Was George Carlin unintelligent? Whether one agrees with his views or not; he was quite intelligent. What about Stephen King? Well, he was smart enough to know English and then write a shitload of books, and make tons of cash. And I happen to know for a fact that guy doesn’t have a clean mouth And if I’m wrong, he utilizes a lot of swearing in his books. Talk about that. A guy who doesn’t swear, but is a pro at it in his work. fuklolz
Of course, I would defend swearing, because I do it all the time. Even so, I’m unconvinced that people who swear a lot are stupid. However, I may be defeated in this point by mentioning people who never swear, but are mean as shit, flying under the radar and hurting people with words, hurting them bad. Swearing is often used as emphasis for emotion or surprise, which is why it gets me down when it’s usually targeted as something hostile by most people.
I ain’t got fuckall, brar. I often hear; people who swear have problems expressing themselves, and have no imagination. Well, I have problems expressing myself, and I also have no imagination. I’d be prepared to accept this from others, if it wasn’t seen as such a weakness. Why is it so wrong if I can’t express myself, and have no imagination? What’s the problem, exactly? I’m nice, so who cares! I think I’m nice, anyways, duurrr
Ranting over, no, I don’t think swearers are below intelligence. We’re not all diplomats with a flourished vocabulary no, but swearing is so common place and used by so many, that if this so called statement was true, then we probably wouldn’t even have any computers to use in order to debate this.
Some day I’ll prove my point. If I ever write any book, I’d love to write one about swearing, its history and sources around the world, and its current existence in several societies and cultures. but I ain’t gaul durn knowing nuff’ bout this right there fecal matter to write dem burks
