The teachers can because of in loco parentis. While you're there, they are, effectively, your "parents." If a parent's moral-based decision predicates on their own upbringing, then all that must be done is change the culture, and you change the morality.
@obscure1956Profanity is the artillery of speech, and in battle artillery lends dignity to what would otherwise be a vulgar brawl. It was counts like you that got me in trouble in the second grade. A clean, high and mighty type that calls me up bitching about their neighbor parking their car parked where it ain't inconvenient to you. Asking me the security guard to tow it, when none of it was your business in the first place.
The reason not to swear at your teacher is because you respect her or her position. In this example, you might say to your class mate, "That homework was a bitch last night," but to your teacher you would dress your language differently: "I struggled with your assignments last night, didn't enjoy them at all."
Being free to say something does not make the basest modes of expression preferable to others. Save that for the locker room or AM radio. Enjoy gentility where you can.
@datachip He isn't saying that you HAVE to cuss every time you talk to someone. What he is saying is that people shouldn't get upset from the choice of words and try to open their minds to hear the real message behind the words. Which in this case...you have failed to do.
Fuck the shit. Fuck the fucking shit, fuck. Shit the fuck, shit the shitting fuck, shit. Fuck the shit. Fuck the fucking shit, fuck. Shit the fuck, shit the shitting fuck, shit.
There's no reason to fucking cry about those words up there, because they're fucking harmless and won't do shit to you. I'm not angry right now, I just get so happy when I use the words fuck and shit! So please don't fucking call me "uncivil" because I'm fucking not.
@bobbbbbable no, you are not "uncivil" you are just childish, needing to use language that you know is offensive to mauture people in order to evoke a reaction, or to demonstrate to them your childishly "rebellious" nature, you think you are messing with their head but all you are doing is making yourself look like a fool.
while this is completely correct, it does look at the whole issue from a selfish point of view. I agree that no one, government or otherwise, should be able to tell you what to say, but that right comes with the responsibility of a common courtesy to others and to avoid over-excercising that freedom in an innappropriate atmosphere. But again thats just my opinion, good video, i think its great that some people in the world are actually thinking, now just point it towards something that matters
@bazil0the0butcher I do believe that if he is wise as well as smart enough to come up with the kind of videos he does it would be easy to see that he would know this already. Besides...when do people really listen to those who make sence?
Don't confuse your unthinking, slavish allegiance to uncritical conformity with maturity.
The very fact that you've been trumped by a teenager in regards to your ability to apply reason effectively in critically evaluating the concept of profanity speaks volumes about the worth of your opinion.
The best you could muster by way of rebuttal amounts to notion more than the lazy application of a thought-stopping cliche, an inane platitude at best.
@SUPAHOSS what you just said made absolutely no sense at all. you think that if you just string together a string of long words it will make you appear to be intelligent. you think that you just took down "the man" and put him in his place, but all you did was demonstrate a lack of discipline. you are like a wild, untamed wolf, mentally, and being in control of your own mind scares the crap out of you
Come to Vloggerheads. You can swear freely without prosecution! lol
YouTube isnt a place for vloggers anymore. Lets face it. Its a place for mainstream media. They deserted vloggers a long time ago. Check out Vloggerheads if you want to vlog.
Tangent about hat has nothing to do with profanity.
fallacy of distribution in saying that words don't have meaning just because it's only a collection of sounds, this sentence makes sense, therefore words have meaning, dumbass.
I think you also had a strawman over the idea that puritans only want to ban words; they don't want hateful speech, and attacking words is just a fucking fruitless effort on their part.
He was using the symbolism of the hat to symbolize an example of superstition, like profanity.
Profanity goes further back then you know.Every swear word we know of now was originally a word that was used for good pretenses.Word's like Cock, for instance were once used to describe a chicken in the bible, and Fuck was originally a term used for "Hit" and to "Fornicate". The reason why there vulgar now is because, we changed them into something that there not.
And if you had any sense of intelligence you'd realize I have no problem with sex. I used Cock, and fornication to give you an example. In no way was I being a hypocrite. Sex was never really considered "cool". People looked at it as a revolution, or to start up new way's about looking at it, not bad but free.
These word's also were never "Cool". There used more ofter in music and T.V., it's because of this were just USED TOO saying it now, so much so that we don't even realize were doing it.
Damn I just read over what I wrote and my bad I meant to say "...were well constructed and 'NOT' filled with the bullshit that most kids argue 'and like this is like totally like not even cool man. It just like doesn't like make any sense like at like all like.'"
Well my friend the fact is that profanity isn't bad because the words are "bad". The act of demonizing words that are an idea, not tangible objects is an establishment of control. In every aspect of our lives this is abundant, such as dress codes, the FAA blah blah blah etc. etc. The truth is the profane words could be changed in any generation as they are and have always been because they don't exist, it's just a fabricated illusion, but the restriction of the words must...
...If all of our lives we didn't systematically conform to these rules then what in our nature would persuade us to conform on a grander scale. Just as a kid gradually learns to walk, a kid gradually learns to accept the rules in place. It's all a matter of baby steps man. It borders the idea of brain washing, and by the time you become conscious of the fact that the word fuck doesn't mean anything nor harm anyone, your thought is already set to the patterns it was taught
(Hahaha thought taught I'm a damn poet) But once you really sit back and break through this illusion we create of everything not just words but everything: social class, money, laws, religion, advertising, quality of life, needs of life and all the other bullshit it gets really depressing. So I suggest you stop while youre a head...
...Anyways nice video, your ideas were well constructed and filled with the bullshit that most kids argue and "like this is like totally like not even cool man. It just like doesn't like make any sense like at like all like." Well I guess I shouldn't say "kids" I'm only 18 but fuck it. (Hahaha "but-fuck it")
Yeah, but society didn't exist by itself. God created us in the first place. God created this world and everything in it. However since we have free will, not all of us conform to God and willingly serve Him, so we have the ability to choose either Life or Death.
If we choose Life, then we ought to live for God, but if we choose Death, you do whatever you want to do...because Jesus is very clear that He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life and no one comes to God except thru Him.
I'm not Christian, but I'm not feeling any hatrid for them, but, I WILL say, that 'God' CAN'T have said not to say profanity, because of profanity has changed omfg much since then.
It's not Religion, it IS SOCIETY that deems what's right and what's wrong.
You say 'before the Christian religion' was reformed and evolved, but God is not bound by religion for He always was, is, and will be. Jesus existed before humanity. Jesus and God are one and the same.
In other words, God is Reality, because this world didn't happen by accident. A man doesn't call a line crooked unless he has an idea of a straight line.

