Cursing! For Pain Relief

[Jenny A]

Not so horribly long ago, our family enjoyed a few heart warming videos from Where the Hell is Matt? . My daughter pulled one of the videos up at a friends house and instantly got in trouble. She'd said a bad word "hell." The rather adorable, mind broadening, and surely harmless video was never watched.





*sigh*

The friend's family was, alas, evangelical christian. They're even good, kind people most of the time. And unlike some fudies I know the mother's response to Harry Potter was to read it and then declare it ok for her children's consumption.

But, "hell," hell, no apparently. It's not even clear that that's what the commandment means:

You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain

It's not clear "hell" fits in there at all. Certainly Matt Harding didn't expect anyone to send anyone there when titling "Where the Hell is Matt?"

So I'm humored to announce that swearing is good for your health.

It will lower your blood pressure and increase your pain tolerance. It may help with social bonding too.

So, why can't we heathen god damn curse?

[Jackalope]

Fuck yeah.

[Exian]

Tity booger crap!

[Minimalist]

She sounds like a moron the rest of the time.

[robvalue]

Yeah! I read somewhere that people who swear are more likely to be honest. Something like that.

It is a good way to get some frustration out.

[Tonus]

She sounds like a moron the rest of the time.

So in the thread where we learn that cursing is good for your health, Min manages not to curse. Let see some foul language, motherfucker! We don't want to lose you too soon!

[Pablo]

Cursing while throwing something seems to help too.

[The Valkyrie]

Outside of work I swear all the time.

Hell, my father has said sailors would be embarrassed by me.

[polar bear]

I was a sailor and I am not embarrassed of you Beccs

But Hell no I won't cuss anymore, fuck i just did. This no cussing things sucks balls
