If she got fired, big deal.

The point is everything in its right place (thanks Radiohead lolol..)

If a firm has clientele who are offended at swearing, so be it. I don't people should swear willy nilly at work, and I'm far from a prude, but that's as it is.

I went to Catholic school, and in 6th grade Sister Eugenia told us "if you swear, it just means you're not intelligent enough to come up with the right words to express yourself."

That kind of resonated with me, and it's true. The more someone swears, the less intelligent I think they are. Therefore I very rarely swear. If I do, people come running because they think something bad happened 😛

Not true. I think I have a fairly wide vocabulary, but swear sometimes for the hell of it, depending on the situation.

Who is to say Obama doesn't swear in private, either with his Chief of Staff, Cabinet, or Michelle, or even his daughters? Is Obama inarticulate?

That's that thing that Fox News does to hostile guests: "Let's say hypothetically that this respected person does this action. Because you're against this thing that he may or may not do, your argument is void."

I'm sure the president does swear, and I'm sure it's done for emphasis (which is proper), not as part of everyday conversation. Someone like my brother-in-law, on the other hand, will use the F word as a noun, pronoun, verb, adverb, diphthong, and dangling participle in the same sentence all day long. People that do that actually do sound less intelligent.
 
Basically, the only people that don't cuss are scared prudes and scared children. Of course, obnoxious children will cuss (badly) too, but that is a slightly different subject.

I am normally extremely chill, so I don't often cuss at people. But, that piece of shit WalMart-special piece of equipment over there? It can go to hell. The person that insists we fix it for the tenth time, instead of spending fifty bucks on a machine that actually works, they can go to hell too, but I normally find a more subtle way to tell them that.
 
Regularly... It's the environment I have been subjected to for the last number of years.

At least that's what I blame. 🙂

yet it's often said that people per se who swear are "dumb". If somebody speaks well in other occasions, but swears in private, it's simply context at hand, not some prudish fool's black and white conception of life.

The fact we managed to get to the bottom of page 2 before this was raised gives me a warm fuzzy feeling inside though.

Try reading the thread? It was mentioned tongue in cheek in the 3rd and 4th post and directly in the 12th post. Not sure what the lowest number of posts per page is possible because I haven't used dial-up in ages, but I think it is more than 2?

Edit: And FYI we are talking about pome guy, he just misspells stuff on purpose and refuses to change it to bait lunatics on these forums.

You can't be a fireman and not swear like a sailor. But I don't go overboard generally, unless I catch myself on fire or something.

Also, why is nobody yelling at the op over the misspelling?

It's an affectation wittle Bwian uses to highlight either of his twin obsessions, pometry and proodishness.

He lives to "keep it kween," which is why he never lets his doggerel in the hizzouse.

Words like "f*ck" apparently never cum out of his mouth. What cums in his mouth, well, only his Bible Buddy Bruce knows for sure.

Bwian's convictions stem the stern austerity of his upbringing, which reportedly included no running water . . . or working genitalia.

In adolthood, though, he's turned his situation from bad to verse. He's now employed as a doorstop in a major Christian outreach organization. Their twin mottos are, "Has Jesus touched you in your most important place? We'd like to, too!" and "Put your hand on the gland of the man from Galilee."

^^^ Oh, and this, you @#$%&*$%# beaches. 😉






Disclaimer: Bwian and I have had our differences, but nothing I wrote above is meant to be taken all that seriously, except the posts per pages thing! I actually think Mr. Manahan is one of the more interesting posters in OT . . . I sware!

^ exactly!
 
I'm studying to be a Jehovah's Witness so I have to stop fucking swearing. So what if the OP spelled 'swear' 'sware'. It's his right in a 'free' country.
