the bad words we were punished for saying when growing up...the f word, b word, d word ect. are profane language. but according to my insight i believe these words are only bad b/c society has put it into our head that these words are not to be said in public and especially in front of children. granted, most religions tell you not to say cuss words, or to not speak blasphemy, but how are the common cuss words blasphemy? now, i am not a fan of cussing and rarely do it in fact, but why is it wrong? i feel all it does is put more emphasis on what you are trying to get across. ie. instead of saying "i am really mad at you" you could say "i am f*&^%$# mad at you"....same point coming across but just more emphasis i feel. if you have any insight on this topic i would love to hear it. i would also love to hear what authority says that the common cuss words we say are actually profanity. thanks.
