Cussing.... Oh what fun....

August 02 2006
There is much to say for my hatred of cussing... The fact that it is used sooo much for no purpose, and everyone says the same thing! What I find even more humorous, is the person actually doing the cussing! When I look around, the majority of people that I see cussing are the punks or rebels, with whom it is the fad, for this particular group (not saying that they are all alike), to be as abnormal or stray from doing the typicall thing. The absolute hillarity in this is that you see the majority of them cussing and usually saying as many words as they can! Which isn't only doing what everyone else around them is doing but even doing it more than normal! I pose a question... Why would you lower yourself to say the same words that tons of other people have used throughout their lives? And don't give me the "I only do it when I'm angry excuse... cuz you can vent using words that are harsh but still remain clean and might even be less traditional! Imagine that... Do us all a favor and expand your vocabulary... Please! I'm kinda getting annoyed!

Get off your pedestal: I've had it with this hypocritical nonsense with which you keep inundating me. I can show you so many ways in which you're wrong, least of which the fact that some more conservative people don't permit the use of seemingly "useless" words like "shutup" and "piss", both of which you use. Second of all, if you're going to target foul language on the basis of linguistic inferiority, you need to do so with grammatical errors and misspelled words. Words are dictated by denotation and connotation--not simply letter composition. The word "fuck" is no different from any other language or innuendo debasing the act of coitus to vulgar terms, except that some see the word itself as taboo in conservative circles; yet many, including yourself, have no problem referring to such by alternative means.

Hey, Randy. Listen. I agree with you on some issues, but here's the deal. Lot's of people say things that don't make sense and stuff. I only ask those who say the unabbreviated words like GD and J for no reason. Taking God's name in vain is forbidden for us in the Bible, and though coarse language is also, there is a very undefinable line there. Older generations hate it when you say "What the crap?" You just have to hope that others will respect your acceptance of different words, and maybe if you asked politely and didn't call them morans. Dude, I understand what your saying, but I don't think dissing on them will make them want to change. You know? I love you. Oh and hillarity=hilarity.

I just cuss because I like it. Honest truth. I try not to cuss around people who I know it really bothers, though. I will try to remember not to cuss around you in the future.
