Why are you rude?

[ignoramus]

I think I'm pretty polite on the whole. I give people a fair shake. Only once they've shown themselves to be beyond reason do I resort to a bit of satirical ribbing.

I've occasionally said things I've regretted of course.

I bet it had the word "elderberries" in it. Yeah, me too.

I just don't understand why it's considered acceptable here to use vile language even if you strongly disagree with your opponents.

Because we're adults and we use language that adults use. The word fuck has a place in our language and it is a word that expresses what it does like no other word that we have available. 

If those words offend you, then you probably have some growing up to do because words on their own are never offensive, they're just words. In order to be offensive you must make a statement. Observe:

1. Its fucking hot as balls today.
2. Homosexuals don't deserve to live.

One of those statements is offensive and the other is not. If you were offended by the first one instead the second, you're not very bright and should probably refrain from reproducing or working with small children in any way.

Fuck man, can't a dude be a douchebag without getting a lot of pushback?

Please leave camel's dicks out of this!
