A thoughtful post


that I don't really agree with.

The F Word and Christians

The F-Word can be very expressive, but so are a lot of other words and what it can really express is a lack of vocabulary and a lack of thought for other people. To say that it's just another word, and to use it in regular conversation, seems to be something the younger generation is doing, as though freeing it from it's vulgar classification and trying to make it mainstream. There's a lot of words that shouldn't be mainstream, even though they're just words. It's not what they are, it's what they project. I'm not sure that 'liberating' this word is good. Where will it then end? Are words just constructions of letters and without meaning of their own?

Anyway, what's wrong with the word fork? Just wondering...