Yea wouldn't you like to try, boy. Your mommy or daddy need to take that computer and stick it up your ass one piece at a time.
Then they need to take your sorry excuse for a son and take their belt off and give you a whippen that you won't forget.
It's smart ass kids like you that we need t he military draft and get your ass into the army and let a drill sergent make a man of you, boy. A few 20 mile marches with 80 lbs of equipment. It's no wonder some parents eat their young. Punk kid !
Your telling him to grow up yet you wish that his parents would beat him and stick his computer up his ass. The words of a finely educated and moral human indeed. Your a terrible person. Please, for the love of all humanity as we know it...KILL YOURSELF.
in my school, we can't wear holes above the knees, ask the vice prinipa, he says that it is to avoid disruption. same for hats. our prncipal, however, said the hoels above the knees was to prevent sexual acts and the hats was a form of repsect. so why do we have them? i don't know, but niether does my school.

Good argument but you miss the poit almost entirely. Words themselves have no power, it is how they are used. Profanities symbolise (all words are symbols)an attitude that is aggressive and disrespectful in a civilized society.Your Constitution was not penned to justify the use of profanity as you suggest - how shallow would that be - but to guarantee the right to hold opinions such as you and I are expressing now.Decency should tell you to do that with respect for others.Profanity=distrespect
i agree with you all the way!!! they have no right to revoke our right of speech, also my vice principal- said something about knives, drugs, bieng smuggled under hats which is a load of SHIT!!!

