I may swear like a pirate, but I'm a fucking PRINCIPLED pirate

Sure, and it's not like there arent any efforts towards that.
But since hate words do exist we don't use them in order to not empower further the mechanics/shitheads that do use/promote them.
Why isn't this solved already ?
Why does it persist ?
Do the people who proclaim to be doing something about it gain something for it persisting so it never get actually solved ?
I mean, even as I figure out what they're for and how they're being used, surely this has been going on for centuries if not millennia.
So why is that shit still even around ?
You'd think we'd have it figured out by now, dealt with and ready when the next duckface tries that crap.
But I guess not... -
Nice try Tik Tok

What is the real difference between 'fuck" and 'frak'? Or 'god damn' and 'gosh darn'. They mean the exact same thing but one is bad and one is fine? That's just dumb.
We don't censor our kids except by situation. They can swear at home but not at school, for example. But that's mostly because of how general society perceives swear words and not the words themselves.
Words are given power through meaning. We teach our kids about meaning. And words to hurt others are not allowed. Saying fuck is fine but calling someone a fucker is not. But we don't allow them to call someone stupid, either.
Racist/dehumanizing words have power through meaning, not really the words themselves. The words just end up changing because those racists still want to convey what they mean. Teach people to be better about the meaning of what they say, not the specific words they use.
The best way to teach not only kids but pretty much anyone is through example. I don't forbid my kids from swearing but I don't swear in front of them.
I teach them there is a time and place for every word.
But saying "I swear in front of my kids but I'm not a racist" is just lazy. It's basically saying "I'm just ok at what at I do because I'm kinda selfish"

That's dumb as shit.
It isn't and you know it. I doubt very much they you go out of your way to swear in front of kids... Do you?

Get fucked.
Lol. Ya... Tracks.

What a fucking dweeb posting a shittier post on a shitpost golf clap

So it's ok for your kids to use the words but you just don't swear in front of them? Isn't that just being a passive parent?
We don't judge other parents for the choices they make, and in fact we teach our kids to not swear in front of other kids. But that's no different then speech used with friends and speech used in a professional setting. Everyone adjusts their speech by setting.
We do teach not just by example but by also making sure they understand the meaning they are trying to convey. For ALL words. The difference between the meaning of racist words and non-disparaging swear words is an ocean. Swear words are really just regular words while racist words are meant to hurt someone. We don't allow any words that are meant to hurt, no matter what that word actually is.
To me using frak, heck, gosh, darn, etc is the exact same as the equivalent swear words.
Allowing swears also takes away their taboo nature. My wife's nephew was brought up the same way and was the only one in his friend group to NOT get in trouble for swearing at school. He knew the time and place.
To me, teaching to base language on the meaning and not word itself is the opposite of lazy.

He fits every single definition of the Antichrist with little reaching.
Down to the head wound and the mark of the best upon their forehead.
Asking if people could spot the antichrist has always seemed paradoxical to me. Isn't the antichrist's defining thing that he will deceive people into following him? Lost cause imo
-
It isn't and you know it. I doubt very much they you go out of your way to swear in front of kids... Do you?
I don't go out of my wayto swear, or to not swear... I don't talk about sexual stuff, but swearing is not something I would hide.

Look me in the eyes and tell me you don't judge people who wear red hats.
That's different: judging people for their actions, not who they are.

wrote last edited by [email protected]I feel like the days of pearl clutching over profanity are on their way out. There is always a time and a place for it, but I grew up hearing "fuck" come out of my drunken relatives every other word. My parents didn't say it, and they didn't let me say it, but the only real weight the word ever had was that it was cool and exclusive to adults.
One of the biggest culture shocks I had when moving from the US to Canada was how much more laid back everyone is up here over profanity in general. Almost everyone uses it, very few people (save for maybe the elderly) get uppity when they hear it, and I've heard it used freely on FM radio many times. I still think it's trashy to fly a FUCK TRUDEAU flag or decal on your car for everyone to see, but nobodies up here clutching pearls. They just think you're a dick.
Not sure why it's still such a big deal in many parts of the US.

But then you wouldn’t be judging the person solely for wearing a red hat, but for what the red hat implies, no?

wrote last edited by [email protected]Words become more acceptable over time. In centuries past calling someone a devil or saying that they should go to hell would have been deeply offensive. Today these insults are so mild that even schoolchildren say them to each other. Even twenty years ago the word "fuck" was viewed with nearly as much taboo as racial slurs. Now, it's a very common word that people will throw around in a casual context.
Even the word n****r (means "black person") and its non-hard-R variant are starting to lose their offensiveness. In African-American Vernacular it has taken on a variety of inoffensive meanings. It is now only offensive in certain contexts while fifty years ago it was pretty much offensive in all contents.
At the same time, new words emerge and get labelled profane. For example, the word t****y (means "transgender") would not have meant anything twenty years ago, and now it's one of the most offensive words in the English dictionary. Similar story with the word f****t (means "homosexual").

It's a word also used to refer to a car transmission.

What's interesting is, traditionally in language, once forbidden words got ran out, there were still other bad words left to enter the lexicon. "Damn" used to be a genuine curse. My grandfather survived WWII and proudly told be people of all the bombs he dropped, he never dropped the F-bomb.
What's next? There's no new forbidden words. Nothing left in the back of the store. Our ability to run through words outpaced our ability to make bad ones.

True and fantastic (especially if your community/family are/were hateful bigots!), but one should still strive not to be a potty-mouth. It's crude and unbecoming, idk, at least to me. It's the equivalent of being a bit stinky (or very, depending on how much one swears) IMO: sure, it might not be immoral, whatever, but you could make the smallest of efforts and not offend my senses...

Being a pirate means taking from assholes who do not deserve it. If you take from anyone you're an asshole yourself.
I pirate AAA games because they do not deserve my money, as the poor gameplay vallue doesn't exceed 2 hours. I pay for indie games because they deliver, it's worth my money.
I used to be in the navy, went on deployment to Somalia several times to hunt pirates. I deeply regret it. Because althoug they have no choice and do what they do because of what us western countries did to them, they do horrible things to others who do not deserve it. But in the end we as a rich western society are the cause for their despair. So we are responsible for what they are forced to do to others. I ended up with PTSD.
You can be a pirate with principles. Especially when mega corps and billionaires are forcing society into submission, forcing people to work to just to survive and/or force people to be someone they are not.
Fight the oppression. Piracy isn't a crime, it's symptom of a crime. Also, these days you do not own the media you purchase. It's not theft when you steal something which you cannot own it when you purchase it.
