:) “don’t cuss unless it’s appropriate” is smart.

It’s OK to censor ourselves sometimes. I always feel like a piece of poop when I swear around a kid. (Even though they probably hear it on TV anyway.)

My Dad always said, “don’t cuss unless it’s appropriate,” and sometimes it is! post titles like “Breakthroughs are Bullshit” grab me and rattle my cage, and I love it, because I need that. I appreciate your honesty and straightforwardness.

Yes, I do censor my personality in public. I’m not proud of that, and I’m working on it. I’m either really quiet and low-key, or really over-the-top, depending on where I’m at, and neither one is really me. Social awkwardness sucks, which is why I love the blogosphere…I know how to be graceful with written words! ;)

Thanks again for hittin’ me sideways…keep being your rockin’ self!

[...] A Riskologist’s Guide To F*** You Funds. Personally, I wouldn’t censor it. ;) This was a great read. Whether you have a job or not I recommend it. If you’ve already [...]

In third grade, during a kickball game, this girl on my team that I didn’t like for a multitude of reasons started helping the other team. I yelled in frustration, “what the hell do you think you’re doing?” I had to write, “I will not curse in school” fifty times or so and turn it in to my teacher. A friend not too long ago said, “Shut the front door.” which I found hilarious! It really is all in context and delivery I think.

Wow. I already thanked Karol for his use of the word shit, and now I find this article. Nice! And then I remembered something I had blogged about on this same topic awhile back. Strangely enough, it appears I wrote this about 11 days after Karol did! Spooky, eh?

Don’t miss the last paragraph…

Hey Teresa,

Thanks for adding your thoughts. It boils down to the simple fact that we’ve all got to be ourselves. Not many people (maybe nobody?) is as open as I am about myself on this blog. It’s not a good business decision because I know I lose a lot of readers, but the ones that stay are my Right People and the ones I truly care about. :)

Cheers,
Karol

An interesting post with many different opinions. Here’s my two pen’north. Cursing is not ‘just words’ whichever way you look at it! Any words are ‘just words’ but put in a particular order, whether cursing or not can cause a lot of damage and/or hurt. 99% of cursing is completely unnecessary, pointless and a degredation of language.
However, saying that, although I don’t swear in public, I’m not a prude by any means (my sister swears like a trooper!), I find it still takes me aback when I hear crude swearing, and people are always apologising when they swear in front of me (if they think there’s nothing wrong with swearing why do they do that? And I don’t show dissaproval or comment so it’s not that).
Swearing can be funny if used cleverly but done too often, again, becomes ‘tired’. These are just my ramblings that come to mind so apologies if it’s disjointed. Teresa

I wont leave if you curse. Blogging is a very open platform anyways, very uncensored. StevePavlina makes 100s of 100s a year from his blog and he swears sometimes. Sometimes you need to swear in writing to get your state across.
