"Fuck" as a word can only be called automatically offensive if you define "offensiveness" so vaguely it amounts to "anything that bothers me." Some people do think this way. "Suck" is sometimes used in "you suck" the same way. Its emotionally powerful because the sexual connotations of the word give the curse humiliating overtones. "Fuck you" is the rare example of an actual curse. "Bad" language is called "cursing", but it almost never is cursing. Things get interesting when "fuck" is used as a curse. Still, it is neither here nor there in itself. Because it is an uneducated style of speech, "fuck" filled language is often found traveling in the company with stupid, mindless, and ignorant speech. It's just that using "fuck" as a kind of rhythmic grammatical filler is not an educated style of speech, whereas those peculiar German words are part of the mainstream dialect.

Using "fuck" is not, objectively, any morally less worthy than "doch". The word "fuck" is used by many people in English much the same way. The German language has words like "doch" or "mal" which play a kind of grammatical function but don't mean anything specific. Some ways of using a word don't require assigning any meaning to it. It's also true that what a word means depends on how you say it. Well, your point is that how people react to words depends on how they are said. He's only going to know the meaning of the word based on who said it, the context, and how they said it. If a 5 year old boy never heard the word "fuck" before, hearing it isn't going to turn him into a mindless degenerate. Swear words are just words, they aren't magical, they don't bring down society. Now, if I went up to the same chief, screaming to the point where my face was red "Hello Sir! I hope you live a long and prosperous life!" He would take great offense to that, he would think I was angry with him. He wouldn't know what I said and would only be able to guess that it was something nice, since I said it with a smile, in a calm polite voice, while offering a basket of gifts. If I was visiting a tribe in Africa where no one spoke English and I went up to the chief with a basket of various gifts, and offered this basket to the chief while smiling and saying in a calm polite voice "I hope you fucking choke on a bucket of cum you worthless pile of shit" the chief would not take offense. You realize the word "fuck" is as much a word as is the word "existentialism." They're degenerate, and they evoke emotional reactions in other people, causing those other peoples thoughts to also degenerate into mindless, primitive emotional reactions, overriding their capacity to reason things through and act effectively. Swear words are the equivalent to howling in pain or rage.

So just pick your superstition, sit back, make a wish, and enjoy yourself. Same as the four-leaf clover and the horseshoe, the wishing well and the rabbit's foot, same as the Mojo Man, same as the Voodoo Lady who tells you your fortune by squeezing the goat's testicles, it's all the same: 50-50. Half the time I get what I want, half the time I don't. I noticed that all the prayers I used to offer to God, and all the prayers I now offer to Joe Pesci, are being answered at about the same 50% rate. So I've been praying to Joe for about a year now. It's amazing what you can accomplish with a simple baseball bat. In fact, Joe Pesci came through on a couple of things that God was having trouble with.įor years I asked God to do something about my noisy neighbor with the barking dog, Joe Pesci straightened that cocksucker out with one visit. Second, he looks like a guy who can get things done. Two reasons: First of all, I think he's a good actor, okay? To me, that counts.

So to get around a lot of this, I decided to worship the sun. What do you say? "Well, it's God's will." "Thy Will Be Done." Fine, but if it's God's will, and He's going to do what He wants to anyway, why the fuck bother praying in the first place? Seems like a big waste of time to me! Couldn't you just skip the praying part and go right to His Will? It's all very confusing. And here's something else, another problem you might have: Suppose your prayers aren't answered.
