"Thou Shalt Not Swear" ...STFU.

Let's NOT talk about why the world is screwed up, but more about more personal matters. Firstly...

Swearing. Cussing. I don't know, there are more words to describe this "forbidden" act, and well, I don't like to swear much, especially on the internet. If I do swear, it's because I was EXTREMELY emotional at that time, or want to GREATLY exaggerate something, however that's about it. Somethings I accidentally swear in front of my best friend (like instead of 'stuff' I say 'sh-t'.) And I realize it too late, so I instead say it anyway, but the word's volume goes down. My cuss was but a squeak. Yet, I don't like it when other people swear. And I don't mean in real life, since I have a friend who swears all the time. I mean on the internet.

Now I don't mind if they do it occasionally, but there are those who swear all the time, when they don't need to, even. I especially hate how people use swear words to compliment something. I mean it really doesn't sound like they're actually complimenting it, it sounds like they're insulting what they were complimenting to begin with. Like for example, you describe this beautiful sexy beast of a woman you know, "One hot b-tch". Now, first of all, "b-tch" is commonly used to describe those who's personalities are snobbish or selfish or such, but I wouldn't use it in a compliment at all. This is what particularly pisses me off. Other samples include "good sh-t" or "f-ck" in anyway whatsoever. I mean if someone describes their love to an Anime character using the word 'f-ck', I am generally uncomfortable with that. A good example is, "I SO BADLY f-cken LOVE THIS PIECE OF GOOD SH-T because HE IS ONE HOT B-TCH!!!!" And I'm not ranting out of nowhere either, I've seen this in several conversations, groupings with guys, and my LJ friend's journals.

I'm not telling them to stop, no, they can continue all they want. I've told myself before, if I don't want to read swear words online, don't read the document that contains it, at all. However when they throw the swear word in a SUBJECT TITLE or scream it out in BIG BOLD RED LETTERS, it's kind of hard to ignore, y'know? ^^ Same in real life, using swear words to compliment something, now I don't care if someone uses it in a frustrated way. I don't even care if they randomly use it out of nowhere, but for some reason I don't find intended compliments that contain swear words really a compliment at all.

However, I am not against cussing, in fact today, my very potty mouthed friend was a little pissed and was arguing with my other friend that the dog tags were 5 bucks and not 2 bucks, she then went, "The f-cking sign f-cking says 5--" and then two teachers coming out of the English classroom next to us while we were eating lunch heard us. I didn't know who one of them was, but the other one was the Drama Teacher and my old French teacher. The same drama teacher who held a play a few weeks ago, where I clearly remember there was one swear word in it. Now, the Drama teacher only stood there, watching, but her expression looked shocked and angry. The other teacher was MUCH worse, she went, "excuse me?" in by far the stupidiest, b-tchiest manner that I've ever seen.

What is the point of free speech, if people can't really speak in how they want to? Now I may be a little hypocritical here, but the word, "fag" greatly offends me because I am one of those who love shounen-ai/shoujo-ai, and think it's awesome. Also, seeing as 'fag', similar to 'motherf-cker' aren't used as often as say sh-t, f-ck, b-tch, or even bastard. (Yes I don't think that one needs to be censored, lol) So obviously they seem more offensive. Now I'm not angry if someone says fag, because often they aren't homophobic (but at times are, and those who use it to describe a gay or bi person is LOW) but only use it since it's like a fad. If others use it, it seems cool, they start using it. A little careless I admit. However, the person who truly should be punished because of the word 'fag' is the one who used it to describe a homosexual. When originally, 'fag-ot', was just a bundle of sticks.

So what I'm saying is, swear words never originally meant to be a 'bad' word. Bastard means an illegitimate child, and b-tch is a female dog. When people seem offended when one says it...it just becomes extremely hypocritical. They believe in free speech, and people should NOT have a problem with the way one speaks. It's who we are, I speak with a slight accent. There was this teacher who I never heard of in 6th grade who tried to correct my speaking problem (basically the inability to pronounce th and f differently, and r and w differently) I never bothered to actually practice (as I was told to) to fix my speech pattern. It's still here with me, I think I'm beginning to speak my r's better because I'm learning Japanese, but otherwise I like how I talk.

When that woman of a teacher told my friend not to swear, my friend was like, "Oh, I'M SORRY." She didn't mean it in a very 'apologetic' way, and I agree, why the hell does she need to apologize? It's a free country you dumbass woman. The teacher replied, "you didn't sound very sorry from that tone!" In the stupidest and most downright snobby voice I've ever heard. Then my friend defended herself, "Do you have a problem with the way I SPEAK?!" Then the teacher told her to come to her and they lectured a bit. I mean seriously, I understand parents not letting young children know the swear words, because then they blab it out in public, everybody looks at the mother and think, "omg what a bad influence". Not letting children know is to avoid embarrassment, but hello? We're almost adults now, we aren't babies anymore. Let us talk how we want!

There was this incident a while ago, where my cousin said "WTF" in an MSN conversation, and some of his family caught him. Now he only said WTF, ONLY THE ACRONYM. He got into a WHOLE LOT OF TROUBLE from it. FROM THE GOD DAMNED ACRONYM. That's not even literally SWEARING, for heaven's sake! Then one day in his house, his brother said to me, "And you better not swear too!" Do you know how much respect he lost from me just because of that damned line? I didn't swear at all, and he goes and does that. It's incredibly stupid. I really hate how people can't accept swearing, since it's just stupid SOUNDS IN A LANGUAGE. I don't remember a "thou shalt not swear" in the Bible! THEY WERE NEVER SUPPOSED TO BE OFFENDING WORDS IN THE FIRST PLACE. These 'forbidden' words are used incredibly commonly too, why can't the idiot adults just let it go? They're always BITCHY about it, but swearing never dies down.

I have two goody-good friends who never swear, but they don't really care when others do. It's just like being a vegetarian, trying to be 0% racist, etc. It's an impossible thing to do, stereotyping will always exist, we will always eat meat. Yet the vegetarians or extremely anti-racist people can go ahead and do what they want, nobody is stopping them. As long as they try not to force others. I'm not racist either, it's just that I know it's impossible to not stereotype the Chinese to be good at math, or he whites as snobby rich people. It's everyday life, however most people do not really mean to offend anybody, and that's good enough.

Secondly, my dead grandmother is an idiot. She had like 10 children and disowned 6 of them, my dad was the youngest. The oldest is my aunt, and I have one uncle and my father. My other uncle died sometime before my father was born. All the children she disowned were girls, and you very well know the whole dilemma about too many guys in China right now because of the idiots in the past dumping girls everywhere. It's idiotic...stupid...really. *sigh*

OKAY! I WILL CONTINUE MY FARM STORY, HAPPY FARM FRIENDS! =DDDDDDD
