I have a scale for listening to other people's advice.
The use of the F-word once in that advice means "caution, possible lunatic or just over-excited and has a poor grasp of the English language for expressing themselves".
The use of the F-word twice means "lunatic confirmed, possibly aggressive and agitated, very poor command of the English language, not to be trusted."
The use of the F-word three times means "Shut it off. Advice is over."
I'm glad you stopped after only two.
Thank you for your post. I get so tired of people degrading our language, and poisoning interactions with others. I was a career correction officer. I know how this kind of language leads to the "dark side."
I know how the language police kept everything nicey nice while they destroyed our world. I know how they redefined words like 'gay' to make being a faggot good instead of evil, and that list of redefinitions is endless.
If you're not mad enough to cuss about the situation we are in then take your higher road right on in to hell.
People who talk about...the dark side. Always makes me think of someone too nervous to talk about evil....and to say saying fuck leads to...the dark side....total drivel....I can believe you were a corrections officer....I can see how you were well matched to get that job!
People like to talk about how bad language leads to bad actions.
Truly? A man who watches porn and fantasizes about beating his enemies to a pulp, has already committed more criminal behavior than anyone who has said “fuck” to flavor their grammar.
The usage of vulgarity does not indicate that someone is vulgar - the thoughts, and whether they express them in actions, is what indicates they are vulgar.
Also, vulgarity can be used in a tasteful way to liven the English language some, it can be quite bland without some spice tossed in... it's a sign of the times
When I am at the level of anger where I go quiet...then people should run
If I'm yelling it's me blowing off steam ,and I'm not really angry.
Reading some of the other posts, I think most are missing the point of what I said.
First of all, I'm not the "language police." I was only expressing my experiences of the use of language. When I was a correction officer, and before I understood the full power of language, I became a "potty mouth" like the rest of the officers and inmates. I'm not kidding when I say that this CAN be a path to the dark side.
Secondly, I'm of a different generation than the rest of you. I remember when people were more civil, and more forgiving. The younger generation is used to jumping quickly to anger, flipping the bird, etc., etc. This does not represent civility.
To tell me to take my "...higher road right on in to hell" is a good example of what I speak of above.
I don’t agree one way or another with the interaction you’re having right now, but I will tell you what God‘s Word says about foul language.
I had a horribly foul mouth for many many many years. God change that for me by me memorizing this scripture.
“Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.” Ephesians 4:29-32 NKJV https://bible.com/bible/114/eph.4.29-32.NKJV
It’s not just the F word.! Although I can say there’s a whole Nother side to all of this, I have to go with what God‘s Word says.
If you want to talk about dark side, let's talk about prison guards.
Overall, they are some of the sickest, evil people in general society.
Care to elaborate how you know this?
WTF! What about work rate? How long is the advice? Fucks per minute? Does this count for nothing?
What if the advice is a stirring appeal to one's best attributes, delivered with an open heart and empathy yet with stunning candor; a life changing, diamond bullet of insight fucken ! Are you to just ignore it?
What if the advice goes for a day or two?
What if tomorrows Loto numbers were about to pour like honey out of his otherwise bombastic, impure mouth, hot on the heals of the last fucking and the penultimate fucking!
I feel if you are going to have a scale it should take into account Fucks per minute, the worthiness of the advice with the fucks removed, if the fucks contributed to the overall hippness or vibe of the advice or if they were pedestrian fucks - deployed without finesse or eloquence and somewhat extraneously.
Also to be considered - Was the advice screamed? If so a fuck is mandatory!
Does your friend use an iron lung - any advice coming from an iron lung must be shouted and include at least one present form of the verb (fuck/fucks) and a Present perfect continuous form (fucking).
All of this is food for thought and I hope it strikes you well.
no probs. So ridiculous I had to perform my civic duty.
This guy fucks.
Science has proven that people who curse are significantly smarter, have a higher vocabulary IQ, are more Honest, and Loyal and make better friends than people who don't--not to mention we're funnier. Cursing also relieves stress and pain and increases performance during sports. Cursing can increase circulation, elevate endorphins, and cause an overall sense of calm, control, and well-being.
There are about 10K articles about these studies online. Look them up. Though at this rate, I'm not sure you're intelligent enough to understand them.
Fucking Church Ladies... If I wanted to be preached to by a repressed idiot who thinks using foul language--or that having long hair and having sex in any position other than missionary--means I'm worshiping Satan and conjuring demons in my basement, I'd go talk to my fucking grandmother.
I like your ranking system. After the first two, I was about to stop reading, then kept on to see if there was a third F bomb. Personally I prefer no F bombs, it indicates a lack of clear, logical thought.
....and in this day and age that's a fucking high bar to clear.