i keep replaying it to make you say dept million dept million heehee but that is the only reson why i favorited it though and i think you shouldent cuss...EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think the word stereotype falls a bit short from describing profane language as rude. So, if a stranger talks to me with profane language and I turn away feeling degraded I am automatically being stereotypical and rude?
duh everyone knows why ppl use that kind of words... theres nothing u can say it will be always offensive, and when u say a word u r not saying that for its meaning, only because its offensive.
well g u gotta look at it from both points o view. some pple were simply brought up not cursing n if that some1 is yo teach then they mite b offended. n like u said its the meaning that counts, some of those "words" DO have offensive meanings. i kno u want freedom o speech but if it hurts or offends some1 then why would u want 2 say it? if some places/pple dont like cussin then they should b able 2 feel comfortable.
Why should one person not say something in order to make someone else comfortable? Pleasing or making someone else happy at your expense is something that we have the choice to do or not do. It'd be one thing if someone woke you up while you're sleeping because they have the music up too high but profanity is only words. Taking offense to certain words only because of what the words are makes no sense. Like thecaster said you should tolerate.
but like i said some of them are offensive to some pple. im not saying u should go around tryin 2 please the world all the time. im jus sayin that u should take others feelings in2 consideration. u mite not c the big deal but 2 alota pple profanity is more than just words.
I agree that profanity can make one seem uncultured/ignorant or rude however this is not a reason for it to be banned. If we decide to ban everything that a certain group of people finds rude we might as well ban eating with one's mouth open.
Nice, clean, neat house. I love that. So many people on YouTube has a mess in the background. You'd think they'd at least clean up before posting in front of the world!

