Cursing is just words to say out of anger. Don't know why we have to make a big deal out it. If some1 says SHUT THE FUCK UP!!! that is just telling you that the person is really angry. I don't know who made them up. Its so flipping ass stupid I dont get it!!! It's just a word with no meaning in between words that do. The words do have a meaning but when you say shut fuck up its not like you saying or mean anything by the actual meaning of the curse word, you know?

Do you agree or disagree with what I said? If you don't agree then please tell me why people get so offended.

I supose it's just the rep that some words have. I don't like it when my Dad says fuck, I don't know why I just dont like that word.
ardvark
I agree. They are just something rich white people decided were going to be vulgar expressions. They wouldn't be bad if people didn't say they were bad.

Oh I dont know if it was exactly rich white people. Think back to the old days or whatever and men were no supposed to swear around women and children. Rich or not.

Well cursing doesn't bother me at all. I don't curse, I just couldn't be bothered, but if people do around me I don't care. smile.gif

But like the topic starter said, I don't get why we need them? They really don't have any meaning and are just stuck in between words that do, so why do we say them? So yea, I don't get why people need to curse, but if they do I don't care, and I don't.

Nedra
They had some meaning once, when they originated, I suppose.

They do make sense, you know?

Fuck: as in, go touch yourself, go fuck someone else... yeah? Not something nice.

Damn: biblical I suppose. Damned to hell? "God damn you."

Asshole: Self explanitory. Saying your a sphincter.

Mofo: Saying you do your mum...

So they do make sense. You say then when you're angry generally, or trying to make a point.

I like cursing. There is not a day that goes by where I do not say at least five curse words.
**nobodylikesyou**
As a mother with young kids, all I can say is there is a time and place for them. Before it was always a time for them....Haha.
teqi
i have to admit to using curse words all the time. most of the time its to make a point. often though, especially if i hurt myself or i'm particularly pissed, every other word may be a curse word - mainly because no other word in my vocabulary adequately expresses my feelings at the time - and yeah, sadly i do have a fairly extensive vocabulary

they are only satisfying to use because society once decided they were taboo. when they were used, they appeared to give a certain "oomph" to what you were saying, the idea that "oh that person wouldn't curse if they weren't REALLY upset" as opposed to only slightly upset laugh.gif i don't think that is anywhere near as true now as it once was, but the idea is still there

I definitely wouldn't swear around children, but I swear constantly other than that. I hope the stigma with swearing never fully goes away, without it there is no strength or raw emotion in certain thoughts that would call for them.

Eh, it always slips out with me anyway.
Bryn
I curse all the time. Honestly I probably say at least 15 a day at best.

When I get mad, or hurt myself, the word fuck becomes my best friend.

To me saying screw you or fuck you have the same idea behind them. The words are the same pretty much, only one is acceptable and one is not by societies standards.

I have to say I do respect my Grandmother and try to watch my language in front of her, and don't swear in front of children.


everdays
I fucking love them.
madie
Who calls them cure words these days

But yes, I swear. Alot.

The media and general public accept the use of some words such as shit, ass, piss and bitch.
We will eventually start accepting the use of more brutal words.
The media is their own dumbass rules that allow some words to be used and reject others.

Curse words started in England during the Norman invasion from France. All the Anglo-Saxon natives had their words for having sex (fucking) and feces (shit) and other things.

The Normans, now ruling the country (and being French) had their own "upper-class" words for those things (which evolved into the socially acceptable way of saying them) and frowned upon anyone using the lower-class, Anglo-Saxon words as they were deemed inferior.

Thus it became socially unacceptable to utter words like fuck and shit. And so it remains today.

And it should stay that way. Because you need words with that power to make a point. If you use them too much, they lose power and meaning. So they should be used sparingly, only when you really need emphasis. You need to have some way to shock people.

Fisrt of all, curse words are do not exist to express anger. They can be used in casual conversation as well. Now I do agree that anyone who says "fucking" every other word sounds like an idiot, but the same goes for people who say "like" or "um" or anything else any other word.

They are words. Anyone who is offended by a word is really fucking pathetic.

Your views sound just like the moral of the South Park episode when they say shit 182 times.

Actually "fuck" was an acronym, used in colonial America and Europe, which was used to label adulterers and fornicators. It means "For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge." Which is why it's related to sex, or "fucking".
Ali
I swear alot more than I should
I try to watch my mouth in front of my elders or little kids. It usually doesnt work.
Yvonne
I dont like them. I 'try' not to use them. If I do, I know and feel bad. There's no point in using them. You can get your messges across in a more proper way also.

If others do.. Im not saying anything about it always.. Im just very aware of it and ask myself why they would use it and that its unpropiate.

joke:


There was once a sailor and a priest golfing together. The sailor hit his ball but didn't get it in the hole. He says "Fuck! I missed." The priest tells him not to say "fuck" or God will punish him. The sailor hits his ball again and misses again. Once more he says "Fuck! I missed!" The priest says "I warned you, now God is really going to punish you." They walk down the field and a lightning bolt comes down and kills the priest. The sailor looks up at the sky and hears a loud, deep voice that yells "FUCK! I MISSED!."

I swear very seldomly.
I don't particularly mind when people swear, but my estimates of them go down somewhat, depending on how they use it. Not that that means anything to anybody...

I just hate people who think they're cool when they say "fuck" every other word. It's not cool, it's pretty pathetic. I probably use a curse word once every 3 to 5 sentences, depending on the situation.

I don't think anything is wrong with curse words.
Unless its like every other word in a sentence,cause that just gets annoying after awhile.

It depens on how often you use it. If it's all the time, it's just anoing.
