Frankly I don't get any of the arguments against swearing, and in fact I don't understand why any language is 'bad'. If you remove the context and intention behind a word, then it is nothing but a particular acoustic or electromagnetic waveform.
Yes. It's unfortunate that if you're actually using it, then it isn't out of context and it means more than that. Yes, its purpose in actual language matters, but turns out that's where you use it, and turns out that words actually have particular meanings and connotations when in the context of that language.
In fact, for anyone who REALLY doesn't like the idea of someone saying a particular word which you disapprove of, how have you managed to wake up every day still wishing to exist? Every day thousands of people die in agony and misery. There are millions of people starving and struggling to survive. We wage wars on a regular basis with the only goal of stealing resources from ourselves. There are dozens of oppressive regimes in place which torture and murder their citizens. Even if we manage to survive the next few centuries, we may never leave the solar system and will get engulfed by the sun when it becomes a red giant. What about the almost certain eventuality of heat-death, where billions of years from now our descendants find themselves in a cold dying universe where energy is the most precious resource, and eventually even our most advanced technology cannot prevent the ablation and decay of all matter.
So you choose to fight for your God-given right to say "fuck" on privately owned Internet forums. You are fighting the good fight and I salute you for it.
Now, can you really say that the most offensive thing to you is someone on an internet forum saying the word 'shit' as part of an attempt to make people laugh?
I don't really think anybody is saying that, implying that, or even believes that in the slightest. Sorry!
If so, I want you to listen carefully when I say:
FUCK. THAT. SHIT.
This would be trite as hell even if you weren't ripping it straight from an XKCD punchline.
Seriously, you give the impression of an immature teenager who just figured out about the concept of the "right to free speech". Yes, there are worse things to worry about than harsh language on the Internet. However, it also makes you rather juvenile and petty to care
so much about using the fuck word on a forum post that you're willing to take actual effort into ensuring that you can sneak them in in some obfuscated fashion instead of just doing what a sane person (in this case, a person not so ridiculously reliant upon cursing) would do and making the extremely minor modifications to language necessary to accommodate.
In other words: If the swearing carries such little weight, why on Earth does he care so much and why are they so necessary?
