that's great
Human kind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's first law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one and only truth.
yes. The bear likes that, too - please note that it proves my point. The comical effect here entirely depends on our (for example, Grandma's) considering that word "bad".
Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)
bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes
I'm not of the opinion that there isn't bad language...I think perhaps the term bad is what people maybe objecting to, rather than the concept that there is a time and place for certain words or turns of phrase.
Staying on the topic of children and swearing, I think that whether you mind your children swearing or not - or whether or not you care about minding your language infront of them, only really becomes an issue if you fail to also communicate the appropriateness of such language.
Because even as an adult, if you swear constantly and also out of context, I think people generally assume you are uncouth or even lacking in intelligence - which is a way in which I don't think anyone would want to be judged.
I think its possible to be non conformist in many ways, but with something like profanity, its hard to do it in a way that maintains your dignity...thats not quite the word I want, but y'know what I mean?
yes! i agree with you completely Lisa. profanity does make you appear ignorant and i mostly don't curse because of the perception that it gives others.... and because i have a small, cute voice and i speak very proper usually so expletives sound completely ridiculous coming out of my mouth. most people laugh when i curse... which is usually the reason i use the words :laugh:

I love it more when really cute people swear, it has more shock value!
yeah, i know if i swear around my dad he starts rolling! he thinks its the funniest thing in the world. Nigel goes "awww.." and laughs. so i just don't really do it unless i'm trying to evoke laughter.. i rarely swear if i'm genuinely mad.

obviously. Anything that makes your language poorer does. If instead of saying, "she is a very/outstandingly/spectacularly/strikingly/extraordinarily beautiful woman" one always says, "she is fucking pretty," and uses the same word and its derivatives at every opportunity, it means he is either unable or unwilling to make free verbal choice.Originally Posted by theBeamisHome

Exactly. Also, I think you have to really consider context when "bad" words are used.Yes

For example, I really, REALLY hate it when a man calls a woman "my bitch" when speaking about her. It implies she is his property and makes me want to beat the living shit out of him. Literally. The fact that any woman on the planet would put up with this behavior amazes me to no end. Some of us on this site have said it jokingly to each other, and I have no problem with that, but I also think it's real easy to tell the difference in context between the two.

I'd love to be able to swear in foreign languages!
Buddy, you think you look strong? You’re wearing a cape.
And that is precisely why we have swear words.
I can swear in German.

Fuck is my favorite swear word, although not very people I know around here know that

One of the funniest swears I ever heard before was "Jesus Joojoo Christ Jumping Around in a G-String!"
I laughed out loud because it was so bizarre!

odetta you so rock
Aww, shucks, most of what I think about this topic has already been said... so there's not much left for me to say.
I don't believe there are any words that shouldn't be said. Encouraging people to believe that words are bad just leads to people being unhappy over nothing.
There are, however, words that I just don't like. None of them are cuss words, though.
Have you heard of people with short fuses? Well, I have no fuse at all, and there's a thousand could testify to it if I hadn't stilled their tongues for good.
You can't ignore my girth.
cunt is a word that makes my skin crawl for some reason... even if its used in a physiological type meaning... it's just so vulgar

I actually like that word. It makes some of my other female friends physically cringe, but I'm not deterred
