Curse Words (2005)

sikoholickkouboi · 01-26-2005, 09:20 AM

Curse words. Are they one of the dumbest social conventions around today or what? I mean these certain words that you are not supposed to say because they are "dirty". And who decides which words are dirty? Is there some kinda committee of old Conservative Republican Christians? It could spread around that "cornbread" is a dirty word and within a year's time, the sheepish moral majority and some old bluehairs would be all uppity whenever they heard someone use it just in a f***ing casual as h*ll sentence. "Haha, yeeaah, let me see some cornbread, girl". "Well, I never". The Japanese have no such concept and actually find this amusing when learning our language. And the FCC? A board who decides what it's safe for us to f***ing hear? Gimme a break. Unfortunately, I wouldn't want my kid to get a lot of trouble and heat for this, so obviously I would discourage it from him for that reason alone, as long as I lived the states. And that's IF I were to become a father, which is right at the bottom of my to do list below Chinese Water Torture.

Your characterization of "Conservative Republican Christians" being the only advocates of censorship is outright wrong. Censorship usually crosses all political lines, as it draws support from most in our government. There's nothing wrong with the system now.

Yes, I know. I've just had more bad experiences with Conservative Christians. My bad about singling them out. But, how do you mean nothing's wrong with this system?

The system is fine the way it is. The target group here is young kids, that's who we are attempting to "protect" from violent words, etc. Whether or not we are doing a good job is almost irrelevant, considering the kids are gonna learn these words eventually anyhow. It's 2005, I think most people probably don't care as much as they used to about specific words, but rather phrases that suggest criminal activity or that are sexually explicit. But, you said you don't live in the states right? Maybe it's a different system where you are from?

But you can say things that technically mean the same exact thing and it's no big deal? WE MADE these words to do all that. I admitted because I wouldn't want my kids to get in trouble, I wouldn't support it. If we lived in a society (like Japan) that didn't have these nonsense "naughty word" rules, I would not give a f**k what my kid said. Just because you have a kid and have ta worry about it, doesn't mean you have ta agree that this isn't stupid. Like I said, a few other cultures laugh at this.

btw, if I curse a little, I'm not trying to sound angry. It's just the way I talk on a regular basis.
