Sometimes I just sit around and try to analyze the oddest things. Trying to sort out why something is this way or that way in my head. One thing that pops in my head a lot is, are you ready for this?? Curse words!
Cuss Words. Swear Words. Whatever way you want to describe them! Maybe I think about it more now that I have children and don't want them getting in trouble at school for saying one of these very naughty words!
What makes a word a "bad word"? How is
sh*t any different than saying "poop"?
Damn instead of "dang"?
F**k instead of "screw"? As* instead of butt? Why is one word considered bad and another considered acceptable when they both mean the same thing?
WHO out there decides which words are bad and which words are ok? Why should children get punished for saying
as* instead of butt? How exactly do we explain it to them? It really seems down right silly to me. They are just words for christ's sake! Why might I get banned from certain blogger rings or social sites just because I might say one of these expletives? Yet, it's perfectly acceptable for me to say poop, feces, butt, arse, sex, screw, heck... etc..?
Why are some people considered "dirty" and/or "bad people" because they say this word instead of that word?
Does anyone have an explanation for this? Curious minds want to know!
