Profanity
6th of August, 2007
I swear. I think it’s ridiculous that some people can be offended by simple words. If a word used in non-threatening, non-derogatory context can send you into a tizzy, you have much bigger problems. But without these people, swearing wouldn’t be nearly as useful.
I like profanity because I’m a passionate person. Using a swear word creates a more powerful and more accurate picture of how much I may like, dislike or feel about a situation.
If the words weren’t made somewhat taboo by people with an irrational fear of them they’d be no more useful for describing powerful feelings than words like ‘really’ or ‘very’. Those words fucking suck.
