People who rely on lowbrow humor and constant swearing

ironrider11 said:How much? A bunch of words or actual "hate"? People can hate, kill, or alienate someone without ever using fancy vocabulary or some nonsensical babble. If there's interaction or communication involved, then yeah, call it "hate"... and then some. Even a hammer has weight. You could use one to build a house for the homeless... or use it to crush a skull. It’s not the hammer that’s wrong or heavy. It’s whoever decides how, when, and why to use it. And that "weight"... it's relative. It's only "heavy" to the guy who ends up looking like a nail. A chicken in a sweater isn't a hunter (the hammer) who skinned a turkey alive. And a hunter isn't defined by the hammer if you consider his grandkids... Words are—just like a curse word seems perfectly fine in a toxic environment—nothing more than a tool (first aid); they don't define the user (the hammer).

If we ban hate, will "hate speech" just magically disappear? 🤔
Not gonna happen...

I have heard countless stories where someone insulted a person's mother, and in response, that person beat them, strangled them, or even killed them. Now, are you seriously telling me there's no connection?
Even if that aggressor was going to snap regardless... the reality remains that insults act as triggers and leave a lasting mark showing exactly who you are hurting.
Sometimes it's the situation that boils over, and sometimes, it's simply the person.

I’m not making excuses for "mild" swearing, either. If you read my previous points again, you'll see: both are signs of weakness.

Even though I find myself swearing from time to time, I simply cannot agree that it constitutes a "normal" mode of expression.
If it truly were considered normal, wouldn't they be teaching us that in our American schools? Wouldn't we stop hearing those constant bleeps on network television?

I remember spending time years ago with people from a much older generation.
The absolute peak of their vocabulary when it came to profanity was a single word—one I can't quite recall at this exact moment.
Nowadays, everyone would just laugh at that word. You see, it had nothing to do with sexual connotations, nor was it a curse or anything inherently vulgar. Back then, it was just a word used to denote weakness.
The bottom line is: you can absolutely convey deep emotion without ever resorting to profanity.

The real question is how self-aware a person actually is—how aware they are of their own impact and the impression they leave on everyone else.

Societal norms are what set the rules, and not every society operates by the same standards (just like the example you gave about the elderly—a word that is hilarious to us today was considered the height of vulgarity to them).
Therefore, swearing is a perfectly normal way of expressing oneself.

Aha, so basically you want to leave an impression like a pile of garbage wrapped in cellophane?

So instead of telling someone to "go to hell," you should just control your emotions and tell them, "Please head toward that unpleasant odor."

Look, everyone makes their own choices, and I'm not disputing yours.

Wikipedia:

A profanity is an offensive word, phrase, or sentence that is not accepted within general standards of etiquette and is considered impolite and inappropriate.

That specific term used by the older generation wasn't "vulgar" or offensive in the way we think—it had nothing to do with modern cursing. It was more of an "exhaust valve" for a particular situation.

I don't think everyone needs to act all prim and proper—you know, wrapping garbage in fancy cellophane—but shouldn't we strive for some level of self-control? (You know, emotional intelligence!)
In that scenario, provocations and outbursts would be kept to an absolute minimum.

Vitalina As I was saying:
Wikipedia:

A swear word is nothing more than an offensive term, phrase, or sentence that fails to meet basic standards of social etiquette. It’s considered plain old rude and completely inappropriate.

Well, I guess I have to quote myself since apparently nobody here is actually reading with any attention to detail! 😁
Isn't that exactly what I just finished saying? Honestly, using Wikipedia as a primary source for references drives me absolutely insane, but fine... I'll swallow my pride just to keep this sluggish conversation from stalling out completely.

frozenseal55 said:You're being completely contradictory.
You claim the topic is vulgarity and assert that nobody goes without cursing. Then you say we aren't talking about things like screw you. What exactly is that supposed to be? A mild little slip-up?
Would a "heavy" curse word be something like: you're a loser? 😁

There is no such thing as "mild" or "hard" swearing. Profanity is profanity.

And are curses a normal way to express oneself? Yes, they are.
Whether they are socially acceptable depends entirely on the society you're in.
As for whether they indicate weakness or an inability to control emotions, that's a debate for individual cases. However, if you're saying that everyone has a choice in how they express their emotions, then you have a point.

Then I honestly have no idea why you even bothered putting her in a thread about profanity—especially since you didn't even bother to point out which specific word you were talking about!
Don't even bother coming back now. I’ve lost all interest because you clearly aren't capable of having a serious discussion.

