okay i have a couple of things to say (okay go on, say it...oh geez) eZabel is awesome (didnt expect that one didja?) i obviously wouldnt be on here as long as i have unless i think so. i think ian...
youre very right, using scriptures IS a big help... which is why the Bible is provided for us... what i do-not agree with is using the Bible online...time and time again we are asked by the F.F.&D.S. not to do that...
if you want to know why i think this, please ezmessage me....
....without profanity.
somebody really used profanity to you???
there is a difference between profanity and swear words.
someone got that mixed up.
wait a minute... what's the difference?
swear words ( to me at least) are words u can use in everyday speech, ie. Jesus went to the bible *hell* or he was *damned* to a life in prison.
Profanity is words u wouldn't say under any condition, even if a desert spider was crawling up you leg.
ok, to swear means:
To use profane oaths; curse.
Or
To use abusive, violent, or blasphemous language against; curse.
profanity means:
Abusive, vulgar, or irreverent language.
The thesaurus notes as synonyms of "profanity":
Synonyms: abuse, blasphemy, curse, cursing, cuss, cuss word, cussing, dirty language, dirty name, dirty word, execration, four-letter word, French, impiety, imprecation, irreverence, malediction, no-no, obscenity, profaneness, sacrilege, swearing, swearword
So, anyway, regardless of what you call it, saying words like those can be offensive to others when said with any sort of "tone" behind them.
NOTE: I'm not saying you said anything with malintent! I'm just making a point.
and a very good point it is indeed!
*see you are a genius ;)
<--------- would like socalgal to call him a genius, and learn to become a master tickler
even words in replace of other words you piece of cookie :\
That is what we call a euphemism. lol
what the heck is a euphamism?
A euphaNism is when you use a word to replace a swear word, like saying darn.
You're both wrong. It's Euphemism!
I guess nobody caught the bonus joke in Matt's comment: He used one in his question---heck---funny stuff Matt.
