The world’s obsession with profanity

There are many things in the world that I don’t understand. I don’t understand people’s craving for religion and mythology. I don’t understand the appeal of the USA. I don’t understand the appeal of techno music. I don’t even understand the appeal of the taste of onions, or why people choose to be vegetarians.

But there are a few things that I just don’t get, and there appears to be no reason for those things. I just don’t get why the word fuck is any worse than the word orange. I don’t see why the word shit is more profane than the word love.

And what is wrong with a little harsh language and nude bodies on television, anyways? Are there little girls who would immediately become lesbians, should they see a breast on televisions? Are there little boys so vulnerable that they would immediately become homosexuals if they saw a naked penis on television?

I’m sorry, but I just don’t fucking get it. Why are we so afraid of our own bodies and our own language? Why is sex even so taboo, anyways? It is perfectly natural.

Are you afraid that kids will imitate what they see on television? The thing is, sooner or later they will see people have sex, either via the Internet, in their parents bedroom or on TV late at night. It is inevitable, and it shouldn’t be so bad or wrong.

And words, oh my… What the hell is wrong with the words bitch, fuck, cunt, twat, shit, etc.? How are they bad? The society universally accepts them as wrong, and there’s just no reason to.

If you think you can provide a carefully reasoned argument, why showing breasts or genitalia on television is wrong, or why profanity is bad, leave a comment below.

…because I sure as hell can’t.

Embarrassed to be human

The emotions I am feeling right now are indescribable by mere words alone. Those emotions did not come lightly.

Today, I thought about the human race, our place in the Universe. Our history, our future. And I kept thinking, that something is wrong. Something is very, very wrong.

As long as our species has existed, we have constantly killed one another. We have created ideas, ideologies, theologies and doctrines to justify killing one another. We just want each other dead. We are the only species in the world that kills one another. Why are we doing this?

From the beginning of our conscious mind, so kindly “given” to us by Evolution, we have tried to find ways to kill one another. It started off with brute force attacks, but as time advanced, those attacks became more sophisticated. We have evolved in terms of warfare, and killing each other, but we haven’t got rid of it.

We fight over superficial things, such as economy. We fight over fossil fuels, which are outdated to say the least and should have been replaced by something better years ago.

We get absolutely nothing done, and it’s all due to our idiotic beliefs that do not help us the least.

Today, I heard about the latest happenings in Texas. The texas school board have voted for the distortion of facts and history in school textbooks. They voted for the teaching of bullshit instead of Evolution. They voted for indoctrination over education.

So, yes. I’m embarrassed to be a part of this non-progressive utterly conservative idiotic species that believes 2000 year old bullshit instead of scientific facts, backed by evidence. A species so eager to get back into the dark ages. A species killing one another over religion.

I’m embarrassed to be a human being.
