I have noticed that several posters have taken issue with the foul language that frequently appears on this site.
I feel I must draw their attention to the simple fact that swearing makes you big and clever.
I, for example, swear all the time and am a six foot university professor.

scotty says on Apr 21, 2007, 03:10: rubito try getting yourself some anger managment treatment (or) maybe you could join the famous ALEX BALDWINS School of Temper Tantrums (or) you could take a course in the rantings of a mad man by ALEX BALDWIN(or) you could write your own book and call it "How I was able to use foul language and get away with it on a friendly talk zone internet site" (or) " Me and my amigo Chavez know how to speak to the masses".

jaramillo says on Apr 21, 2007, 06:36: I think foul language should be avoided. Except when it's needed. Let me give an example. When he was 6 years old my oldest brother got in trouble in school for calling a kid hijueputa. My father was asked to come pick him up at the end of the day. When the nun brought him into the room my father asked,

CaptainHowdy says on Apr 22, 2007, 11:58: Use of the F word... The absolute best and most sincere use of the "F" word was in "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles" when Steve Martin was at the car rental counter in the airport!!! That is still one of my favorite scenes of all time!!!! It's a clinic on how to swear, so if you're not sure how to use the "F" word, rent the movie. I love that scene!

scooby_1781 says on Apr 22, 2007, 12:37: When people have to express them selves by cussing it shows their lack of education. The media has been working hard to create a society that accepts their political agenda, and desenstize our youth into accepting their morals. How many of todays stars have not been married a bunch of times, and how many do sleep around. As a society as a whole their are very few true role models that are decent human beings and have respect for their fellow man and have regard for the sactity of human life.

Monpirri says on Apr 22, 2007, 18:56: Quindioman,just pull out your accordion and play a vallenato song for us. Good to see you here though. I believe people who use profanity when they talk or write they do it because they want to intimidate others or because they are a bit insecure. For example, go ahead and spend couple of days in jail or join a gang in a big city and you will find out what is cursing all about. The life spam of a taste bud is ten days 0 funny, 0 helpful. |

I blame America for my bad habit before i lived there I wasn't swearing much.. but when i got there and started working with italians everything was fucking this and fucking that it was hard not to pick up the habit.. now i just cant stop.. i dont think it has anything to do with my education , insecurities or intentions to intimidate.. and its not like i use this kind of language all the time..but sometimes its hard not to.. try describing Messi's goal vs Getafe without using fuck or SOB.. I cant..or imagine Rubito trying to describe that experience he had with shots being fired without cursing.. not a fucking chance..

CaptainHowdy says on Apr 23, 2007, 16:42: Most profanity is used to add emphasis to what you're saying or to impress or intimidate someone. However, as I stated earlier, the rental car counter scene with Steve Martin in "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles" is one instance where the abundance of profanity is completely and totally justified! Haven't we all felt like that at some time in our life...If you don't know what I'm talking about, rent the movie!!!!! If I were dying in a few short months, I'm sure I'd find an occasion to express my feelings like Steve Martin! Teaching preteens the things they need to know! 0 funny, 0 helpful. |
