Why So Angry?
#11
RE: Why So Angry?
I swear often, not because I'm worked up but because it's become part of standard vocabulary for me. Sometimes I use it to show emphasis, other times to add a little of my odd style of humor into a phraise.

The only time I can think of I actually got somewhat worked up recently was when I started talking to Anto Kennedy, he was blind as a retarded ferret and couldn't understand the most simple of sentences it seemed. There were specific things I said he assumed i meant the exact opposite of what I said and decided that because of that I was a horrible person that sought to break up families in my crusade against religion.

Because you know, sharing a bite to eat with the local pastor after visiting them Sunday and listening to his take on controversial verses quietly is such a crusade. That's totally why they invite me back and tell me I'm welcome anytime.

Anyways that is all beside the point, I just wanted to explain a bit so it wasn't me just fireing off a shot at Anto and moving on. The reason I got so worked up was completely my fault, I logged on when I was underslept, I was tired and grumpy from the getgo. Should never post when in a bad mood it never ends well.

And what has swearing to do with rationality?

I have no idea what swearing has to do with rationality. I think it's funny how people assume that those who swear often are ignorant. I can see that assumption if you are swearing AND you aren't pronouncing words right. Like those people who use that "ghetto slang" ebonics crap or rednecks around where I live that "tawk leik theis". I swear almost every time my mouth opens.

I fucking love swearing, it's fucking brilliant.

And I'm with Stephen Fry on the matter that it's not a sign of weak vocabulary. And more:

(Posted here since I believe it to be relevant to the topic, on the matter of the swearing part).

Is that guy British? Brits seem to swear a lot and I find them comical when they do.

Yeah tho' that's not a typical British accent - he's a bit 'BBC' - tho' we don't hold that against him. He's very cool. True snobs can swear and it doesn't sound like it.

He's very cool indeed, I find the youtube vid 'A discussion of language', that has two language discussion sketches from A Bit of Fry and Laurie, with him and Hugh Laurie, to be both hilarious and contain brilliant usage of language. Along with the 'Haircut' sketch.

It's indeed not a typical accent whatsoever. And the typical British accents vary over Britain depending on the regions of course. I used to find it a bit annoying when some Americans would think that we 'Brits' all talked like that. I can't believe I found that annoying. Now I find it hilarious and actually quite like it :p It's entertaining for me lol.

That said I think the kind of swearing you see typically associated with Chavs, whilst not proof of stupidity, does rather tend to lead one towards the conclusion that they are lacking a degree of linguistic ability.

I agree, but to make assumptions because of it, can also be a possible indication of stupidity of some form, so it's also important to not make assumptions of course.

I mean to believe that someone's a chav just because they swear, is fucking lunatic as Stephen Fry puts it, not everyone who swears is a chav. If only you took Stephen Fry alone as this clear example of a non-chav that swears!
