It shows lack of vocabulary. Cursing doesn't make you right, it proves your lack of ability to communicate with civility.I hate UNC.
What's wrong with cursing?
The day that happens, no one responds to a yellow jacket poast.I agree. Do you see some opinion you don't like? Well, just scroll on, my friend, and respond only to thoughtful posts.
Who called another poster a pedophile?Well, I think a poster calling another poster a pedophile is a first for our forum so we will unstick this and hope everyone got it out of their system.
Yeah, I think I missed this one.Who called another poster a pedophile?
I believe it was badbehavior1015... On the decorum thread.Yeah, I think I missed this one.
I once felt this way. I went a decade trying to never use curse words, then I gave up and said fuck it.It shows lack of vocabulary. Cursing doesn't make you right, it proves your lack of ability to communicate with civility.
Who deemed it not civil?It shows lack of vocabulary. Cursing doesn't make you right, it proves your lack of ability to communicate with civility.
Context has so much to bring in this conversation.Who deemed it not civil?
There's no reason fuck should be taboo but the word spoon or moist is acceptable.
Just because someone ancient started a trend doesn't make it valid
Profanity or a lack thereof isn’t a measure of civility.It shows lack of vocabulary. Cursing doesn't make you right, it proves your lack of ability to communicate with civility.

Below is some supporting talks as to why it really isn't that bad and doesn't actually show a lack of vocabulary. I hope this first one is the specific one I was looking for, didn't have time to listen again today.
The science of swearing, especially the impact of profanity on most people. Swearing is actually powerful language that doesn't deserve to be condemned or to be equated to poor intelligence. Venja Beck, 22, got her bachelor’s in psychology and communication at Maastricht University College and after a sabbatical year she’s now working on her research master’s in cognitive sciences in Amsterdam. At high school she attended the bilingual Da Vinci Class at College Den Hulster in Venlo, which explains her ease with the English language. The subject of her talk will be about the science of swearing, especially the impact of profanity on most people. The apt title of her talk is ‘I swear this will be a good TEDxtalk’, also indicating that swearing derives from taking oaths. In her talk she hopes to convince you that swearing is actually very powerful ‘cool’ language that doesn’t deserve to be condemned so much and must not be equated to poor intelligence. It has always been a widely accepted tradition dating back to medieval times. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
Swearing isn’t all bad. From his own psychology research on swearing as a response to pain, to studies from further afield, Richard Stephens will present the numerous positive outcomes of swearing. This TEDx talk will make you think about swearing in a whole new light. Sometimes it’s OK to drop the F-bomb. Swearing isn’t all bad.

And just for good measure:
I don't mind fuck, shit, ass, etc. Moist? Nope!Context has so much to bring in this conversation.
I mean, I can think of some sentences with moist that might make a sailor blush.![]()
Well vulgarity is often used as part of humor, so it tracks that something you find vulgar might get laughs from others. The question is whether it's over the top vulgarity based on board consensus (or the powers that be, if they want to get into that).I don't mind the cussing, but when posters say I guzzle the spunk of an Israeli thug just because I don't fit in with their view of Middle East affairs and it gets laughs from the usual board suspects, well I consider that vulgar.