They could have, or they should have... but let’s stop trying to force everyone to follow some arbitrary social standard of "emotional intelligence." If someone chooses to swear, that is their personal way of communicating. Period.
Or are you suggesting that profanity is some kind of addiction? 😁

Name one school in America that teaches kids how to swear. You can't.
Therefore, profanity isn't socially or culturally acceptable.
Just because it pops up in slang or casual everyday speech doesn't mean it aligns with our social standards.

The reason I included that specific word is quite simple: because there is always another way to express an idea without resorting to a swear word.

Oh, absolutely, it is.

Honestly, I’d much rather have kids hearing a few swear words in class than watch teachers turn them into mindless drones by forcing them to memorize facts instead of actually teaching them how to think.

That is exactly what I’ve been trying to tell you this entire time!
You’re stuck on "must" versus "should." It’s honestly pathetic when you serve people absolute garbage and then act all high and mighty because they have the nerve to call you out on it. You’re being incredibly condescendingly polite about it, too—it’s nauseating. I suppose if the presentation is served up on a silver platter at a five-star level, it somehow makes swallowing that filth a little easier to stomach. 🙄
Who cares what you want or what anyone else thinks? The only thing that actually matters is the message being sent.
Language is nothing more than a tool for communication. And let’s be clear: true knowledge isn't something you just pick up sitting in a classroom. We aren't even going to get into the weeds regarding unconventional ways of learning and passing down information, because frankly, it’s obvious.
Look, saying "a onom u Manhattan" is perfectly normal to say. Get lost. The professor just stands there for half an hour right in the middle of class, and for what? Absolutely nothing. It’s a complete waste of everyone's time.

Look, I’ve had enough. I am absolutely done arguing about this here.
Look, I’ve already laid this out for you: you have every right to use profanity if that's how you talk. Nobody is coming after you for it. But the second you start trying to police someone else's language, you're asking for trouble. Just mind your own business and everyone stays happy.

Can you even imagine someone who loves telling jokes actually trying to sanitize them just to avoid using a swear word?

It’s like when John walks into a house where you need a massive bank account just to get any action...

And just like that—out of nowhere—it hits you right in the gut! Have you ever had one of those moments where life just decides to throw a curveball when you least expect it? One second you're cruising along, and the next, boom—it’s like being struck by lightning out of a clear blue sky! It’s absolutely jarring, isn't it? 😁

Is there anything—and I mean *anything*—more iconic than the sheer, unadulterated cinematic gravity of James Bond? It’s a question I find myself pondering quite often lately! When you sit down to watch one of those classic spy thrillers, aren't you immediately swept up in that specific blend of high-stakes tension and effortless sophistication? It’s more than just a movie franchise; it’s a cultural touchstone that defines an entire genre of action! I mean, think about the meticulous attention to detail—the tailored suits, the gadgets that feel like they were plucked straight from a Silicon Valley lab, and that unmistakable sense of danger lurking behind every martini glass. Does anyone else feel that sudden surge of adrenaline when the theme music kicks in? It’s practically impossible to remain indifferent! Whether he's navigating the neon streets of Manhattan or outsmarting a villainous mastermind in some remote corner of the globe, Bond carries a certain weight that modern superheroes just can't seem to replicate. It’s that suave, calculated composure under pressure—isn't that what we all secretly aspire to? kaže:
That is exactly what I have been trying to tell you this entire time! Don't you see? That's the very point I've been driving home from the start!
So, you’re stuck on "must" versus "should"... isn't that just wonderful? It’s truly lovely how you manage to stay so incredibly poised and confident when people are essentially serving you a plate of pure garbage—and then expect you to thank them for the meal! Honestly, it’s quite a feat. I suppose if one presents such total nonsense with a five-star, Michelin-level presentation, it almost makes it easier to swallow, doesn't it? It’s much more palatable when the plating is impeccable, even if the contents are utterly revolting. 🙄
Who cares what people want—whether it’s you or someone else? Honestly! At the end of the day, the only thing that actually matters is the message being sent. Isn't that the ultimate truth?
Language is nothing more than a tool for communication—a means to an end, really. And let’s be honest: true knowledge? It isn't something you can just pick up sitting in a classroom—though we certainly won't get into the weeds here regarding unconventional methods of learning and how wisdom is actually passed down from one generation to the next!
Is saying "a onom u Manhattan" actually considered normal phrasing around here? I find myself utterly speechless—truly!—at such a blatant display of hostility. Is this really how we conduct ourselves here? Honestly, I expected a modicum of decorum, but clearly, I was asking far too much of this particular individual! To resort to such crude, unrefined language... well, it’s just disappointing, isn't it? One would hope for a civil conversation, yet here we are. Truly remarkable. Can you believe the sheer audacity? A professor—right in the middle of a lecture, in the dead center of class—just completely ignores everything? It’s absolutely baffling! Does anyone else find that level of indifference just mind-blowing? I mean, seriously, what are we even doing here if this is the standard?

