I don't respect your hostility in the discussion. This comment reinforces that you and me merely have fundamentally differing opinions about the matter and there will be no conclusion.
As for the rigidity of the discussion: I'm of the school of thought that strives for efficient communication and of the paradigm that things should argue, not people. I'm in this to learn stuff and learn about your opinion, not to clash with you.
But I've come to realize that internet forums generally are filled with people who get empowered with argumentation errors and thus attempt at civilized discussion tends to be fools errand.
You seem to have interesting opinions and so if you'd like to continue this discussion further, my Matrix handle is in the bio.
According to social norms originating from bronze age mythology and oppressive edicts derived therefrom. Do try to keep up with modern society.
Are you trying to claim that swearing is socially acceptable in modern society? You wouldn't swear in your customer service profession and you wouldn't swear to someone you respect.
That makes no sense. The definition of successful use of language is expressing what you intend to express in the ideal manner for your specific purposes. A lack of versatility would hamper any efforts to achieve that goal.
I would argue as someone who doesn't natively speak english that words with double- or multimeanings (versatile) are hard to learn and interpret in language. They pave way to misunderstanding and by nature limit the richness of the language.
Only when used improperly, like with any word.
I would claim that using swear words are mostly if not always used inproperly.
But writing this response I'm increasingly willing to blame cultural differences. My mother language is very hard to learn and in it you would add a suffix to add versatility to a word. I'd say we come from different places and respect different things in language.
As per your suggestion:
TL;DR: Shit happens, rally helps. Good talk, have a good one.
Swearing is undoubtedly poor language in the sense that it's not socially all acceptable.
Also it being versatile doesn't make it any good, rather other way around. That swear word being used rather than other descriptive terms is use of poor language and sign of poor vocabulary.
Also the study is about knowing many swear words rather than using them to fill in all gaps in sentences.
I guess this post is as good as any: Is there a chance to make it's own community to this certain comic?
Others have done, such as The Far Side.
As this seems to be reoccuring series and being posted a lot here, I'm sure there would be fans.
One more reason to ask is that it's not even the original comics being posted, but edits of it, which make little sense to casual scrollers.
With my options for ceasing to see this in my feed being blocking the community and blocking the poster, I want to negotiate for a third, less drastic, one.
Olen terve nuori mies. Kuitenkin pari vuotta taaksepäin olin syyhypunkkiketjussa, jossa syyhyä jatkui on-off lähes vuoden ja hoitoja oli lähes kymmenen. Hoitokulut oli loppujen lopuksi usea sata euroa. Fyysiset oireet ajavat hulluksi, mutta nekään ei ihan yllä sille tasolle henkistä kuormaa mitä unettomuuden, stressin, epätietoisuuden ja sosiaalisen eristäytymisen yhteisvaikutus tuo. Olin poikkeuksellisesti masentunut tuon ajan elämästäni. On hirveä tauti.
Vilkasin karttaa ja omasta kaupungistakin löytyi pari paikkaa, joissa oli kuvaus- /lennätyskielto. Toinen paljastui louhokseksi, mutta toinen jäi vielä mysteeriksi.
Adding: While it's been a while since I read the Art of War, I recall him teaching to lead the own groups to an dead end to confront the enemy. That way they'll fight more fiercely, for their lives, if you will.
Well, impressive. 👍
