So, I was intercourse ing walking my way through this poopty airport when some ugly ass ninny comes up to me and asks me for my intercourse ing ticket.
Am I a comedian yet? :3

I try not to curse excessively, but don't mind it too much when people around me curse.
However, I do agree with the taboo of cursing.

Although logically it makes no sense... the fact that the majority of the world thinks cursing is "bad" basically cements the fact that it is bad.

Stand-up comedy can go one of three ways.

1- Cursing just for shock value, where the jokes aren't particularly witty but are made entertaining by cursing. (Dane Cook)

2- Jokes are decently funny, but cursing is used at certain points to improve the joke or put emphasis on a certain part of the joke. (Most comedians, most being mediocre)

3- Jokes are great, well thought out and engaging without the use of cursing. However, cursing can and will be used. Cursing isn't relied on, but is present. (Jeff Foxworthy, Jim Gaffigan, and a multitude of other top notch comedians)

There are tons of exceptions, but these rules generally hold. You can't watch a Dane Cook show multiple times and laugh each time, once you know the using is coming it takes away the entertainment value.

And then there's Ron White, who uses cursing excessively but is really a genius in the field. It depends on taste mostly, but I will take a comedian from the second 2 groups over a Dane Cook any day,

Am I alone in thinking that Jim Gaffigan is unfunny and actually a pain to listen to?

Well sorry to disappointed you Super.

I don't use those harsh words.. IRL atleast.

I believe my point can get across with out using such words.
However, the person who complained should of known better to be in a place like that anyway.

I forgive you; the South can be negative on a person's mind. D=

Really, though, I was exaggerating about EVERYONE being stupid. I know that there are respectable people out there that can get by without cussing, beating people, etc.

But there is a point where someone will try to confine their vocabulary in order to stay in order with their "morals".

You probably have a good heart and don't want to offend anybody, but in this day and age, using swear words can simply be more effective, and because of how the world works, being polite won't always get you somewhere. I'm not saying normal words can't be used effectively, though.

It's all about how you use your words. People can make myself sound smart or passionate with either.
Different situations call for a different level of formality, like speaking with a boss. I'm not telling you all to say "Hey Mr. Boss, intercourse you! Give me a intercourse ing raise."

So sorry if I offended you, it definitely wasn't my intent. Maybe I shouldn't have used those insulting words. =P

I think that cursing in a casual conversation is unnecessary. It makes the person cursing look like they need attention or something. I only curse when I'm angry or when I need powerful descriptions, like you stated.

My logic. I have nothing to take away nor add.
