Da f***, Rosalina?
Yeah, I heard that the "two fingers up/Facebook profile photo" gesture considered rude in England.
Anyway, more on topic, I don't swear much in real life, but I do it somewhat online, as I feel less guilty about, especially here since the worst words are automatically censored, but I censor most of my mild swears as well, so the wrong people don't see it.
People do it every day in school. They always say "no cursing in school," but everyone just perceives it as "make sure there are no teachers around," yet most teachers in my school either don't care or have terrible ears. Nobody every gets in trouble for that kind of stuff anymore, unless it's an elementary school where a classmate might tell on you for doing it. It's impossible to go through a normal day of middle or high school without hearing an F or S word among general hallway conversations.
But the sad thing is, it's becoming more and more accepted these days. Parents don't care about it, and sometimes even say these words to their kids. Some parents even have the nerve to showcase their kids cursing on the internet. I bet by 2020, Nickelodeon shows will allow the word "damn," and by 2100, there won't be any such thing as a bleep.
"It's just a word," many people say. It's a word that's unnecessarily taking over society. Why do people say it? Because they hear other people say it, and they just "go with the flow." Also, it's an attention-grabber, and it works at getting your point across, even if it's not the best way to do so. "This is who I am" vs. "The is who the F*** I am." Which one makes you think of the statement more? Exactly... (brownie points for anyone who knows the source for that). It's sad really, but there's nothing we can do. All the adult celebrities say these words, heck even child role-models like Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber have been caught swearing.
BTW, has anybody ever heard of the "No Cussing Club"? It's led by a kid who was tired of hearing swears at his school. He has quite a lot of support, but just as much hate. He's the most cyber-bullied kid in the world, it seems. Any video on YouTube about them that's not against them has the same like-to-dislike ratio as Rebecca Black's "Friday." I just want to cry for him. I feel so bad for all the undeserving hate and death threats he gets. He's not trying to abolish cussing from the world, can't people understand that? Keep up the good work, kid! Be strong!
