Cursing! For Pain Relief

Cursing! For Pain Relief
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:

Quote: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?
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

Tity booger crap!
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:

"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."

For context, this is the previous verse:

"Hi Jesus" -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.

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!
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Cursing while throwing something seems to help too.

Outside of work I swear all the time.

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