I hate the fact that people nowadays are using swear words in polite conversation and how people have become desensitized to the real hurtful and rude meanings behind those words and are using them in their normal conversations unaware of the rude and dark history behind every f*** they utter... Once, I saw a guy drop the B-, Who- and F - bomb on one granny who was just a little slow in getting on the bus. I overlooked it because i knew he was an a**hole but what got me was that the granny retaliated by saying, "Don't try me boy, or i'm gonna beat your punk A**... get the F*** out of my face!". I was shocked because when I was small, my grandpa would smack my behind if he even heard me whisper those sort of things. He told me that people who use swear words are either idiots who can't eloquate their thoughts properly or idiots who can't think for themselves and just follow what they see regardless of whether it is right or wrong. Now, I'm not saying I'm a saint.. I use plenty of "bad" words when I'm particularly pissed or when I'm in my closest circle of friends. And I don't want to insult anyone who may have used three or more swear words in one post... I just want to point out those dumb bastards who can't even find the decency to cover up their mouths when infront of small impressionable children...
I curse, I curse a lot. I'm careful about it though. I don't do it much around friends that don't appreciate it, and I don't at all when near small children or in polite company. I agree that people who use swear words all the time regardless of location need to take a step back and analyze themselves a little, but most curse words don't have a "dark history." Some words were just given a second meaning to make it into a curse word (ie: bitch), and some were just made up over time (ie: fuck). As a society, we have deemed them inappropriate due to not being able to appreciate the true meanings of most words anymore.
I can swear as much as anyone and do at times with my friends, but I automatically switch off without thinking when im around my family and children or in a public place where people can hear.
I pretty much keep my comments to myself when I am out in public, but I do slip up at home especially when I get over upset over something which I now have to work harder at as my 2yr old is starting to repeat words back and a couple of them I really hope are not what they are sounding like.
fucking ned/chav teenage girls pushing buggies in the high street, whores. they always seem to be in groups of three (six including the poor wee bairns).
Sick of people calling gameplay mechanics "gimmicks" when they have no better argument. That's like calling having a controller a "gimmick". If that were the case I could call every console out there a (in the words of dedboy) "gimmick machine".
The 360 offers me one thing, gaming, that means it's the ultimate gaming machine. The PS3 has it's useless BluRay drive and Six Axis shit and the Wii has it's crap gimmick controls, that you need to buy an add-on to further extend it's motion controller type doohickey. I want to play games, that's it, 360 is the best. Bar none.