this guy is wrong and ppl who agree with him r only a bunch of vulgar brainless ppl. why dont this homosexual try a better topic? NO he wont because he wants to defend his stupid point of profanity that would allow him say whatever he wants to whoever he wants. ppl is defined by their acts, and u showed us that you are nothing but a rebel and a disturbing thing... r u he or she?
I came back to read the recent comments for this video, and I see that you're making disparaging remarks about those who disagree with you, despite the fact that you've completely and utterly failed to establish any logical basis for your views, or refute any arguments against those views. I don't believe you even addressed the last comment I made to you... a MONTH ago. You've got no business saying that anyone ELSE is wrong. What's "vulgar" is the extent of your ignorance.
After seeing this video of our dear American/Asian commentator, meet his slightly older, somewhat happier, and much less disgruntled Australian/Asian cousin, they both seem upset about random stuff but as far as things go, but our Aussie friend seems much more amiable.
What students that plagiarize the works of others. This kid ripped this off of Penn & Teller from their show bullshit. The episode was aptly named Profanity, and was entirely dedicated to the analysis of the human phenomenon of profanity. They had linguistics experts to the religious right give their opinion on it. This kid takes so many direct quotes and whole paragraphs that its despicable. I'm afraid to see what you consider a regular student if plagiarism gets an A+ for this kid
Its not an opinion that this kid plagiarized. Watch the episode for yourself & then compare the two. If you're really a teacher, then you should know how to recognize plagiarism. It doesn't have to be exact quotations[although this kid does do that], it can be paraphrased but its still theft of ideas. I'm not the first to call him out on this neither. I even pointed out specific parts that were exact quotes in earlier comments on this videos, but that was before it was even a 1,000 comments.
Here I'll give you some specifics on the original source from which this kid hi-jacked the ideas.
Penn & Teller: Bullshit! Episode 10, Season 2
Titled: "Profanity"
Air Date August 12, 2004
summary: Attacks the idea that certain words are inherently offensive and thus are (or should be considered) taboo, and questions the constitutionality of the FCC's broadcast standards on profanity.
I am glad your mother didn't go to the abortion clinic. Where would the world be without your eloquence. Just so you know, I am serious about the first statement and sarcastic in the second.
Ah, once I got here I was pro choice. Lucky for me, my mom was a fundaie Xian when I was born, even luckier for me, she grew out of it when I got older so I didn't have to listen to BS as an adult
The world would be in a much worse place
Just so you know, you don't have to point out what you meant, funny thing is I have a brain that can compute & interpret symbols into words, then words into meanings & into understandings. Oh & uh....I'm glad that you didn't catch that it was a joke.
You seem to say that words can't pollute yyour mind or inflict actual damage to another person - according to what you say racial slurs should be no big deal. You might say that those words have degrading meaning behind them, but so does every swear word. A bitch is someone who is rude and selfish and egotistical.
No, "bitch" is primarily an insult toward women. It means you think the woman is lower than and inferior to you. Well, originally it meant female dog...but that's not how most people use it. It's basically like calling them a female dog, which is insulting because many people consider dogs to be beneath human beings. People also use it to mean asshole, or a general swear-word, but that isn't the main meaning.
Lol whatever the exact meaning it has, you seem to agree that it does have a degrading meaning, similar to a racial slur. thats the point I was trying to make. To justify swearwords "thecaster" would have to agree that racial slurs are no big deal either
Very well said!! It's amazing that there are still people out there who hold on to Christian moral values. In the online world they are especially rare. God bless you!
The simple fact is, branding a collection of syllables as being inherently rude IS ridiculous. Words such as fuck, shit and crap all lend a certain tone, feel and context to a statement or sentence, but not necessarily one of anger or spite. To give an example, there is an instance when Homer Simpson says "sweet merciful crap! My car!", not to insult but as an alternative to "oh my god!" or similar phrases.
The writers of The Simpsons are not stupid; they chose 'crap' because in the context it was used it was inherently funnier than the alternatives. The greatest comedians are all the funnier due to their mastery of language, including when and how to use words that in circles would be considered unspeakable.
The use of profanity can be extremely lazy, and is often used when others actually can't think of an alternative, but that's a problem with the speaker, not the words he uses. Giving those words even more power to shock is simply counter-productive, and we'd do well as a culture not to give them that power.
If every other word is a swear word, then it's just stupid. But swearing in itself isn't necessarily stupid. There is more than one kind of swear. Like, somebody can swear by a higher power (i.e. may ___ curse you). It doesn't have to be all blind and sloppy, it can be more creative than that.
You seem to have it the wrong way round, Vaportrale. The examples you gave show the issue of context, not of the actual meaning or 'rudeness' of a word. The skateboard video comment, particularly, could easily be worded without rude words yet still imply the action. Telling your daughter to stop fucking around is inappropriate, but it is because it implies actions more violent or wrong than if she was 'messing' around, rather than any particular use of 'profanity'.
I think it is you that has it wrong. While I understand you can be hostile without swearing, the lewd words that are rampant on youtube make it unsafe for children to broadcast. That is a real shame because it really would be more fun for everyone without the profanity. Cussing on youtube is a selfish act and selfishness is the root of hostility.
Its fucking selfish for you to try to trash our 1st amendment rights fucker. Only reason its unsafe is b/c of society considers it taboo. Its no more dangerous for a child than are any other words in language. You're too focused on the words & you miss the message & context of things. Thats the problem, cause I'm sure you'd be alright w/us using baby talk to replace profanity.
Instead of shit say poo, as in bull poo, poo head, & this poo is cold
Feces would be the word a ratioonal person would use and usually only when refering to the physical manifestation of that particular excrement. To say someones head is related to it is immature and hostile. As forr your description of me as one who has sex. What does that have to do with it? It doesn't make your point. It validates mine.
