People I don't think that swearing is bad it's just the context. I mean if someone worked their hardest on something like a meal and the person thought is was awsome, then some one comes along and says it tastes like sh*t thats horrable. But if some one goes to a fastfood place that they know sucks but it's good for the money and they say THAT tastes like sh*t people can laugh all they want as long as no one is offended.

You can persuade me all you want but I won't respond. You're not going to do this on all the threads, are you? Well, you shouldn't be responding because i'm suppose to be doing the talking. Ignore me if you want, but i'm only doing what I can to help over what *is* an important matter, so quit making fun. This is the swearing thread afterall, so i'll keep it limited to the swearing thread.

No, i'm telling people not to use words such as ****, because:
Swearing Imposes a Personal Penalty It gives a bad impression It makes you unpleasant to be with It endangers your relationships It's a tool for whiners and complainers It reduces respect people have for you It shows you don't have control It's a sign of a bad attitude It discloses a lack of character It's immature It reflects ignorance It sets a bad example
Swearing is Bad for Society It contributes to the decline of civility It represents the dumbing down of America It offends more people than you think It makes others uncomfortable It is disrespectful of others It turns discussions into arguments It can be a sign of hostility It can lead to violence
Swearing corrupts the English language It's abrasive, lazy language It doesn't communicate clearly It neglects more meaningful words It lacks imagination It has lost its effectiveness

You didn't write it, but you did choose to post it. That was just a gentle reminder that no one is blameless. Yeah, I found it here: www.cusscontrol.com/swearing.htmlNo, there's something I need to remind you. Remember when I said I care more about the good of the world than these forums? It's OK. We're done discussing it. I don't care, I understand.

I'm curious as to how this guy that Mantis is exhaustively quoting would have a living in the 1600's before the birth of the modern 'cuss' word.

SkullFarmer I think he would have found another way to whine and complain about society, perhaps calling every one who could add double digit numbers a witch. While I'm on that subject www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ru7Ds2FZpVk The first part I beleive but the second about Harry potter, every chemist every doctor every architect every one who has a blackberry,stove,hairdrier,sound system even records whold all have been stoned. Now I'm catholic I went to a chrch camp loved it loved the word, I just don't like how she phrases stuff it makes all christans sound like extremeists "army of god". Now if she phrased it as "children of god" that would be good. If I said that to her face she problebly would get going like "Your aginst God ,devil, devil.
