When engaging in an argument either verbally or by the written word, I have a tendency to revert to using societal enforced ‘bad language’ to illustrate my passion in support of my views. It then becomes easy for the person I’m in engagement with to point out that my argument/point has no solid base to it as I have to revert to swearing to get my point across. They advise me in the error of my ways that there is no need for me to use these kinds of words to demonstrate my opinion. To put it bluntly that is utter bollocks. Are people not allowed to get angry and get passionate without some dullard using some acceptable notion that anyone who uses ‘fuck’ can’t be right, they just must be an irrational bellend. Swearing is expressive, it can enforce and strengthen an argument, it makes people listen and above all, it’s fucking funny. So next time you’re in a heated debate about the sterilisation of idiots or that the new Tesco metro is an inconvenient truth and you actually know what you’re talking about; instead of just spouting some statistics and words that twats don’t understand dust off the naughty words and get mad. Intellectuals are too often ignored by the masses. People are susceptible of intelligence and supposed elitists because they have no chance/desire to be in a similar position themselves. It’s time to reach people in different ways. I know it probably won’t make a difference but having the opportunity to insult people surely is more fun whilst explaining the world is doomed. Don’t dress it up as a Hollywood film and get ex-Presidential candidates, Shakespearean actors, Pop Stars or Morgan Freeman to explain the ills of modern life. Learn new insults, combine new swear words and see what happens. And yeah before all this purchase a copy of Fight Club. Make it the last dvd you ever buy.
