foul language

[j2k4]

Indeed, I do discriminate. Good point well made.

I'm sure you'd have amended things, had I dallied.

I just happened to be looking at the right time.

[Squeamous]

I do struggle with the hypocrisy of people who defend swearing but say they do so only in certain situations.

How is it hypocrisy. People may chose not to swear at work, in front of small children, at church, at semi-formal dinner parties, in a wide range of occasions. By definition they are choosing to allow themselves to swear in other circumstances. How is that hypocrisy.

I mean mostly the fact that people will swear like troopers but say they don't do it in front of their kids. It's hypocrisy for an adult to do one thing and instruct a child to do the opposite. If you swear in public why be precious about your kids hearing it? (not you particularly but in general).

Personally, I swear when the mood takes me wherever I am. To me it's just a part of language and can be very expressive at the right times.

Ok I agree with GayPaul.

I swear like a trooper but don't do it in front of my kids.

How the hell does that make one a hypocrite?

I also have sex, drink liquor, have sex, speed in my car on occasion, have sex, and have sex.

I'd tell my daughter not to do any of those things but when she hits adulthood, she has choices to make.

I think you were trying to make a point but ended up not making sense instead.

Words are just words, to be scared or offended by some or any isn't necessary...IMO

Mmk, that makes no sense either.

[Something Else]

I mean especially if somebody uses a foul-word and it's not directed at you, why be upset? I don't get it....

[Voetsek]

lekker!

[100%]

FUCK!
i said in the car, two days ago

A little voice next to me then said

"fak fak fak fak"

(my two year old)

This word obviously meant something more /real or (other) because out of the blue today he did it again, even though i had not said the word since the last time.

"fak, fak fak fak"

what rhymes with fuck which is not fuck apart from duck? ( distraction mode)

need to add to my vocabulary level.

If you meant the hypocrisy specifically in relation to swearing in front of children it would probably have been better if you had said that.

Personally I doubt that you don't moderate your language depending on the situation. You may do it subconsciously but you probably do it.

I'm not scared or offended by them, I just chose not to use them in certain circumstances. On a vist to the Doctor for example I am unlikely to speak in the same manner as I do when speaking to mates when drunk.

I am of a certain age however, so the social graces may be different for me. Tho' I suspect that on a first date most of you would moderate your language. The ones who have actually had full sex with a woman know what I'm talking about. The rest of you may wish to think about that one.
