ummmm, thanks perm........ . . . .
And I think it's quite strange that you've gotten around the language filter, and i have mentioned that before.
IF you're parents start swearing at you, like Perm's example of 'f**king get over here*, then
1) you're gonna become just like them, ie you're gonna start swearing and cussing 24/7 too
2) you're gonna think that it's OK to swear 24/7
So it does come down to how you were brought up. Parents and outside influences such as entertainment and the schoolyard environment are majorly involved. And not just for how kids talk either, but how they behave and the way they judge and perceive the world around them.
Sure, maybe TV broadcasters wouldn't show extreme violence or extreme profanity unless people already do that as Perm said, but it's one HUGE paradox:
People are influence by what they see on TV, but then broadcasters show things on TV based on what is popular with the masses. It's like the games industry, but thats for another time. I've done classes on all of this stuff before. We watched videos, did readings, wrote essays, all of this in school AND University.
And nolimit, it was the topic of consumerism
If this loop continues, then the morals of humanity (not humanity in general like the thread says), will come to and end. When that happens though, it will seem like humanity will end. People will have no concept of decent behaviour:
Do you think it's ok to harrass women? Grab their asses and make passes at them? Even protitutes are people too. Do you think it's ok to swear out loud in public? DO you think it's ok to be abusive to kids or your parents? To others? Do you think that it's ok to kill someone because he tried to do any of the above? What about starting riots at Sporting matches cause your team lost?
If you answered yes to any of these, leave. NOW.
My friends seem to love driving to this hotspot in Sydney where protitues work and throw eggs, profanity and other things at them (not Kings Cross, its too crowded). They've even asked me to join them, but i *sadly* have to decline as I'm doing assignments for uni. Their behavour is wrong, and i've said that to them, but they still do it whenever they're cruising around and get bored.
I know that poeple swear in public, like Mouse Clicker, Perm, Ninja and others have proclaimed, but when you do, how do you do it? Do you just do it when talking to your friends, in a private conversation? Out loud like so many gangs and other indecent people? Do you actualy have a brain and switch it on every now and then to know when NOT to swear or act indecently?
I know that private conversations can become loud, like when there's a joke or you can't seem to controlt he volume of your voice, but then it DOES become offensive.
Mouse, i know you don't have a problem with people swearing at you (maybe even abusing you?), but then many people say thet simply to keep their chin up and act tough. Maybe it IS ok with you, I'll never know, cause I'll never have the chance to meet you and do it in person (thats not a threat ok? Don't take it personally - it's just an example for my rant here
).
There might be some inconsistencies in my rant, but meh. Correct if i'm wrong and i'll just reply back with a rebuttle.
