AN OFFICIAL INQUIRY INTO THE HISTORY OF CUSS WORDS

• Sage

  

  Ok. So.
  
  I've made a resolution to quit swearing. You know--the big dawgs.
  
  I got to thinking though---why are curse words considered curse words other than the fact that our parents told us they were bad?
  
  Consider the following sentence:
  
  I fornicated with a broad last night.
  
  How is that any worse than this:
  
  I fucked a bitch last night.
  
  Isn't it the same thing? Aren't we talking about the same issue? If I say "I'm going to fuck you up, faggot." Isn't that the same message as "I'm going to really mess you up, you insufferable human being!"? Not only that--but I would argue that the former is a better mode of delivering your intended message of malice to your foe.
  
  So, why are the curse words? It seems arbitrary to me and I hate arbitrary things so I'm questioning this resolution.

  I fucking knew it. Those god damn French cocksuckers.

  If you made a resolution to stop cursing...you didn't do so hot in your first post.

  Well, I was going to---but then I realized that it's pretty arbitrary.
  
  I hated JJ because he was completely obtuse and arbitrary.
  
  Hatred for cussin' is arbitrary.

  No, I was just curious to garner people's opinions--because this is a message board--and that's what you do.
  
  WHAT YOU DONT DO IS FUCKING CONNECT POSTS, COUNT DOWN AND OTHER SHIT LIKE THAT--BECAUSE THIS IS THE INTERNET---AN UNLIMITED ABYSS OF ENTERTAINMENT AND INFORMATION---SO THERE IS NO POINT OF TRYING TO COME UP WITH FAGGOT ASS GAMES TO PLAY ON A WEB FORUM MEANT FOR DISCUSSING SERIOUS FUCKING BUSINESS?
  
  IS THAT TOO SIMPLE FOR YOU TO UNDERSTAND, YOU SIMPLETON FUCK?

  Haha, yet you posted in it, wait, damnit.

  No, pretty much all you are doing is wasting peoples times by saying one thing, then lying and doing the opposite.
  
  "I think I wanna quit cussing. Naw, nevermind, I will keep cussing because it makes me look cool".
  
  Dumb Thread.

  Right. It is much better to start a thread about counting backwards.
