I think it is a rather weak but well-meant attempt to get the distinguished forum users of GD to use a plethora of dubious words for the amusement of our esteemed OP.
Although I have to applaud the ambition, I think that OP - with all due respect- has a severe misconception of the educated people that frequent this forum.

Why is it that people need to curse so badly? It takes more intelligence to explain the fact that you don't like something. Cursing is really just showing your age and your childishness. Grow up! Use big boy words.

The fact that you want and need to curse in the forum does not make people want to actually care about your wants or desires or your problems in this game. It's just showing your lack of intelligence.

/sarcasm. ?

What he is trying to say is that curse words are a crutch for inarticulate motherfuckers.

Its not the morality that I am looking for its the intelligent use of words.

Sheese anyone can talk like that.

OP is a douche....cursing is fun, get over it.

Also, pot calling kettle black much? Notice the OP's VERY mature name.

I'm sorry, what is wrong with my name?

I didn't pull your mind into the gutter it started there already. Please strive to work your way up!

The thing about "foul" language, or obscenities, however you want to put it, or the existence of the notion there are words that are useable, and some that are not for reasons of morality is; it's a morality forced and attempted to be enforced by a religion, (the validity of which has been called into question by its own behavior) and a society that historically has been exclusive...meaning it likes to exclude people.

If one doesn't accept the tenets of religions that exist today, or the validity of even the society (which undoubtedly has questionable underpinnings), then what those structures define as foul language becomes just language. There are more than a few people that find that freedom exhilerating. In the lands of free speech it seems the rule is "sure you have free speech, just don't use it."

As far as YOUR choice of words, cursing. Using the language you find today that seems to be objectionable to you, you'll never find anyone putting a curse on anyone. This isn't meant as a joke. These religions I mention (centuries ago) took curses very seriously, as though they were actually real things (one of the many ways they discredited themselves as institutions.)

If you chose the other word (popular in the southern U.S.) "swearing," the incongruity there is people used to swear oaths. This is proscribed by these religions, and says so in plain black and white in their doctrine. How using "naughty words" or colorful language suddenly became "swearing" can be understood as easily as understanding how the word "gay" has been usurped for a specific purpose and the word "bling bling" wound up in Oxford's Unabridged.

The upshot is, I use that language because I like it. It has a meaning and power I like to use, and it upsets all the right people when I use it. It's very satisfying to know that. Now, if you can take what I just wrote above and claim I have no intelligence, or insight, or background (even) because I toss around a few "mofos" and other such expletives, then I'd have to accuse you with a word I find far more offensive than any so-called "cussing." That word is :

dis-+in-+gen-+u-+ous/-îdisin-êjenyo-Po+Ös/ Adjective: Not candid or sincere, typically by pretending that one knows less about something than one really does.

Thank-you for your kind (of) attention.

PS I'd have to question what you mean by your name, by the way: Hung too low. We all just got offa da boat.

First of all baby (btw I am a 25 year old woman in real life).
And second of all, all you guys that have such cute names like yours (rly Hung TuLo) are adoloscent boys or wannabe men who think they have the privates the length of a horse or a adult blue whale. lmaol
really baby, be proud if you have a two mm epeen, I'll still love if you let me have your stuff and buy me ten each of all the supercaps <3
me love you short time to make up for your lost manhood baby.
alos, this is America "land of Opportunity " and "freedom of Speech" so gtfo of the forums, you pansy!!!!"

Age does not determine intelligence. The use of the mind and vocabulary could constitute intelligence. The name (mine for example) I wasn't trying to find the most intelligent name to use.

Ok now to the baby remark. :) I am almost 2x your age, and while I would consider you a kid in real life. You begin to see the situation. While I do not understand your need to call me a pansy, never the less you did. So you were trying to be serious which is good but I don't think that you had the patience to stick to the seriousness throught the entire post. That is ok. There was only aa 25% chance that you would based upon your age. I also will give you bonus due to the fact that you are a girl playing this game + 10%. So there was truely a 35% chance that you were going to be serious about post a comment.

I am not worried about my manhood. I still have it and still able to use it. But I do believe that your post cries out P*N*S ENVY

alos, this is America "land of Opportunity " and "freedom of Speech" so gtfo of the forums, you pansy!!!!"

Confirming that Iceland is now part of America. As is London, no doubt.

'Hung TuLo'

Iceland? Sure. But London? No thanks.

I am sure that the british feel the same about you, yanks.

For those that are trying to stay away from using foul language. Don't you feel better for it?

Then there are those that still want to show either their lack of intelligence or their immaturity. Sometimes you can't tell the difference.

While I do admit to not using the best sense in choosing my name I do still have the ability to not ask for pictures on this forum, or to say to do something to someone else. Many of you come her and go and say whatever. That is fine. by all means don't post your not required to do so.

To those that did though, You words speak volumes about your attitudes and age.

Get over yourself OP, swearing has nothing to do with

Vocabulary

Maturity

Intelligence

If you have an issue with how a poster expresses him or herself use the ignore button

I do not agree on that. At first glance it might look like it has nothing to do with it to a layman. But to someone who's more aware of behavioral tendencies of individuals within certain social or societal constructs and contexts it's quite easy to get an indication of one's vocabulary, intelligence and maturity. Not to mention other things like ethnicity, social status, age and even sex.

But with that said cursing online in a textual matter doesn't make it have to be as such. Vocally it's usually easy to make certain connections to the indications I mentioned earlier. But textually it's a lot harder to make them because it's just not as easy to get a good insight into ones background. Specially if they think about what they write down. On the other hand a lot of people write down what they would say literally like if they were actually talking to someone. In those cases it would be easier. Handwriting expressions also can't be calculated in with online texts.

But I'm not against cursing. To a certain degree. Studies have shown over and over again that it serves as a stress and pain reliever. And using nuances to much makes some conversations or messages drag on and lose their emotional load. Which is something that communicates a message a lot stronger in a face to face conversation than the actual spoken words. It's society that lays down the rules as to how far it can go in certain contexts. But that doesn't remove the fact that cursing or swearing has nothing to do with it. And neither does it if you agree or disagree with someone choice of words.

Thank god for the ignore button tho^^
