Why is cussing bad?

[Luke]

I made love to your dog and defecated in your purse.

I fucked your dog and shit in your purse.

I must be alone here in thinking that the first sentence is actually way creepier. The first sentence gives implications that there was some foreplay, you and the dog made a strong physical connection, there was probably some cuddling involved after the climax, maybe you even shared a cigarette with the dog.

Uhh.... I think you may be alone.

Compare the impact of these two sentances:

I made love to your dog and defecated in your purse.

I fucked your dad and shit in your purse.

The second sentance has more impact because of the taboo nature of the words used.

Whoops, that was a typo; it's supposed to be dog both times. Fixed now.

Wow. Clearest example of a Freudian slip ever!

He isn't, I like where this is going personally. Giggedy.

"Making love" and "fucking" are similar in the sense that they both involve having sex, but they don't mean the same thing. "Making love" is sex with someone whom you care about. "Fucking" is strictly having sex and doesn't mention anything about the amount of love involved.

I am aware there is no answer to my original question. I just find it fascinating how a totally meaningless rule could continue to survive.

I could change it to "Slept with your dog" if you're going to split hairs. You still don't have the same emotional impact as you do when using "fuck".

I disagree, as I think the answer is that cussing/cursing is not bad. Like I previously stated, out of respect for those who are offended, and around women and children in general, I don't curse. In fact, I'll "correct" my friends if they do curse in front of women and children, much in the same way I "correct" people who use the word nigger around me.

It's not a white and black/right and wrong thing, it's more about the context and situation in which you use curse words. You don't have to agree with everyone's beliefs, but it is admirable to respect them. That, and in my experience, the people who curse the most have the smallest vocabulary. Of course, there are always exceptions, but usually the reason some people curse so much is because they aren't intelligent enough to phrase their anger eloquently.

That said. Fuck fuck fuckity fuck fuck.

Yes, there are definitely exceptions. I'm eloquent as fuck, but when I'm pissed, I just don't give a shit about sounding astute and erudite.

+1.

Even on this forum, I don't think my posts are a good reflection of me personally. Yeah, I do love to kid around, but it is an Internet forum, not reporting to a board of directors. I think in my PM's more of my actual personality comes through, maybe not though. Oh well, no worries on my side.

What funny to me is there really isnt a way to explain the word defecate nicely, or you don't go into it at least. After what sounds to be a truly romantic moment with this dog, somebody simply shit in that purse
