Swearing is completely unnecessary. Its not free-speech. Its not expressionism. Its completely rude and uncalled for.

One of them being " thou shall not curse( something like that

I would imagine back then that curse was more "witches and demons" than dropping the f-bomb

Let me jump in instead? Maybe words that have a double meaning?

I already went over most of those a few pages back..I'll do some of yours as well with more explanation

Cracker - Term coined by black people to counter the n-word. Crackers are mostly white (saltine crackers, for example). Pretty weak phrase..not a swear or curse word, however

Nazi - Not a swear/curse word. Used incorrectly when tried to be used as such as well..used to say one person is overly strict

Q word for homosexuals - Like you pointed out...means strange/weird. How many people view homosexuality (they shouldn't..but oh well)

G word to call homosexuals - Happy/joyful. Man..what a bad word..

So once again, reiteration...normal words that have been given negative connotation

Swearing is completely unnecessary. Its not free-speech. Its not expressionism. Its completely rude and uncalled for.

Read the thread

There are better examples, but here's a simple one: "You're a fool who'll never about to anything."

Sorry. "About" should be "amount."

@Rayoflight

I see what you mean now... Thanks you for the clarification!

Kids need to learn their language well enough so that the word "****ing" won't be their favorite gerund.

Well, if you banned someone's right to swear, that would be infringement of free speech. I don't give a **** if you think swearing's childish, it's the way I speak and the way 90% of this world speaks. You'll just have to get used to it.

Its not expressionism.

Well, in the English language maybe. In Serbian, we have an entire book, written by the man that made the Serbian language as it is today, comprising of only offensive phrases/songs/words. The book's as thick as the Bible. So, yea, not every language is the same

Did you know there are words in the US that seem inoccient but take on a whole other meaning in other coutries....

ex-

Bloody- in England this is cosidered a cuss word. Now you know why they say bloody Hell in Harry Potter

Stuff- in New Zealand this is equal to a F bomb. I wonder what they call a stuffed turkey or stuffing during Thanksgiving.

So really a word is only bad dependinding on the culture.

Maybe you should care what other people think. You know you doesn't care about what other people think? Honey Boo Boo and Crew, Octomom, and the likes of Lindsay Lohan. Do I need to continue the list? Do I need to explain the hot mess that they are? Or do the names credit themselves?
So if you don't want to appear as a selfish slob to everyone you meet you'll consider some proper manners. Or, if you really feel compelled to swear so much, I can only assume your parents failed you in how to act like a functioning member of society.

Actually, its not 90% of the way the world speaks. Maybe in the ghetto's and podunks, they swear each and every other word but generally the world is pretty decent about it. At least those that value literacy and intelligent conversations/interaction with others in the human race.

Do you know this for a fact? Or are you basing it off of that phrase? Because the word bloody itself has the same meaning there as it does here...the use of bloody hell most likely has to do with the idea of making hell also bloody..adding more expression to the phrase (oh ****..see what I did there? expression)

Maybe you should care what other people think. You know you doesn't care about what other people think? Honey Boo Boo and Crew, Octomom, and the likes of Lindsay Lohan. Do I need to continue the list?

Jesus, Galileo, Martin Luther (religious figure), Martin Luther King Jr. (black figure), Lincoln, Dawkins, Mark Buerhle, Michael Jordan...to name a very few. So yes, you do need to continue that list. Because not caring can also be very beneficial

Hi, I very much enjoy and value literacy and intelligent conversation. I have been labeled extremely intelligent, aced the ACT on my first time without a calculator, can skim a college level book and then lead my class in discussions over the book and the figurative language and devices used in it, and I have I am in the top 1% of my school & top 5-3% of country according to some standardized test (tested multiple subjects, hence my range in country statistic). I also enjoy my free usage of swearing
