"Ive not responded for a couple of weeks because this like many arguments these days is irrational. It is flatly obvious that no one should be allowed to curse in public, even if they are shouting out their window. No rational mind could think otherwise. Thus the problem, how do you communicate with irrational people?"

You have a bad habit of demonizing people who disagree with you. You just assume you know what's best for them and remain as close-minded as ever. When you can't come up with a good answer you resort to basically "you're not enlightened and don't know better". But in reality you miss out on many blessings that God tries to give you through others, just because you are arrogant and have a hardened heart.

"It is flatly obvious that no one should be allowed to curse in public, even if they are shouting out their window. No rational mind could think otherwise. Thus the problem, how do you communicate with irrational people?"

Flatly obvious? No. Again, Cursing can change in definition. As of now it refers to something you find appropriate, but in the future it may become your beliefs that are considered cursing. Then you have to follow these laws you so desperately want.

Don't assume you know people. You know nothing about me, or most people on this site. You see a little bit of writing from someone and you try to categorize them immediately in one of your many stereotypes, and then ignore the rest of what they write. Try listening, God gave you 2 ears (in this case eyes), 1 mouth. It was for a reason.

I do not like cursing, I don't curse, I never have. I follow my Christian beliefs to a very full extent, so most of what you state (albeit in general but I can only assume you're referring to me as well) is very very wrong. However as soon as I can, in America, tell someone they can't say a certain word...they can tell me I can't say God, Christian, or anything else.

"Furthermore, if you are at a Christian social event and you desire to talk about graphic sex acts you are in the wrong. As well, if you are at a sex event and you desire to talk about such things it is appropriate. Life is subtle and there are rules. This is called civilization.

What you seem to be expressing a preference to is chaos. A world where might is right and the meek among us must suffer the moods of the aggressive. I certainly do not wish such a world. Politeness, discipline, restraint, these are the qualities of advanced peoples. These are the qualities of powerful people capable of doing good in the world. Those who would force themselves on hapless victims for the sake of self-entertainment are savages. They are the acid that eats away at the strong bridge, they are the virus that takes down the strong man."


Being polite is a different subject completely and I'm not sure why it was brought into this. This lady didn't get yelled at for being impolite, she was hit with legal action. You should know yourself that this is a bad start. It's possible that in 130 years anyone who mentions God will be arrested because it is offensive to 95% of the population. The wonderful thing about America (or used to be) is that you can believe what you want without legal action being brought against you. Now if you're not politically correct you're arrested/fined/etc. Also, drop the "bring the man down" crap...leave the drama to the women.

Being civil, polite, and cultured has nothing to do with legal action. So keep them out of this. I agree people should try harder not to offend more, but that is not here nor there.

"What you seem to be expressing a preference to is chaos."

what? Not at all. I just give common courtesy and wish treatment to others as I would want to be treated. Roles can be reversed, so I wish some protection when this happens (read Revelations, you know yourself this will happen one day)

"A slave has life, do you consider that sufficient and indeed desirable? Or would you consider an aspect of that persons life to be destroyed (trust me, if you are abused you always remember it, it is a part of you, leaving that situation doesnt take it away)."

Are you high when you write sometimes?

"When we force ourselves upon others we trap them, even if for a few moments, and force them to be involved in our thoughts. Cursing is exactly such a circumstance."

So telling someone they will be arrested and fined for saying a certain word is not forcing yourself on them?

All I ask is take a step back, look at the situation, and put yourself in the other person's shoes. You speak about being polite, try to consider someone elses point of view for a moment. As I've mentioned, it may be your point of view one day
