a pointy hat and has a distinctive sideways walk - was caught on video last week by a terrified group of youngsters.
Teenager Jose Alvarez - who filmed the gnome - yesterday told national newspaper El Tribuno that they caught the creature while larking about in their hometown of General Guemes, in the province of Salta, Argentina.
He said: “We were chatting about our last fishing trip. It was one in the morning.
“I began to film a bit with my mobile phone while the others were chatting and joking.
"Suddenly we heard something - a weird noise as if someone was throwing stones.
"We looked to one side and saw that the grass was moving. To begin with we thought it was a dog but when we saw this gnome-like figure begin to emerge we were really afraid."
Jose added that other locals had come forward to say they had spotted the gnome.
He said: “This is no joke. We are still afraid to go out - just like everyone else in the neighbourhood now.
"One of my friends was so scared after seeing that thing that we had to take him to the hospital.”
