The more we censor "bad words", the more we say they are wrong, fight them, and admonish their use, the more power we give them. Why can't people understand that?
Words are meaningless, it is the intent in which they are spoken with that gives them meaning.
Unless you can filter out a persons intent, someone can be just as offensive, mean, and cruel with "bad words" as without them.
Someone intelligent could insult and demean you way worse, without using a single curse word, than a 12 year old that says "i ****ed ur mom u ***git". |
