Imagine A World Without Profanity

posted July 10, 2008 - 4:39pm
Imagine A World Without Profanity

Imagine a world without the use of profanity everywhere I go I feel my ears are abused by other people's loud tone, or profanity while conversing with their friends. They are words I rather not hear. So I started to daydream what would the world be like without the use of foul langauge. Using foul language is such a commonplace in today's society that its totally accepted to let spurring words of disgust pour out into the street.

In this world there you would never see mothers snatching their children by their collars and telling them how bad they are by the use of words that come out of their mouths. You would never see a mother pointing her finger at a three year old child screaming at them telling them to sit their a**down .

In this world you would have the enjoyment of shopping in the grocery store without listening to others having conversations on their cell phones using vulgar language.

You would not have to watch young men and women walking down the street on an average day exchanging words to their entertainment using profanity without regard to others who are present.

You would have the pleasure of never hearing negativity anywhere. Of course such a world doesn't exist but I sure wonder what it would feel like to live in a world with no profanity.

Being a teenager, I'm subject to this vulgarity on a daily basis even at school! Even I find myself using a word or two every so often. It's shameful. Thanks for reminding me that it is not commonplace and acceptable, it's trashy and disrespectful...to myself. I'm so proud of my friend who has never had profanity cross her lips in all of her 17 years! What an accomplishment, I feel, in this day and age!

Amazing Patience Lmo Has, Waiting for Someone Else to Save Us...

Lmo COULD've offered a solution, but`e would rather condemn America to horrors of the unknowable proportions. But how can we evade the horrors? Well, maybe it sounds too simple a solution (though it will mean a lot of work), so it's probably only ~part~ of the solution: open the free press! That is to say, someone in every city should publish a newspaper that is entirely 'letters-section.' Oh, the publisher will probably censor the letters to a low level of profanity; there may even be 'a line of corespondence' ABOUT profanity. Another part of the 'free press'-solution would be just that: CORESPONDence. Just like these posts open lines of correspondence (to those who JOIN http://www.xomba.com/referral/77778740 lol), the 'letters-section'-newspapers would open lines of correspondence to those who read! ...Does Uncle MythMan know you're still awesome-like-the-2008-Olympics? or is`e just commenting here to hear *your* comments on http://is.gd/22wY http://is.gd/1fSs http://is.gd/1fRghttp://is.gd/1fSe & http://is.gd/1fSj ???

adrienne, I agree with you

Unfortunately, we live in a decaying world, where profanity is nothing but an expression of fear, anxiety, rebellion, disgust and disappointment with how things are going on. Even as the moral and ethical standards are still there, they have been suppressed and deemed antiquated, the liberal agenda is throwing out the baby with the water and whatever feels good is called good, even if it is offensive or insulting to others. It is not a coincidence that our society has entered in the last stage of decay and destruction in the '70s, which will surely bring our country down to the level of a third world nation. It is not a matter of if, but of when will we reach the no return point (even as I believe we have passed it). Things will go from bad to worse and nothing will stop it, because the American people have lost their love for their country and replaced with the love of self. Those who know what the problem is and have the solution, are becoming a minority and are being silenced on the altar of irrational tolerance of destructive behaviors and decaying morals. America WILL have a wake up call, a call that will render 9/11 a simple accident. The imminence is there and potential is constantly growing. Will we heed the call?

Well, Since You Asked, Adrienne

People *know* what "trailer-trash" is ('trash of trailers,' yes? trash bad, yeah. trailers place where people go, yeah? calling people trash bad, yeah?) I have no idea what a "n###er" is (something like a chopping block, upon which one splits faggots, yeah?) Call me either one, I don't care; doesn't change the fact I'm not, but with the first I know exactly 'what it is' you're wrong to be calling me.

'Blackboard' English Is Almost as Dead as Latin

mythman - Fri, 2008-18-7 8:59 pm
The English that is written in textbooks is pretty-much only good for 'proving that you're "better" than those who haven't studied the textbooks.' (Oh sure, lots of practice with it can give you all sorts of abilities with it ... just like I was such a dork I used to juggle violins) I'm not saying 'going full-pottymouth' is typically a "good" thing to do; but I'm sure lots of writers older/more-studied than me can tell you about words that were once gutter-trash lingo which have passed through the halls of slang into scholarly dialogue!

This *$&%^#@!?!!! xombyte just won't die!

veghead - Fri, 2008-18-7 10:47 am
I get more emails about comments on this xombyte than anything else and I'm freakin' tired of it (can I say the F word?)! Seriously though, adrienne, you really tapped a sensitive vein, but it's like left versus right: people will never ever agree, at least not in our lifetimes. So it's wise of you to move on, and I for one will do the same.

classroom language

I understand the way you are using the F word in your sentences. And I know what it means in that context. But someone said to me F that and that is not a definition. Anyway I am getting tired of this discussion. I just dont like the F word no matter how its used. Maybe I did get a little oversensitive.(you know how us right-wing conservatives can be)lol-- I did get pretty hot--and I am sorry for that. Who can say the F word in class. We we weren't allowed to use that type of language in class. http://www.xomba.com/user/adrienne
