Swearing
#17
RE: Swearing
People who are offended by swearing should be grateful for the frequently sweary - we're helping to lessen the impact of said swear words, making them less shocking.

That's generally my policy around people offended by it, apart from with the cunt word, I think that's such an important part of (especially British) vocabulary i'd hate to see it's impact lessened.. it's the only word that still has the power to shock which is why I think it's important to be economical and only use it when absolutely necessary
“The larger the group, the more toxic, the more of your beauty as an individual you have to surrender for the sake of group thought. And when you suspend your individual beauty you also give up a lot of your humanity. You will do things in the name of a group that you would never do on your own. Injuring, hurting, killing, drinking are all part of it, because you've lost your identity, because you now owe your allegiance to this thing that's bigger than you are and that controls you.”  - George Carlin
