you never called anyone a bitch?

wheres your sense of fun ace?

Psh, I've said that word a bajillion times. You just seemed angry.

That's not good. Cursing dirties the heart.

Eh. I usually use it in a joke.

Jokes used to be good spirited and clean. Good old times.

Sometimes curses make jokes funnier.

That's what the society that you grew up in made you think.

cant it just be what he thinks?

Society shapes the way you think

but we dont all think the same way as the societies of our lives.

if he disagreed to the perceived society then i wouldn't say it was society that made him think that way, so i wont say that when he agrees either, otherwise he wouldn't be free thinking.

Well that would have to be about being rebellious. But cursing is the norm.

the fact that something like cursing has become normal tells you that its meaning has become flexible, not only that but it is usable in a wide array of situations.

You cannot hold old values in the face of change...



i recommend you stay out of arguments of social influence with a psychologist/sociologist

"the fact that something like cursing has become normal tells you that its meaning has become flexible"

Wrong. Maybe in the West. In the East, curses are curses, which then supports my earlier statement.

i didn't know you were talking about the implications across countries.

Well know you do. It's a global phenomena.

that also confuses me, are you saying the increase in cursing is a global phenomena?

No it isn't. The society influenceing us, is the global phenomena.

ofcourse people are influenced by their societies. its a survival thing.

Great. So I won this debate.

no, it was wrong of you to say that to ace.

Why? I also grew up in Ace's environment.

because you are talking down to him

No Im not.

2 reasons why you were.

first you instead of we

and secondly you imply he isn't thinking for himself... which he is.

Well, I was talking to HIM.

I didn't imply that. Dont twist my words.
