What IS cussing?

[Pink Ranger]

Is that a nightmare or life long dream?

Memory.




Don't get the wrong idea, nothing happened with me and Erz. I was just secretly videotaping random heterosexual couples for a nature documentary and chanced upon that situation. I'm not some kind of sicko or anything.

What drives me crazy is the fact that a word that applies to something EVERYONE does at some point (hopefully in the washroom, while sitting on the toilet) is considered a "bad" word and not permitted on the Radio and/or some web sites.

Whereas a word that is usually used to insult people (rhymes with witch and should be used to refer to an adult female dog) is permitted in some of those places. Since it is usually used to insult women and not needed in normal conversation why isn't it restricted?

At yet crap is totally acceptable yet it means the same thing. So why is the other version of that word not acceptable?

Again...it just makes no sense. We teach each generation that these certain words are wrong and they just pass it on down the line without stopping to think "waitaminute...why?"