NO, feces would just be the word used in a formal report or by a bookworm maybe. For the rest of the world & society we call it shit or for young kids & adults with virgin ears we call it poo.
I take it you've never seen South Park: Bigger Longer & Uncut?
B/c that last sentence is simply a quote from the movie, which while meant to entertain, I would argue it also brings up some very interesting points about profanity.
Your conclusion is presumptuous and at least in my case wrong. I do want you to change your attitude. I want you to consider others. For example the kids that can't go on youtube because of responsible parents desire not to expose their children to needless vulgarity. My son posted a video of skateboarding and got a lude comment suggesting he performs oral sex. Do you realy think this is just a short sequence of smooth changes in frequency and amplitude. You seem smarter than that.
But you can't stop them from swearing. I know people want to protect their children as long as possible, but you can't make them take precidence over everyone else. It infringes on their rights. Yes, they were wrong for saying that to your son; it completely uncalled for. But it can't really be completely eliminated.
This is not about eliminating it. It is about declaring it unacceptible. And in some case not allowed without repercussions. This young man suggested that profanity is merely a short sequence of smooth changes in frequency and amplitude. That is either willful ignorance or genuine stupidity.
Profanity polutes. It is a cheap way to add emphasis without requiring analytical thought. It is also innapropriate in most venues. Consider your three old daughter being told to stop F***ing around by a preschool teacher. Words have meaning. Some of those meanings are violent or crude. While we have freedom to exprees our beliefs, do we not also have the right to expect to go through life without verbal assault. Think about it outside your little bubble.
That's not possible. Swearing will never dissapear, and everyone will hear language like that sometime or another. The only escape would be to move to a deserted island.
No, because guaranteed who ever did that would still have some word they would consider profane. Or they'll come up with another word considered profane as is the case with the profane words we have now.
It is also not possible to go through life without experiencing theivery. Does this mean we should accept it or go to an island. No, I will stand and say theivery is wrong even though it is rampant. Not everything that is commonly done is acceptable. I will not abandon civilization but will attempt to gaurd my family from theives and simpletons with vulgar mouths.
Thats a red herring if I've ever fucking seen one. You're trying to draw attention away from the debate on profanity to a debate on theft, which is irrelevant to the debate. Then you try to say that well theft is wrong & shouldn't be accepted so profanity shouldn't be accepted either. You're missing a few logical connections b/w theft & profanity. Theft harms society, there is no evidence to show that profanity harms society.
"While we have freedom to exprees our beliefs, do we not also have the right to expect to go through life without verbal assault."
No, generally speaking you don't, b/c you're confusing profanity w/verbal harassment.
Theres a difference b/w verbally harassing someone & profanity. You can be verbally assaulted w/out any profanity. Its about the context, not the words themselves.
I don't know why i care about this video. Profanity is not the most important facet of free speech. Are all our major media oulets not run through heavy filters? Q: Who is Willie Rodriguez? Bin Laden gets his air time, why not this man? Use your brains.
jmmatos23, stupid is not nessesarily negative. when mullett-man tells, will ferrell, "you've got a fucking dart stuck in your neck, man", it's funnier.
You made some very good points here. I say, if you don't like it, don't listen to it. I don't like, and never use the word "Oprah", but I don't care if other people use it.
God...people are anoyying on their comments rules abid bla bla bla you should respect bla bla omfg shut up! XD don't explain what some word means maybe if we all are freaken retarded monkeys then explain but we aint its jsut becuase people got sticks shoved some where that they get all pissy DEAL WITH IT PEOPLE GOD gonna have to experance it sometime X_X nothin u can do make your comments non boring X_X like my grandma's socks X_X
I just want to know whats the reason for saying f**k in a conversation. using it would make a sentence have no sense. eg: what the f**k are you doing? if u know the real meaning of this word u should know that you are not making any sense in the sentence. that word is normally used by people with very low moral concepts or no wisdom. there will never be a case wehere that word is going to be positive, it is always used in a negative way.
for example: look at the comment of lion804. look at the way that poor guy uses the word, thats negative!. this "wannabe God" is corrupting every empty mind that looks at this video. who does he think he is to come here and say that what he says is correct because he feels like it?
jmmatos23 , ummm....ever heard of freedom of speech....*sigh* yeah....if people are so dumb as to take a opnion from some guy (lion804) saying "wanna be God" serously well...i don't know what to say please got get yourself shot if your that dumb XD!
The word fuck has a meaning and when u say "fuck u" u know u r offending someone. and if I say fuck u to u r going to act violently or be offended. if u use the word with ur friends fine u r that way dirty mouth but when u use it in the society u r just a waste. and u all know why, dont play stupid. its like when I call someone stupid, I say that when think u have acted stupid, but when u use the phrase "fuck u" u r only offending with no point. and if the word is nothing! DONT USE IT
The meaning of the word "fuck" is dependent on it's context. The phrase "fuck you" is offensive because of the idea it expresses, not the mere presence of the word "fuck". That idea can also be expressed by saying "screw you", despite the word "screw" not being considered inherently offensive. The contradiction that exists there cannot be justified with hollow concepts of "morality" or "courtesy". Logic simply doesn't support society's views regarding profanity.
We may have to consider harsher penalties. There are individuals with recurring violations, We have to consider execution. Soldiers filmed in the heat of combat have been heard using a number of four letter words. This constitutes "War Crime" Life in Leavenworth simply is not enough. These soldiers should be executed. Our children hear those sexual references and it will be with them for the remainder of their lives. Execute 500,000 and spare the lives of ten million!