Look, I’ve had enough—I am truly done with all this back-and-forth! Honestly, I just don't have the energy to keep arguing about this anymore.
As I’ve mentioned before—and I really can’t stress this enough—you have the total freedom to use whatever language you like, including profanity! No one is out here trying to police your vocabulary, right? But, on the flip side, if you don't want someone else's colorful choice of words to bother you, then you shouldn't be policing them either—simple as that! If everyone just minds their own business, wouldn't we all just be much happier?.

Because, honestly—who says I’m actually contesting anything? I’m simply suggesting that doing so is nothing more than a blatant admission of weakness!

You’re constantly nitpicking my every move—so why on earth are you acting so shocked when things get a little heated? 🙄😵

Swearing isn't classy, and it’s definitely rude to drop F-bombs when you're talking to people you don't really know. That said, it works fine as a release valve if you're just messing around in a chill setting. It gets ugly when someone loses their cool and starts hurling insults at everyone in sight. That's when things get dangerous because those words act as a catalyst for physical aggression, which shows up in how a person carries themselves. I don't really get why people link verbal outbursts so closely to physical violence, but it's pretty interesting how people instinctively reach for profanity when they snap. 🤔

Strangled them, or maybe even killed them?
Decapitated them, or maybe just ended their life? 😵

Given the way you express yourself, you might actually be better off starting to swear. 😛

No.
The true sign of weakness is your relentless insistence on this hollow theory that swearing is a sign of weakness, despite having absolutely zero evidence to back up such nonsense.

If someone’s trigger is getting cursed at—to the point where they're ready to throw hands {or even worse}--then yeah, that person is a walking hazard to everyone around them.

People are always going to talk trash. Honestly? I'd much rather deal with some foul language than someone out there stealing from me.

Yes, you read that correctly: KILL. If nothing else, they were certainly neutralized.

If you had actually read this with any actual Google, you would have realized that I stated swearing can be avoided through controlled behavior. That is my solution—my proof. It’s been tested in the real world.

So, what is your actual argument? I am still waiting... because so far, all I’ve received is circular reasoning and baseless lecturing.

By the way—if you’re planning on turning this into a personal spat, please, just bypass me entirely.

Look, you can definitely skip the swearing if you want, but I don't see any reason to judge people who don't.

I've had people go after my entire family—living or dead—and honestly? I couldn't care less. It didn't phase me one bit because I knew deep down they had a legitimate reason to be pissed off at me {so they might as well let it rip}

A curse word is just direct communication, and most of the time, there's no actual malice behind it...

I’d much rather be angry at those idiots in modern SUVs texting while they drive {now those people are actually risking their lives and everyone else's way more than someone just letting out a swear word}

Honestly, I’m struggling to wrap my head around how you can even attempt to strangle someone without actually killing them. 🤔

You totally killed me there, though—not even a tiny little insult for my ego. 👏

I love it, and honestly, my partner gets such a kick out of it too... just looking her dead in the eyes and letting out a raw, primal, "I'm about to wreck you" 😍
There’s just something so damn beautiful about a pure, unfiltered swear word like that!

The word "kill" doesn't actually appear in your post.
What on earth are you talking about?

If you had approached this with a bit more Understanding, you would have realized that my point was precisely that profanity can be bypassed through controlled behavior. That isn't just a theory of mine; it is my definitive solution. I’ve tested it myself, and it works in practice.

Did I ever actually claim that profanity was unavoidable?
It seems you’re having some genuine trouble with Understanding what you just read.
Furthermore, I fail to see any compelling reason why I would even bother myself... I conducted an inspection. So, to steer clear of what people call... They’re just plain ugly. Words.

So, what exactly is your argument? I’m still waiting for you to lay it out. So far, all I’ve received is a repetitive loop of circular reasoning and a series of unsubstantiated claims that simply don't hold any weight.

By the way, if you’re looking to turn this into a personal vendetta, please just skip me entirely. I have no interest in getting dragged into petty back-and-forth arguments.

