    Language Normal
Click For Summary
The discussion centers on the prevalence and acceptance of foul language in society, questioning whether it has become the new norm or if this perception is a "social misnomer." Participants share their experiences with swearing in various contexts, noting that while some environments, like factories, may see frequent use of profanity, others, such as formal settings, discourage it. The conversation explores how swearing can serve as a form of expression for emotions like anger and pain but also suggests that overuse diminishes its impact. Many contributors argue that resorting to profanity reflects a lack of vocabulary and articulate communication skills. The thread highlights the divide between different social circles regarding language use, with some participants advocating for more respectful discourse in forums to enhance communication and learning. Ultimately, the discussion reveals a complex relationship with foul language, balancing its role in emotional expression against the need for articulate and respectful dialogue.

NO![/color], I am NOT saying that, you are.

Mentor. please lock out the thread as this clearly is no longer about the topic I started, but has digressed to nothing but the same old attack by entropy and his henceboy(s).

Entropy, having read a little bit about your attitude towards women, you are going to get yours, what you deserve, one day, God Willing I will assure/Gaurantee you of that!

BYE!

Requesting a thread lock and conveniently changing the subject? Sounds like Mr. Robin Parsons knows he is defeated.
