I think it was George Carlin nonetheless that said people are only as intelligent as the words/language they use. Now whether or not saying 'fuck' makes you any more or less smarter I don’t know, but I do know on a personal level someone walking around saying "fuck" all the time is quiet annoying. It tells me the person lacks the ability to say anything intelligent and has to resort to saying something not even knowing its real definition. The point of using a word, which you are correct, is to express an emotion, a feeling, a definition, to describe. Curse words do not have this ability as they are made up words or words with a different meaning than what the person is using them as. (Yes I know we have made up all words). The word fuck indicates an act of intercourse. So if someone says to me "for fucks sake" my initial response is that they just said "For an act of intercourses sake" which makes absolutely no sense what so ever, and this is coming from someone with horrible grammar and smelling lol.

This is an argument I had with my girlfriend a long time ago who is a total bookworm. And of course she won cause I now see it the same as she. Ultimately it boils down to this, why does it matter what kids says? Do you want your kid walking around saying fuck you every chance they get? It’s a matter of respecting someone else, if the kid doesn’t learn what the definition of the word is he/she will use it incorrectly and possibly get himself into trouble. Does it make it right that we should put so much weight on words? No I agree we shouldn’t, we shouldn’t take them so seriously. But then of course if we didn’t then every single word I just typed made no sense and now there is no way for us to communicate because all words have just lost their meaning and now It means The, that means this, Up means down, Right means life, and Hello means fuck you.

So for the sake of being able to communicate the general language has to maintain a meaning. Or am I to walk around and just know that every time someone say fuck you or hey bitch that their just giving me a hearty hello?

For instants if I havent babbled enough..


To if the am to be cat when you the be it the mat sat to put the fuck shit my mom did the thing it yes my run sit fat.

Does that make any sense? .. .. ..

But dont get me wrong I do agree people put to much weight as I have said, and words shouldnt be able to dictate peoples emotions. But if that being true, we have offically stripped the statement "I love you" to having no meaning at all.
