Cursin' 'n cussin' on USMB...

What are your thoughts?

I don't really have a problem with it, but I do tend to agree with my father who said, "Profanity is how the uneducated express their thoughts."

But it is also the way in which the highly educated express their thoughts in a profane manner.

In my opinion, the caliber of debate is diminished, when people who are supposed to be adults use vulgar made up words towards one another.

Ranting and raving in vulgarities, as if I were some juvenile kid, is not my idea of fun.

Vulgar words in a debate do diminish the caliber of the debate.

But vulgar words in other non-debate settings (like in a thread discussing poop), the discussion is enhanced.

I am not going to waste my time typing out the many childish vulgar made up words I have seen on here. Many of them are F bomb based. It shows ignorance and immaturity, in my opinion. It doesn't make one's argument any stronger. In fact, it goes against the rules of debate.

I couldn't agree more.

Sometimes a situation calls for adult language, but not in any debate.

And, I agree that the use of made up words and names is childish - like children in school. 'Libtard', 'repug', some version of someone's name, etc. - does nothing for me. Content cuts much harder than any 'clever' term.

Well excuse the hell outta me, but the thread wasn't about that.

The regulations about which were previously posted as a reminder. Either of you have an opinion on that?

Woah. Calm down. I answered. Sometimes cursing is OK to me, and sometimes it is not OK with me; and I outlined those distinctions.

mmmmm, one of my faves along with cornfed baby peckerheads.

Other than at work, out with the boys or on message boards, I don't swear.I never swear in front of women or children and have been in a fight or two over the years when I have remonstrated with morons that were.

Mostly it's the conservatives. All that pent up nastiness, they have to let it out somehow. But it's OK. On Sunday, they go to church and ask God to forgive them. Of course. he has nothing to say.

Retard ALERT, RETARD ALERT.

Were you born an imbecile, or is this a life's worth of work for you?

Funny thing, in the real world I cuss up a storm. On message boards, though I have been known to throw out a swear word or two, I generally refrain from doing so in an effort to keep things civil.

There does appear to be an inordinate number of children about at times, doesn't there?
