Well, it would appear you either lack basic logic, or are really ignorant.
First, you say that '*shock* some people are over thirty five (Believe it or not, these are the people I relate to most, most people at my age I consider immature, or did you not read the part where I stated I am considered conservative by most), which can be interpreted as being in complete contradiction to your second argument: That you have no belief that there is something wrong with young people swearing (That is what that whole section implies. If you go against my statement of IF [Key word there, read it, I am not making up your argument, I am creating a response to one that some in society, possibly including you, might have. It is a debating technique to rebut possible opposition arguments before they surface believe it or not] you find young people swearing offensive..., you must therefore not agree with the key points of the statement: 'young people swearing offensive'. Either that or you needed something to try to insult the argument I made with, so you used that)
Yes the words have lost meaning to me, and also a number of others. Not just school kids, but the majority of people under 35 that I know. Believe it or not, these people do exist as well, and will be the ones running the country when many of the over 35s retire. I have already stated that I am generally more comfortable in the presence of adults, and as such, I find that I know them more. I do not count every single person that I know the name of as someone I 'know', as I do not know them. I know there name, I may know of them, but I do not know them. Those that I do know tend to be more conservative in nature, and we tend to ere on the side of caution. I also never stated the world revolves around me, it seems that you think the world revolves around those like you. It is merely a point of view that I and many others have, just as yours is a view that you and many others have. Does that mean we both think the world revolves around us individually? No. It does not.
I feel embarrassment and annoyance on the instant of stubbing my toe, as well as a slight bit of anger at myself for not seeing this coming and avoiding it, or for doing something so stupid it became impossible to avoid it, a reasonable reaction, I believe. That is the instant I stub my toe that I have the ability to direct these emotions. I could swear that instant, if someone, or something, is close enough, I could lash out at it (I would rather not hurt myself by punching something, however. My survival instincts tell me not too), or I can let them build inside me. A few times is not enough to snap, but we are constantly taught to let our emotions out as, even in my own life (my mother builds up her negative emotions and then releases them about three months later in one great torrent. It is a flaw that I share with her), too much stress has been proven to give a person a shorter than usually temper, allowing them to snap easily (http://www.helpguide.org/mental/stress_signs.htm). A few times a month will not do this, but if I maintain the stress of my emotions every time I injure myself, or whenever I would usually curse, it would quickly grow to a breaking point. I get to this stage about three or four times a year, as I generally choose option 3 as I am in the company of others. When in my 'snapped' state, I tend to feel a greater want to inflict harm to myself and others. However, I am a highly logical and thus realise that these would be stupid things to do, and override these tendencies, and instead take it out on an object of my room. Should I have to go through this stress so that people do not have to hear me say 'Shit' occasionally?
You have stated you swear, in the right company, and that is the same as me. In company of those who swear, I will swear. In company of adults, I will not because they do not like people swearing. You come across to me as incredibly biased towards anyone in school, regardless of upbringing, unless they share your views. This is very immature, and although I can see what many of my generation have done to deserve this, I do not see why this stereotype should be assumed onto all of us. Believe it or not, our policies on swearing do not seem that different, our views however, are. Am I, from the fact that I disagree with you, no longer entitled to my opinion?
Edit: Wow, the number of basic grammar mistakes I make at midnight is incredible...
) but yeah, thats a really dumb idea :|
