because they deem certain words ‘bad’

 

Does any­one know

if you can say

fuck for 5 minutes

in a PG-13 rat­ed film?

 

BE­CAUSE FUCK­ING WHY NOT   I ASK YOU. 

Be­cause it’s a bad word?   WHAT THE FUCK IS A BAD WORD?

We have enough is­sues try­ing to fig­ure out what is in­her­ent­ly good or in­her­ent­ly bad – we don’t even un­der­stand the con­cept of evil well enough to know if it does or doesn’t ex­ist. It can’t ex­ist – not alone – not with­out good­ness be­ing an op­pos­ing fac­tor to de­fine it in the first place.
 

Did the word fuck mur­der any­one? No.

Pow­er does that. Pow­er is a bad word. ‘Be­cause’ is a bad word. ‘My word is law’ is a bad word. ‘Yes’ is a bad word and so is ‘No” be­cause the peo­ple be­hind those words – and we all pos­sess the pow­er or abil­i­ty to end a life – have used those words to end lives. We do it every day.
 

And I can’t say fuck in public.

And I think we can all agree hu­man suf­fer­ing, in­flict­ed pain, and the end­ing of lives is BAD.

But not words. Those are just ideas. Not ac­tions. Our brains pos­sess the abil­i­ty to eval­u­ate these words and the abil­i­ty to chose whether or not to act upon the trans­la­tion we make of them.

I live in a world where I have the right of free­dom of speech as it has been writ­ten down on down on a doc­u­ment … a while ago … and yet there are forces in this world, in my world, polic­ing me from say­ing cer­tain words in cer­tain settings.

The very ba­sis of a sym­bi­ot­ic so­ci­ety of hu­mans is fuck­ing lan­guage and there are still a sig­nif­i­cant por­tion of us who don’t like the sound of an f, a u, a c, and a k, TOGETHER.
 

Be­cause why?!   BE­CAUSE WHY?!!!

So
I’ll say it right here and right now, if that an­noy­ing ass idio­syn­crasy of Amer­i­can so­ci­ety was NOT feel­ing the need arise to say things like “Hey, watch your lan­guage,” We’d all be sig­nif­i­cant­ly less violent. 

Yeah, I said it.