No, we aren't going to play games like that. 🙂

You’re the one spinning a web of baseless nonsense that lacks even a shred of substance, and frankly, I’m far too old to be wasting my breath on conversations at the level of some petulant, entitled teenager.

Either back up your claims with some actual evidence, damn it. arguments Listen, if you want to continue this conversation, let’s set some ground rules first. In my view, resorting to profanity is nothing more than a glaring sign of weakness—a clear indication that someone has run out of actual arguments and lacks the vocabulary to express themselves properly. Once you can engage without the gutter language, then we can talk.

Look, I’m certainly no Branko kockica, and I am definitely not Vedran. And you can rest assured, I’m not part of whatever bubble you live in—that little sheltered circle where nobody swears and your "princess and the pea" sensitivity is met with nothing but mindless, unquestioning agreement.

In other words, we might actually be able to continue this conversation if you could stop acting like a spoiled brat and start respecting the basic rules of civil discourse.

If you aren't willing to agree to that, there’s really no point in even responding to this post.

I understood perfectly well.
Swearing is part of how you express yourself. And nobody is judging you for that—express yourself however you please.
The problem arises when you try to convince yourself, me, and everyone else that this is somehow "normal."
I'm telling you, I don't run away from profanity either; I swear, I'm no saint.
But I am fully aware—completely cognizant—that it isn't a standard way of communicating.

And we can go back and forth like this until tomorrow morning at this rate.

I don't know how old you are, and maybe for you, I am a "brat."
But I find it hilarious that a "mature gentleman" would even bother engaging in an argument with a "brat" if it's truly beneath his dignity.

What makes you so "sure" it isn't normal? Did someone just tell you that? ☕

analogviper9 said:Is that really your best argument? Seriously? 🙄

If a staff member ever spoke to me that way—honestly, I wouldn't just walk out—I’d be so compelled to tell everyone I know about them! It wouldn't even be about avoiding their food at that point; I'd practically be doing their marketing for them! Can you imagine? Such a bold move would practically guarantee word-of-mouth publicity! ☕

Kate James3 Asks:
Can you really put a price on true connection? Honestly, sometimes I think a well-placed, colorful swear word can actually be a sign of an incredibly high level of friendship and trust—it’s all about that raw openness and being unapologetically honest with one another! Don't you think?.
Is it just me, or do some people seem perfectly fine being treated a certain way by their inner circle—you know, that close-knit group of friends or their social "tribe"—to the point where they don't even register insults? It’s almost like those sharp words just slide right off them! Usually, this happens within that private, intimate bubble—that core "crew" you hang out with every weekend. Why is that? Is it true comfort, or just a total lack of boundaries?

Words don't actually carry any inherent weight on their own—they're just empty vessels, really. Their true power, their actual substance, is entirely dependent on the meaning we choose to project onto them! It all comes down to interpretation, doesn't it? Everything hinges on context.

Everything highlighted there? It’s nothing more than an excuse—purely rhetorical!
So, I could honestly just go ahead and tear you apart—maybe even pick your pockets while I'm at it—since we’re such "close friends," right?

There is a massive difference between being direct, open, and honest in a conversation—and just being a complete jerk. Just because someone decides to start hurling insults at you doesn't mean they’re suddenly "telling it like it is," right? Being abusive isn't a substitute for being truthful.

What are you even saying when you claim that words don't matter? Honestly! Do you have any idea how many people have frozen in their tracks, lost their lives, or completely withdrawn from society just because of what someone else said? I’m not even talking about profanity or crude insults here—I mean the weight of language itself. It carries a heavy burden, doesn't it?
So... it turns out that words really can carry some serious weight sometimes, don't they?

An excuse? In a context like that, you can't really call them swear words. Nobody’s actually being insulted.
Insulting someone and stealing from them aren't even in the same ballpark.

There’s a massive difference between being direct and honest versus just being an asshole. Just because someone starts throwing insults doesn't mean they're actually being truthful. Is swearing really a guarantee of sincerity? Not even close.

Sure thing.
A little swearing here and there isn't really a big deal. I'm not talking about being aggressive or making threats. Just a bit of flavor, you know? Something mild. How stupid can you be? Or? Which K do you want? Or? Man, you won't believe what just happened to me.So, we're talking about social circles. Friend groups, maybe just acquaintances.

You say words don't matter? Really? Do you have any idea how many people have frozen up, ended their lives, or completely shut everyone out because of what others said? I’m not even talking about swearing or insults here. I mean just... words. In general.
So... words really can carry weight sometimes.

Of course they don't have any inherent meaning. It’s all just about what we decide to give them.
