A final and unanimous justification of swearing.
by Nothing is true on January 10, 2008You do realise that society is degenerating, don't you? About a hundred years from now swearing will not be considered rude, and I personally see that as a good thing. What makes swearing rude? Sure, the concepts that swears embody are often revolting, but to the younger generation, the words often mean completely different things. Take 'crap'. 'Crap' is no longer a rude term for faeces. It means 'bad'. How can anyone find that offensive?
As for the violence and answering back, and intentionally being rude, I can't justify that. However, the only people who think copying that off TV is cool are idiots. The TV shows are taking the mickey out of those sorts of people anyway. Anyway, Catherine Tate isn't really that funny. Plus, of course, if I were to say 'faeces' or 'excrement' on television pre-watershed, no-one would bat an eyelid. Even if it were live, you wouldn't care. If, however, I were to say 'shit,' the press would go mental unless it was a recording, in which case it would be censored. And I just think, 'why?'. These are all just words. The English language is notorious for having loads of synonyms. So what makes shit and faeces different? How can you consider one word rude when the other is so normal no-one even cares if you say it on tv? They both mean solid bodily waste, so how is one despicable in polite company and the other absolutely fine? It's a load of thorough bollocks if you ask me. Surely you use the f-word all the time, and if you have kids over 10 so do they.
Politics for the day: Communism doesn't work, because people are not equal. we should be but we aren't and never will be. Unfortunately, the ideologies that work destroy lives and countries. Politics don't work. Politics is a group of men discussing how to run a country they know bugger all about.
