I find it ironic that you have a problem with curse words as they represent immaturity, but you're fine with throwing demeaning insults at people.


No irony in called a spade a spade. In my opinion, it the sign of a weak mind to need to use profanity to express strong emotion, of trying to 'write with fire' but failing utterly. A great writer never will need to resort to that so frequently, and then, when used super rarely, it is powerful. Used a lot, just meh -- and weak. Like an unrefined learner, a boy.


Only a child responds strongly to the world fuck. Most teenagers go through a phase of using it every third word. But, most adults I know only revert to peppering there language with it when they feel a type of mild annoyance. Normal speech and strong emotions evoke their own unique responses, but dealing with self absorbed idiots for to long and you think they might have Tourette syndrome while they unwind.
