why is profanity so bad? the only reason we have the label "profanity" is because people choose to use them negatively. the f word really means sex, or something related. it was never meant to be taken on a negative light. the derogative f word (the one insulting sexual orientation) really wasnt supposed to be considered an insult. it was just meant to classify someone as gay, the same affect as the word "homosexual". now it is considered a bad word. personally, i dont see anything wrong with profanity. do you?
