stuffparty! - Aren't we all getting a little old for this?

Wherein stuff! is tumbled. A tumblelog by Karl Gunnarsson.

Oh, and I also edit a photography blog here on Tumblr called 1/125. Go check it out.

Aren’t we all getting a little old for this?

We’re all civilized people here. We’ve heard it all. What are we trying to protect by not using swear words where appropriate?

The children? They know all of the swear words already. They learn most of them through occasional slip-ups by their parents. And when they get to school, they share knowledge with the other children and quickly learn the rest.

Marco’s piece is quite a bit longer but I cut out the best bit. They’re just words for crying out loud.

There are no bad words, just bad use of language and bad intentions projected through language.
