'.' Okay..... It's not bad, its there for emphasis. It's not like it has a "u" or anything. This whole "bad word" thing is pretty lame. |

I don't really understand why bad words are bad. I accept that I am too young to say them, but they are just strong words. Why is that bad?
Of course, I could go on to say "Why is torturing people bad? They are only feeling strong amounts of negative emotion, and why is negative emotion negative?"
I suppose we can't make sense of everything. |

There is no such thing as a bad word. Words are words, People need to learn to deal with it. Almost all the words come from words of yesteryear anyway. |

| @mj, yeah that's true. But I guess you can't really compare toting to swearing, because torturing hurts and kills depending on whatever. But swearing could be the word "toilet" if someone waaayy back when declared it was. |

@xc
Okay.
So why is it socially acceptable to say hate, when you can't say the F word?
"Bad" words have the same meaning as other words. You can say poop, but not the S word.
What makes one worse than the other is what he's saying.

It really doesn't make all that much sense to me, or at all.
It's socially acceptable to say butt, yet not the A word.
Why is this? Because the world is stupid. LET'S JUST END IT AT THAT.

What I mean is I can't fully understand why hurting or killing is bad either. I accept that it is bad, I'm just not sure why.
I think it's because I like to apply patterns and rules to everything and I can't put morals in to a definitive system. |

@Imbored:
HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII! How are you doing old friend?! :D
Anyway, freaking is a substitute for the f-word. But context is key. Always.
A word is only bad when you mean it to be bad. |

@mj
I believe hurting and murdering the innocent is bad. 'Cause really, what does a perfectly normal person who makes people smile and laugh do to deserve death? Nothing.

@MJ:
When you kill someone, you aren't fully ruining your future. But you are destroying their future.
It's just like Ab0r_t!0*N. Why take the chance of leading a great life from an innoncent person.

I think you're missing what I'm trying to say. You can keep going deeper and deeper in to something and why it's bad without ever really figuring things out.
Killing is bad because friends will miss them. Friends missing them is bad because it produces sadness. Sadness is bad because it is a negative emotion. But why is negative emotion bad? Because it could present suicide? Well then we're just back where we started.
As said before, I fully accept bad things being bad and would never kill someone, but I'm not sure it's possible to completely understand it. |

I think it's just an oddity in how I think, I really don't need other people to understand it. As I said before, I like to apply rules to everything, everything being as definite and exact as numbers. I can't do that with morals, so I end up overthinking them and confuse myself. |
