Swearing in PUBLIC, What the FUCK

[icemanrip]

Should Swearing in a Public Place be allowed after the 21:00pm Watershed. Isn't it Hypercritical that you can be arrested for this, but they repeatedly put programs on the T.V full of Swear words. Are they noyt worried about offending the Public then. What a Crock of Shit. it is after 9 you know.

In the Laboratory known as the 'UK' we are subject to the 'Scientists' experiments.

Duplicity of this kind is psychological confusion experimentia.

Tourettes is a 'side effect'.

Up & to the right.

Swearing in public is a legal offense??? :confused:

Hmm.

It is uncomfortable to be around sometimes, but shouldn't be outlawed.

My friend got back from boot camp and dropped 'fuck' and 'shit' about a dozen times while I walked through the store with him. Just casually strolled by little kids and their parents while cursing a blue streak.

What I find odd is that some people don't have (or lose) the part of their mind which is supposed to monitor the words that come out of their mouth, or at least consider how other people might be affected by it in public.

Bollocks, the Police swear like Fuck, we don't say hey we are offended, you're Nicked.

How very true, and how sick and tired of it all i am. I'm not ready to give up though; onwards and upwards - whatever!

big pyles of dudu ... nicely put ... it is after nine :D :D :D

Section 5 i'm reliably informed from watching U.K. police documentaries. You get one formal verbal warning and then in the police van. What gets me is most of the time everyone could go on their way peacefully if the police used a bit more tact.

IMO its extremely Hypercritical to tell someone what they can and cant do full stop.

Those guys are cool man :)

i still swear myself at times, such is it ingrained in my noggin, however the introduction of curse words i think in the first place by whomever was extremely nefarious.

let's start with "fuck", now fucking not only creates new life it is also extremely pleasurable, yet for some reason the word "fuck" sometimes gets used in a negative fashion aka "fuck off".

then there's "cunt", portal of life creation/birth and pleasure, yet it's most often used as a curse word and is seen as the worst.

surely don't need to describe the others!

about the only one worthy of cursing is "shit" as it afterall just waste (though an essential mechansim of human life so perhaps...)

the point being it ain't called "cursing" for nothing and those that use such words in a negative manner are indeed flowing negative energy towards some of the most beautiful aspects of our lives.

[icemanrip]

My point is exactly, that you turn the T.V on after 9 and it's fuck this fuck that and thats ok. Even the Reality Police Programs have the Police swearing in them, total Hypocritical Bullshit.

aye i get your point and apols, wasn't trying to curdle your thread, merely making the point about swearing/cursing. :)

[ozpixie]

I have to admit that I am sensitive about people using swear words or who wear (what I think are vulgar and offensive T-shirts) but accept it as I expect to be able to express myself according to my own values. Who can or should arbitrate what is right or wrong anyway???

Seem that Huxley was more accurate than Orwell

[vetis]

not sure its a bad thing its looked down on in public. is speaking to eachother in a civil manner that bad?

my main problem is i dont swear around my daughter but there are some extremely ignorant people who swear around other peoples children and they are scum frankly.

hate to use the children example but its valid in this case. i dont even use slang at home or ever used baby words for things, trying to help her mind develop when most people sound barely above animals is an uphill struggle.

[lynfowars]

I think people should be able to say what they wish profanity-wise in the streets.

However, I also think other people have the right not to hear such things if they don't want to hear them.

So how do we balance things? A lot here seem keen on all-out anarchy, that we should all do what the fck we want and say what the fck we want, anytime anyplace anywhere.

Yeah yeah yeah - but what about the rights of people who live lives of quite respect and don't want to hear people effing and blinding?

Is it tough-shit for them? or should they STFU as they can wear ear-muffs?

I got thrown out of a local pub for saying "Fuck"

Unbelievable, I said its a pub not a "fucking school playground"

:eek:

I know a good bunch of people that say fuck in every few sentences.

"I was er going to that er fuckin place..."
"she was er fucking err..."

It seems to be a word to place in to a sentence when you can't quite spit it out. I notice that people who talk a lot of shit :p say fuck a lot because they are just trying to come up with something to say. It fills the time.

Alas, poor language, I (sort of) knew him. We are encouraged to use less & less words all the time. To shorten texts to save money, to speed communication etc etc. The problems that arises from this are manifold. Our vocabulary has been besieged for years. We are all probably guilty of the over use of "extreme" words such as the word "hate". hate is an awful word which i detest. yet its used at least once in every 3/4 sentences. I "hate" is used flippantly but according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hate_speech#United_Kingdom its illegal! The phrase i hate gayness or i hate religion is illegal.... YOURE NICKED! :)

If I were to communicate with your friends and family with the plethora of words that people used 50 years ago to express their emotions, experience or condition, I would be ridculed and/or ostracised for it....

A phrase i use often is "profanity is the first refuge of the inarticulate" Yet i was often the first in the door of that refuge..... :p

It seems like some people compete so much for emphasis they repeat the same "shock & awe" words to the point they lose their impact.

I never finished secondary school but I never cease to be amazed at the crudeness of the words which some of my "higher education" friends use to communicate.

i swear all the time at work, and so does my buddy, and fuck anyone who bitches amirite?

Really it's a habit that people find hard not to do, so really thats why we are fined for it. It's a CASH COW.

[yellowbentine]

Swearing in public isn't illegal as such. It's the context. You might get nicked under section 5 of the public order act if the language you were using was causing 'alarm, harassment or distress' - an example of this would be if there were vulnerable people (children, elderly people) within earshot. When Charlie swore about the goldfish on youtube, there didn't seem to be any evidence that alarm or distress had been caused to the nearby child (there was certainly no complaint made at the time).

Some coppers don't understand this too well and think they can nick you just for swearing at them. As officers, they're expected to demonstrate a higher level of tolerance (i.e. not be alarmed at your gobbiness - regardless of how unpleasant it is). A good custody sergeant wouldn't uphold an arrest for merely swearing at an officer.

As regards collecting revenue (fixed penalties), I don't think too many police are really comfortable with that role.

[kanz]

It's only word's , hell when I speak out of old habit every third word is fuck :o. As long as it isnt directed towards anyone, or you don't say it around police , you really won't get any problem's. Also try to avoid it around kids if ya can.

Tho i think the idea of being arrested for just saying a word is stupid and unlikely , police most times won't bother with you swearing as long as you arn't swearing at the top of your lung's.

Bollocks

scum? thats a bit harsh don't you think? who swears most? poor working class people. why don't we sterilise them? yeah!

Having studied both intensely, i'd agree. Then again.. they both knew the score imo, they had the script, they were part of the agenda.

[woodelf]

well thats just too doggone bad that one can be fined for cussing, i find it a wonderful way to enunciate and add emphasis to expressing oneself. i cuss like a sailor when riled, and used to get into big trouble for it from my father :D
