Noticed not many people use curse words.

So… why the fuck not?

    It makes me laugh when some people give certain words magical powers. They are just fucking words for Christ’s sake.

      But certain words DO have power, even if it’s just power attributed by others it’s still power, and it’s really naive to think they don’t.

        Agreed. Words are what made us different than animals and words describing abstract ideas made us better than other primates. Words are maybe the strongest power we have

      They’re not “magical”, they just have meaning and connotations.

      Given the way humanity works, words generally do and should have power (“profane” or otherwise). If they don’t, what’s the point?

      On profanity, to me it’s a set of special words to break out for emphasis. If I just casually use them, then they lose value as emphasis. If those words were just as mundane as others, what would be the point of their existence?