Some good points, some bad points.
Tangent about hat has nothing to do with profanity.
fallacy of distribution in saying that words don't have meaning just because it's only a collection of sounds, this sentence makes sense, therefore words have meaning, dumbass.
I think you also had a strawman over the idea that puritans only want to ban words; they don't want hateful speech, and attacking words is just a fucking fruitless effort on their part.
heyheyhey0220 3 years ago
He was using the symbolism of the hat to symbolize an example of superstition, like profanity.
Profanity goes further back then you know.Every swear word we know of now was originally a word that was used for good pretenses.Word's like Cock, for instance were once used to describe a chicken in the bible, and Fuck was originally a term used for "Hit" and to "Fornicate". The reason why there vulgar now is because, we changed them into something that there not.

just like sex was cool, and one day some people started thinking it wasn't.
personally i think if you have a problem with sex, you're either a hypocrite or a test tube baby.
tubedeejay 3 years ago
And if you had any sense of intelligence you'd realize I have no problem with sex. I used Cock, and fornication to give you an example. In no way was I being a hypocrite. Sex was never really considered "cool". People looked at it as a revolution, or to start up new way's about looking at it, not bad but free.
These word's also were never "Cool". There used more ofter in music and T.V., it's because of this were just USED TOO saying it now, so much so that we don't even realize were doing it.

okay, overreaction. i wasn't using "you" as in "you, m2frogger," i was using it as "one," or "hypothetical person." common usage.

TheCapstanShanty 3 years ago
Well my friend the fact is that profanity isn't bad because the words are "bad". The act of demonizing words that are an idea, not tangible objects is an establishment of control. In every aspect of our lives this is abundant, such as dress codes, the FAA blah blah blah etc. etc. The truth is the profane words could be changed in any generation as they are and have always been because they don't exist, it's just a fabricated illusion, but the restriction of the words must...
TheCapstanShanty 3 years ago
...If all of our lives we didn't systematically conform to these rules then what in our nature would persuade us to conform on a grander scale. Just as a kid gradually learns to walk, a kid gradually learns to accept the rules in place. It's all a matter of baby steps man. It borders the idea of brain washing, and by the time you become conscious of the fact that the word fuck doesn't mean anything nor harm anyone, your thought is already set to the patterns it was taught

Yeah, but society didn't exist by itself. God created us in the first place. God created this world and everything in it. However since we have free will, not all of us conform to God and willingly serve Him, so we have the ability to choose either Life or Death.
If we choose Life, then we ought to live for God, but if we choose Death, you do whatever you want to do...because Jesus is very clear that He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life and no one comes to God except thru Him.

Good argument but you miss the poit almost entirely. Words themselves have no power, it is how they are used.

Why should one person not say something in order to make someone else comfortable? Pleasing or making someone else happy at your expense is something that we have the choice to do or not do. It'd be one thing if someone woke you up while you're sleeping because they have the music up too high but profanity is only words. Taking offense to certain words only because of what the words are makes no sense. Like thecaster said you should tolerate.

The episode was aptly named Profanity, and was entirely dedicated to the analysis of the human phenomenon of profanity. They had linguistics experts to the religious right give their opinion on it.

It doesn't have to be exact quotations[although this kid does do that], it can be paraphrased but its still theft of ideas. I'm not the first to call him out on this neither. I even pointed out specific parts that were exact quotes in earlier comments on this videos, but that was before it was even a 1,000 comments.

No, "bitch" is primarily an insult toward women. It means you think the woman is lower than and inferior to you. Well, originally it meant female dog...but that's not how most people use it.

People also use it to mean asshole, or a general swear-word, but that isn't the main meaning.

