He explained that, in his view, f**cking was an act of love, not hate. Perhaps he was in the minority....Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04593195823514805943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9078157424531850345.post-37451113443642682502015-10-11T16:17:45.610-07:002015-10-11T16:17:45.610-07:00You were born to argue Stan.

It's a function of your skill as an orator. So I suppose I'll be spending some energy re-evaluating and working toward letting it go. Even though I value and enjoy the word and it's been a staple for me for my entire life. F*ck.

It works for me.

It just has too many valid uses beyond the sexual aspect, to me. I am trying to watch my mouth more, in general.stevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13584534907778341069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9078157424531850345.post-78626749612106530352015-10-11T14:10:26.265-07:002015-10-11T14:10:26.265-07:00That is right.

There are other expletives without the same built-in connotations and it is telling that they are regarded as less "effective" ("shit?" for example). <br /><br />Within my tradition (Buddhism) speech is regarded as so influential that, unlike its other 7 partners in the Buddhist Noble Eightfold Path, Right Speech is subdivided into 4 further parts we are to refrain from, according it a value most do not take seriously enough: harsh, malicious, idle, gossipy. Expletives such as you mention here violate the first 2 seriously. And it is a struggle for me as well (being the son of a working class sailor).
