I'm really sorry you felt ignored, and I can understand what silence can feel like.. albeit to a much lesser extent than you felt when you wrote the next post. I hope you don't feel taht way now!<BR/><BR/>True - I'm a college student, and the f-bomb is used as punctuation by most of us. Usually a vent for all the aggression and depression left unresolved. I've been through that phase and hopefully come out of it, but I still drop the f-bomb and its like a bit too often by way of exclamation. Again, mostly a vent. <BR/>I will certainly defend my right to swear as a vent for negative feelings, since it makes me feel better. But yes - flinging rubbish around unnecessarily has to stop. I will consciously try my best.<BR/><BR/>Thank you, Chani.Sukhalokahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08839282055547314024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34955137.post-27095354834022844002008-06-03T21:58:00.000-07:002008-06-03T21:58:00.000-07:00It's interesting to me that my dear dog (and best ...It's interesting to me that my dear dog (and best friend) Goldie reacts so negatively to swear words, even when they are said in a normal tone of voice. She gets SO upset. She looks at me like I have done something terribly wrong. I have to try and not swear around my dog. It is kind of funny that she polices me, but she is a very sensitive beast.SUEB0Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16301963922769609715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34955137.post-21217057405844407252008-06-03T20:58:00.000-07:002008-06-03T20:58:00.000-07:00I emailed you that I wasn't going to comment, but ...I emailed you that I wasn't going to comment, but I will.<BR/><BR/>This post has good points, however I also feel that much is to be read into things which truly don't have meaning. I applaud your ethic in watching your words and your behavior.flutterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11828689769747130419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34955137.post-32682964203517958842008-06-03T20:56:00.000-07:002008-06-03T20:56:00.000-07:00This is all true.

I know it, even though I occasionally use profane language for amusement or shock value, which is childish.<BR/><BR/>When I was a teenager, I used a word I had learned from my peers and my father heard me.<BR/><BR/>He said, "Such words are used by people who don't have better ones at their command. You have an excellent vocabulary and I expect you to use it."<BR/><BR/>I always remember him saying that when I indulge in vile language, which is really verbal junk food. Yet I never eat junk food.<BR/><BR/>You have shared some wonderful and necessary thoughts here, Chani.heartinsanfranciscohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07535397382991383931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34955137.post-80184970334923272482008-06-03T20:19:00.000-07:002008-06-03T20:19:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05602868040771218507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34955137.post-74853309757730283722008-06-03T14:28:00.000-07:002008-06-03T14:28:00.000-07:00I think it's a very important thing to think about...I think it's a very important thing to think about.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02362687820368214420noreply@blogger.com
