Bad language and respect - mutually exclusive?

But eh, what can I say? Apparently, the first of our ancestor to leave France did so with shackles on both ankles and wrists as a deported bad arse for stealing an apple

"New York bison whom other New York bison bully, themselves bully New York bison".

Removing the classifier noun "Buffalo" (the city) further clarifies the sentence (note that the initial capital is retained as the common noun "buffalo" now starts the sentence):

"Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo."

"Bison [that other] bison bully [also] bully bison."

Sorta like 'How much wood would a wood-chuck chuck if a wood-chuck would chuck wood eh??

It is the lack of respect for other's views. I taught my kids not to swear growing up but they still do - they don't use the same prescribed words but the intent is the same. My contention is the expression of disagreement and the apparent lack of ability that people have become used to being allowed to use. Any monkey can fling their poo at someone - it takes intelligence to refute an assertion.

I think it is the other way around - people use profanity routinely in conversation. However the unspoken rule of courtesy was that you didn't write it. That has changed. The internet is anonymous so keyboard warriors abound.

The problem with profanity is it conveys strength of feeling, not information. Unfortunately some people's vocabularly is so limited they really do not have the words to explain what they think. Cuss words become the default.

Unfortunately not. It is cupcake. Or, out of respect for the intent of the original post, a fucking cupcake. With fucking sprinkles.

Ah fuck it you losers. Why do we bother! There are over 250,000 words in the English language, the richest most descriptive language ever evolved by human beings. And the average person uses.....15,000. At best.

I see. Well, of course, this is just the sort of blinkered philistine ignorance I've come to expect from you non-creative garbage. You sit there on your loathsome spotty behinds squeezing blackheads, not caring a tinker's cuss for the struggling artist. You excrement! You whining hypocritical toadies with your plasma TV sets and your Bob Charles golf clubs and your bleeding BRONZ secret handshakes. (screams) You wouldn't let me join, would you, you blackballing bastards! Well I wouldn't become a biker if you went down on your lousy stinking purulent knees and begged me.

Hmmm. 5ft redhead, rabid, jackal....sounds like my daughter. But shes still in her Teens...scary.,

You cant fit in a station? Fuck me. Jenny Craig time love, and you need to update that avatar.

But relatives in shackles - you cant be all bad after all

I don't mind the use of expletives. They are words, just like any other words and can provide colour, impact and emotion to language, whether spoken or written.

What really fucks me off, are people who censor their expletive usage, in case they offend somebody. F*cken c*nts. Anybody with half a brain, including the people who use such techniques, knows what the words are and what is meant by their usage. So why not spell them out in full? Gender-neutral soft cock morons will be the death of me. I really fucking believe that.
