When trying to get a point across.
If you use swear words, your point is lost.
People just hear your vocabulary is low.
To stress a point use words to impress and to put on a show.
Then you don't offend anyone.
And your point will be strong.
------- Author's Notes -------
Hope this doesn't make anyone uncomfortable. I just never understood that to stress a point using profanities is cool. I'm not a prude I use light swear words. But not the heavyduty ones. |

| Mark Spencer (205.188.208.139) -- Wednesday, February 12 2003, 10:59 am Sadly Barb curse words have been integrated into our every day lives. They're in the movies we watch and the songs our children listen to. Illiterate and uninformed people are easy to manipulate. How else could some of the recording artists today (and I hate to call them artists) continue to sell their tripe, if they were not encouraging their listeners to stay uneducated and morally bereft. Educated, moral people would find the garbage these people are peddling offensive. I don't mean to pontificate, but you have brought to light a sore subject for me. I thank you for articulating it so masterfully. Mark |
