What Purpose hath foul Language?

with 16 comments

It is uncreative. People who use it as expressions of whatever they are feeling at the moment forsake far more creative ways to say it. People who use it are limiting themselves to a very small, undesirable portion of all language. People who use it show that they are ignorant enough not to know to use something better.

It is rude. Please explain to me why I should have to tell my brothers the meaning of the f-word because some person with low standards put it in a movie? Why should I have to be flinching every time certain people at my workplace speak, but keep my mouth shut for the sake of their “freedom of speech.” In this age of people getting offended, what if such vile, crude behavior offends me? Should I be able to sue for millions of dollars as someone could do to me if I said the wrong thing in the wrong place? Should I be able to get my co-worker fired if they could get me fired for expressing my Christianity?

Why purpose does it contain?
