You know, I really don’t know why black people find it fun to call each other the n word all the time, but then get mad when someone from another race joins in. My only thought would be just like when I get together with my friends and swear all the time because it’s comfortable around them, maybe it’s the same for them. I dunno.
Yeah, not sure why I went off on the swear words. Guess I get bored and sometimes weird late at night.
I have not cussed yet.
Aw damn, it’s coming, and it’s coming hard.
Add me to that list, I’ve never cussed in my life, except for those mishaps that were metioned on the first page. You all have valid points, cuss words wouldn’t be cuss words if the weren’t…cuss words. The fact is, they are. Nothing will ever change that, and I really don’t even see the point. Saying the Lord’s name in vain is agruably the worst one. So most of Hypo’s arguements are well reasoned. That doesn’t change the fact that the “lesser” swear words D- H- and S-words are still swear words and are just as bad as the other ones. The D-word and H-word should only be spoken when in reference to the bible, as well as one that Hypo forgot to mention as one that isn’t as bad as some of the other profanity, the A-word. Speaking of which, I’ve got another word that should be a swear word and isn’t. Since I consider it a cuss word, I’ll call it the pee-word. (see what I did there?) If we say that the S-word is bad because it talks about #2, should #1 be included?
What’s all this now? Green + 12 or more complete sentences = Hypo? Clonefan is equally-if-not-more-long-winded than I am.
The aforementioned words are the mark of intellectual laziness in most cases. They’re a more refined form of primeval snarls and “I don’t like you” facial contortions and body language. If you want to really cause some emotional damage, you aim for real, personal weaknesses or deficiencies. The latter is more likely to end in the exchange of fisticuffs, but there ya go.
I love that word–fisticuffs. I have never heard/seen anybody use that word before, except for on My Gym Partner’s a Monkey, the source for which I have learned the word from.
Intellectual laziness or not, my point is that they are still cuss words,and must be taken into consideration as much as the “bigger” ones. Think of it like this: no matter the fact that your mom is a dog, no matter that you are a donkey, and no matter that everything you do is as much worth as crap, none of those things are as bad as outer darkness. To condemn someone to this fate is a fate worse than death (technically you have to die to get there), a fate no one, not even the worst serial murderer in history, nor the most power-mad terrorist in the world, could imagine a place so bad, it’s that bad. Just as we can’t imagine a place as glorious as Kolob, nor can we imagine it’s opposite, God has made us so that it is beyond our imagination. It should only be a fate to be decided by God himself, and to take upon his power is undeniably wrong. If you only use it to say “oh darn…” why not say darn instead? I defeats me that there are much better alternatives to cussing (shoot, dang, freak-to name a few) that mean the EXACT same thing as the cuss word, yet the majority of people still choose profanity. I will never be swayed on this, as there are no grounds upon which a cuss word can ever be considered okay, except on the most satanic ruins.
Another word to be considered as a cuss word: F-word, ryhmes with maggot. Heard it a couple times, but it’s not hat serious. I still don’t ever use it though. Also: to those who are offended by the religious direction this has taken, about half the words that are cuss words come directly from the bible. If that offends you, then you shouldn’t be taking the lord’s name in vain, or saying those paticular words.
Well if they mean the exact same thing, shouldn’t they be considered curses too, with the only difference being the spelling? I mean, whoever decided “freak” was an alternative to “fuck”? Or “darn” was an alternative to “damn”? Maybe it’s the other way around, we’ll never know for sure.
Anyway, I agree with you guys, to an extent. I think cursing is fine, as long as it isn’t used excessively. Honestly, one of my friends has to have one of the smallest vocabularies on the face of the Earth. I think a sentence by him goes like this: “Yeah so I was fucking walking yesterday and I fucking saw a fucking car and it was fucking red and then I fucking tripped”. I can’t count the number of times the bus driver has shouted at him and threatened to write him up all the times I sit with him.
And if you were wondering, yes, I curse. Call me unintelligent if you will for saying words, but I don’t curse every five sentences like my friend. I mean when I’m with my friends, of course I’m going to curse, because there aren’t going to be any consequences. However if I were to curse around my family, at school, etc., I could have respect lost for me or given some other form of punishment.

What are you talking about swears coming from the bible Star?
Swearing is pointless;.
Why not say,
“You shaggin piece of excrement”?

Because its not as insulting and doesn’t really release any anger. Though they didn’t use it for that reason nowadays because they say that cuss words aren’t bad.
