Cunning LinguistsLanguages and their use. What languages do you speak and why? What do words really mean? Can you say things in one language that you can't say in another? Should there be a national language? How many languages should a person know and what are they?
Do you think time has come to stop using Profanity in the language we speak. and will you teach profane words to someone who wants to learn your language?
Why would we? Profanity conveys our emotions, feelings, and mood. Sucks to you if you happen to be caught in someone's wrath, but then again, wouldn't it suck if you couldn't express your own?
There have been so many arguments against the use of profanity . the people argue with the fact that you do not want your children to learn profane words through you.
would you agree on such an argument.

I don't have a problem with kids learning foul words. They just need to be mature enough to know when and when not to use them.
Basically...most kids grow up knowing that they can't swear in the presence of their parents, and they learn profanity from other people their age. That's how it's been for a long time, and I don't see any problem with it.
I have a friend that never curses. This one time she said "Shut the fuck up" and everyone fell silent because we knew she was serious business. If you go around cursing all the time it kinda loses its impact.
Cursing is in my opinion the most interesting aspect of any language. The versatility of the words "fuck" and "shit", for example, is fucking beautiful.
"Look, you fuck, I don't give a fuck what the fuck you fucking think, motherfucker. Go fuck yourself, fuckface, because I've fucking had enough of your fucking shit. FUCK!"
Theres something about profanity that I just don't understand.
What is really so bad, about the word "Fuck". Like, who decided that it was a bad thing to say? Who decided it was vulgar? Why can't they say "Fuck" on tv or the radio? Whats the harm?
I think in the polar opposite of OP, I think profanity shouldn't exist. He thinks that profane words shouldn't exist, I think there should be no such thing as a "bad word".
