I’m sorry, I just don’t see the logic in claiming that the “F” word is a bad word. It’s not a bad word any more than the “A” word is, or the “B” word – and let’s not forget about the “Z” word. Entire civilizations have fallen from using the “Z” word. I understand not using the “Z” word, because the “Z” word is the most offensive word in the entire galaxy. But the “F” word and the “S” word?

How, precisely, are they bad?

Words can be used as weapons, but that doesn’t make the words bad – the people using those words to demean or demoralize are the ones who are bad. The “F” and “S” words (themselves) are inherently not evil. The “F” word helps convey strong emotion – and the “S” word is something that every f’ing human does. If you’re offended by the “F” or “S” words, then I feel sorry for you.

Mind you, I’m not talking about the “W” word, the “C” word, or the “N” word – I’m only talking about the “F” and “S” words (rather, racially-independent words). I can’t really defend the “G” word, because the “B” (and/or “T”) strictly forbids its use. Think about WHY you might be offended when someone uses the “F” or “S” word – is it because the words are bad, or because you feel it’s immoral to use words that aren’t sanctioned by some random moral authority?

Oh, and then there’s the “E” word – which is a completely different argument (with direct relation to the “O” and “Y” debacle). Moreover, why is it okay for some people to use the “J” or “K” words when others can’t? Doesn’t seem fair to me, and that is quite offensive in and of itself.

I use “F” word, and I don’t feel a “D” bit of shame (especially when I’m trying to eke out a wicked “S”). Let s/he who has not f’ed cast the first “Q.”
