There are some days where my vocabulary impresses everyone around, both with its expansive range as well as the ability to use the words accurately and to their maximum effectiveness. Unfortunately there are some days when the choice words are less posh and could be considered much more... 'street'. These words have a tendency to randomly slip into my sentence, whether i be having a conversation, doing a presentation, or even writing a fucking paper. After spending time trying to figure out why it is I do this, I stumbled across another angle; why am I trying to censor myself? One of the greatest things, in my opinion, is the right I have to my freedom of speech and I not only respect this I take it very seriously. This makes me wonder, when it comes to swearing;
What's the big fucking deal, man?
I can understand the taboo of swearing when it comes to children, but not when it applies to a real-world everyday situation; kids play [sometimes excessively] violent real life games as well as video games, watch movies rated above their age, all kinds of stuff. Kids are little sponges and tape recorders, they repeat what they hear. It does not make sense to try and censor myself if these kids are actually hearing more graphic words in greater amounts from their speakers. If you are going to put a video game such as G.o.W2 or GTA4 into their hands, and think they are not going to pick up on the language in the game, you need to realize something;
you are a fucking idiot.
Eventually I came to a single staggering idea; acceptance and conformity.This is silly, though, because we are the ones who are now filling the gaps of the society that is falling apart at the seams as the baby boomers leave the working force. For the moment though, they outnumber us AND had the hand in shaping us to what they wanted/expected which means they instilled this negative opinion of swearing. When not around them, though, have you ever noticed something: sometimes it seems strangely appropriate to swear.
Trying to make a point, or emphasize an emotion, command attention or even just as something to say; sometimes nothing says it better than a 'curse' word. It can create a sense of urgency and important when nothing else can, such as this choice phrase;
I'm really angry
This seems like it requires someones attention, but not important or that it is an issue of urgency.
I'm really fucking angry
Now this seems like it is important and needs to be dealt with.
I am not trying to say that certain words, like c*nt, are appropriate in regular conversation, but words such as fuck deserve a proper place in our general lexicon. It is used by all peoples, regardless of race, religion or class and comes up in all kinds of situations. It should be taught in schools as another way to express oneself and where it fits into conversation. Simply put, if you disagree with me, that's fine.
Go fuck yourself. :)
