The point was that I didn't. That's why I said "don't be fucking silly".
Swearing *is* an indicator of higher intelligence and it *does* relieve stress and pain. That is backed up by science.
It's not a baseless assertion to just point out a fact... but it is baseless and fucking silly for you to suggest that I was saying that I'm a genius because I swear a lot and you're too stupid to understand my constant swearing because you don't swear enough lol. Nowhere did I say any such fucking thing
Just because swearing is a sign of higher intelligence statistically doesn't mean someone is a fucking idiot if they don't swear. But nor is there anything wrong with swearing and it is actually good for your health.
Once again, it's only as wrong as people believe it is based on nothing. Much like actual curses ala witches and black magic and the like. Superstition likewise only upsets people when they believe in it. Being hurt by so-called "bad" words that aren't bad, is much the same.
So I said "don't be fucking silly" because you made a strawman that was fucking silly
I would say that bragging that there is some correlation between swearing and intelligence is nothing but an attempt to give credulity and a positive spin to using words with offensive connotations for no actual reason, and in my exemplifying that in practicality this is entirely unsubstantiated, you might consider that this argument is highly flawed. It's not silly - what's silly is that fact that in practical application, what you're suggesting is some sort of relationship between swearing and intelligence appears ridiculous, because it is. Correlation arguments are so misleading in the first place; don't then call false correlations with no logical causal link.
You are welcome to believe that being crass indicates that you are intelligent if it makes you feel better. Understand that you're behaving without any purpose but to offend some people. To me it conveys nothing but a lack of self-discipline. I personally hold self-discipline in extraordinarily high regard.
If it's good for your health, it's because you enjoy, what, bothering some people? Emotional outbursts aren't what "good for your health" means . I wouldn't say bullying people is good for your health because it, you know, ups your self-esteem. How weak are you that you need such base support to support your health? Really. If you want to relieve stress, go for a run.
I have better things to do than pretend we're having a reasoned discussion when you're not even willing or able to communicate without infusing every sentence with vulgarity. It's not the words that bother me, it's what they say about the mindset and decision-making of the person using them. Anyways, enjoy your good health and enlightenment.
