Swearing is necessary, censorship can suck it.


Am I the only sane person who thinks that swearing is absolutely necessary when conveying some thoughts? Why shouldn't I be able to use a widely accepted form of communication occasionally, especially it is so satisfactory?
It bothers me that there are silent moments in songs and it bothers me when some voiceover says" Motherlover" instead of writer's no doubt well thought out, "Motherfucker".

The word fuck has been nothing short of a life jacket for the English language (and no doubt with a translation available in every language that has ever been used on earth). How can you replace it with a simple "no" when the two can never convey the same emotion?
"Fuck" probably is the only word that can be used as every part of a sentence and can have a wide variety of meanings, and even opposing ones.
See this video for more on the word "fuck" (I just looove the damn word).

So we are afraid that our children may be corrupted by words alone, when there are spoilt celebrities plastered on TV every day, people who become idols to youth, who are concerned for nothing but what little genetically mutated animal to abuse this week. Our kids are growing up on a culture of excess and non-caring self-indulgence and some of you are concerned that they will learn the word "shit". Well, news flash, most likely your innocent little girl or boy has already heard the word from a classmate, way before reading the lips of a rapper on MTV.

Let's get over ourselves shall we. Swearing is a high form of art, a way to emotionalize your words, nothing more. I am not saying people should use it to hurt each other, but to express themselves, they shouldn't be afraid to spice up there language with an occasional harmless word. By no means am I speaking about racial slur here, that is unacceptable clearly unless you are member of that race and you know what? I respect that. To me people are people, but some are wankers, some are dicks, some are bitches, some are deuchebags and some are assholes. Few of them, few of them are just wonderful, but we all know that's rare.