The simple fact is, branding a collection of syllables as being inherently rude IS ridiculous. Words such as fuck, shit and crap all lend a certain tone, feel and context to a statement or sentence, but not necessarily one of anger or spite. To give an example, there is an instance when Homer Simpson says "sweet merciful crap! My car!", not to insult but as an alternative to "oh my god!" or similar phrases.
DoctorFruitbat 4 years ago
The writers of The Simpsons are not stupid; they chose 'crap' because in the context it was used it was inherently funnier than the alternatives. The greatest comedians are all the funnier due to their mastery of language, including when and how to use words that in circles would be considered unspeakable.
DoctorFruitbat 4 years ago
The use of profanity can be extremely lazy, and is often used when others actually can't think of an alternative, but that's a problem with the speaker, not the words he uses. Giving those words even more power to shock is simply counter-productive, and we'd do well as a culture not to give them that power.
DoctorFruitbat 4 years ago
If every other word is a swear word, then it's just stupid. But swearing in itself isn't necessarily stupid. There is more than one kind of swear. Like, somebody can swear by a higher power (i.e. may ___ curse you). It doesn't have to be all blind and sloppy, it can be more creative than that.
Outlawcatgirl 4 years ago
You seem to have it the wrong way round, Vaportrale. The examples you gave show the issue of context, not of the actual meaning or 'rudeness' of a word. The skateboard video comment, particularly, could easily be worded without rude words yet still imply the action. Telling your daughter to stop fucking around is inappropriate, but it is because it implies actions more violent or wrong than if she was 'messing' around, rather than any particular use of 'profanity'.
DoctorFruitbat 4 years ago
I think it is you that has it wrong. While I understand you can be hostile without swearing, the lewd words that are rampant on youtube make it unsafe for children to broadcast. That is a real shame because it really would be more fun for everyone without the profanity. Cussing on youtube is a selfish act and selfishness is the root of hostility.

Its fucking selfish for you to try to trash our 1st amendment rights fucker. Only reason its unsafe is b/c of society considers it taboo. Its no more dangerous for a child than are any other words in language. You're too focused on the words & you miss the message & context of things. Thats the problem, cause I'm sure you'd be alright w/us using baby talk to replace profanity.

Your conclusion is presumptuous and at least in my case wrong. I do want you to change your attitude. I want you to consider others. For example the kids that can't go on youtube because of responsible parents desire not to expose their children to needless vulgarity. My son posted a video of skateboarding and got a lude comment suggesting he performs oral sex. Do you realy think this is just a short sequence of smooth changes in frequency and amplitude. You seem smarter than that.
Vaportrale 4 years ago
But you can't stop them from swearing. I know people want to protect their children as long as possible, but you can't make them take precidence over everyone else. It infringes on their rights. Yes, they were wrong for saying that to your son; it completely uncalled for. But it can't really be completely eliminated.

Vaportrale 4 years ago
Profanity polutes. It is a cheap way to add emphasis without requiring analytical thought. It is also innapropriate in most venues. Consider your three old daughter being told to stop F***ing around by a preschool teacher. Words have meaning. Some of those meanings are violent or crude. While we have freedom to exprees our beliefs, do we not also have the right to expect to go through life without verbal assault. Think about it outside your little bubble.
Vaportrale 4 years ago
That's not possible. Swearing will never dissapear, and everyone will hear language like that sometime or another. The only escape would be to move to a deserted island.

Vaportrale 4 years ago
Thats a red herring if I've ever fucking seen one. You're trying to draw attention away from the debate on profanity to a debate on theft, which is irrelevant to the debate. Then you try to say that well theft is wrong & shouldn't be accepted so profanity shouldn't be accepted either. You're missing a few logical connections b/w theft & profanity. Theft harms society, there is no evidence to show that profanity harms society.

I just want to know whats the reason for saying f**k in a conversation. using it would make a sentence have no sense. eg: what the f**k are you doing? if u know the real meaning of this word u should know that you are not making any sense in the sentence. that word is normally used by people with very low moral concepts or no wisdom. there will never be a case wehere that word is going to be positive, it is always used in a negative way.

for example: look at the comment of lion804. look at the way that poor guy uses the word, thats negative!. this "wannabe God" is corrupting every empty mind that looks at this video. who does he think he is to come here and say that what he says is correct because he feels like it?

The word fuck has a meaning and when u say "fuck u" u know u r offending someone. and if I say fuck u to u r going to act violently or be offended. if u use the word with ur friends fine u r that way dirty mouth but when u use it in the society u r just a waste. and u all know why, dont play stupid. its like when I call someone stupid, I say that when think u have acted stupid, but when u use the phrase "fuck u" u r only offending with no point. and if the word is nothing! DONT USE IT

The meaning of the word "fuck" is dependent on it's context. The phrase "fuck you" is offensive because of the idea it expresses, not the mere presence of the word "fuck". That idea can also be expressed by saying "screw you", despite the word "screw" not being considered inherently offensive. The contradiction that exists there cannot be justified with hollow concepts of "morality" or "courtesy". Logic simply doesn't support society's views regarding profanity.
