Drama / Re: Whats up with 5 year old blockheads having a no swearing rule?
« on: October 30, 2010, 09:29:45 PM »To try and justify the notion that something may be involuntarily promoted, and, thus, shouldn't be disturbed, is absolutely outrageous. Not only are you accepting bias, but you're also dividing opinion from fact. The fact: the word does not harm the person. In many cases, the person convinces themself that it's offending to the extent of creating a standard within their head. This can lead to several emotional aspects, such as depression, but it's still ultimately due to the person's interpretation of the word (unless you consider it to harm the body physically, such as in sight and sound).I agree to what you're saying. I just failed to try and convey what I was.
I understand that there are several attacks made to purposely harm people mentally, which are ultimately referred to as insult. However, several terms, many of which I'm currently using, can promote this same establishment. The words that fall into the catagory of being a "swear word" can be used for many things that aren't insult, such as emphasis, common referral, etc.
Regardless of the obvious points, every single word produced could be considered offensive. Does this imply that we should quit using the english language as a whole because it may lead to emotional disruption? Or, even, put ourselves in solitude due to paranoia of every inflicting event that occurs within the world? I don't think so, but you may have a differentiating opinion.
I am not retiring my statements, but I wasn't expecting a debate, and nor do I intend on doing so.
There are truths to both sides of an argument, and as much as I would love to hear things from the view points of another person and try to extend my knowledge to help better my opinions, I was not hoping on doing so today (and not on this subject).
I was not expecting anyone as in depth as you to bother and help answer questions like this topic, which is why I'm suffocating everyone with my opinions without much brown townysis.
We can accept what we want to believe, and I'll leave it at that. I was just trying to share my views to help add perspective to others, and if that was a failure, it isn't my interest to force people into seeing things my way.
