That's Life

I know all of you are probably laughing your asses off out there but never mind. I'm here to do my take on why swearing is bad. Swearing harms not only you, your family but everybody around you. That's why all of you should stop swearing right now! If you need some motivation to do so, check out the following reasons:

Swearing is addictive
Yes, although swearing does not involve tobacco, nicotine, tar and whatever that goes into a making a cigaratte, swearing is highly addictive. Let's start with an example. First, you say 'f*** you' when you are highly agitated and distressed by the perpetrator's actions and words. After a while, you will start saying 'f***' when swearing at nothing in particular, such as when you forget to bring something. Before you know it, you use start describing things with the word "f***ing' and this will obviously make you swear more, since we know how important descriptions are in conveying feelings and thoughts. Thus, we can see that swearing is a vicious cycle.

Swearing is uncouth
Some people believe that swearing is not high-class. They believe that only gangsters and ah bengs or ah lians swear. They believe that swearing should only be restricted to coffeeships where the air is polluted by smoke. They believe that swearing is bad. Guess what? These people are right. Do you see ministers swearing? (swearing in is not counted of course) Do you see teachers swear? (you do not know who Mr Ng is)

Swearing reflects a lack of character
People with real character don't swear. If a person has high moral standards, he will insult you verbally without cursing you, your father, your mother and your family members. If a person has guts, he will just assault you straight away. If a person is rich, he will just sue you.

Swearing does not go down well with some people
Some peopl are highly averse to swear words. Luckily for me, all of my friends are immune to swear words. (as all of you know, immunity is developed after strong exposure to something and is a result of the body getting used to it) However, a certain group of people (mainly girls) have developed a strong response to the usage of vulgarities in front of them. Responses involve dirty stares, shocked looks and tongue clicks. Anyway, we should be more sensitive to girls' feelings. I mean, scolding 'c*** b**' to a girl's face isn't exactly the most considerate thing to do. (Jie Liang, hear that?) I mean, how would we boys like it if the girls scold 'l** j***' at us? We must also bear in mind that we do not exactly want to burn bridges with a certain more 'conservative' brigade of girls.

I hope all of you will f***ing stop swearing now. Thank you.
